Acomparative Study On Jiangxi And National Maths Papers For College Entrance Examination Based On SOLO Classification Theory

Based on the theory of the SOLO,this study has selected mathematics test questions set independently by Jiangxi province for college entrance examination(2010-2014)and maths test questions from the new national curriculum I roll(2010-2015)as the target research samples.It tries to analyzes these questions'different difficult levels,so as to reveal the difficult levels of maths test questions set independently by Jiangxi province for college entrance examination and the ability levels required to handle the national science mathematics examination paper.This thesis goes in hope that it can shed some light to the mathematics teaching in high school and that it can help find a good balance between the selection of talents determined by maths test in college entrance examination and the students' mathematical development.If so,high school students can be helped to improve comprehensively.Based on Biggs'view on classification,this thesis has divided the ability levels into four different thinking levels:single structure,diversified structure,relational structure,extended abstract structure,which in this thesis are respectively replaced by letters U,M,R and E.Then this thesis tries to figure out the proportions the scores of all thinking levels get(the total score of the maths test is 150 points),then compares them in terms of different years and modules.Meanwhile,this thesis labels each questions of the target samples with U,M,R and E,and endows respectively them 1 point,2 points,3 points and 4 points,in order to analyze the SOLO level correlation between these two sets of papers in 2010 and 2014.Through analysis,it can be concluded that(1)From 2010 to 2014,the E level and U level in the maths tests set by Jiangxi take a higher percentage than that in the national maths tests,which mainly shows in the function and algebra section;while percentages of M level and R level are higher in the national tests than that in Jiangxi tests,which mainly shows in probability and statistics,solid geometry and other areas.(2)From 2010 to 2015,based on the sum of the percentages the R level and E level in this two sorts of tests take,the number of Jiangxi papers is higher than that of national papers and the sum of level R and level E in all the 11 sets of tests takes an average percentage from 55 to 80,which accounts for more than half of the total score.(3)In the past few years,in general,national papers reflect the proposition of "conception of knowledge",while Jiangxi volume reflects the proposition "conception of ability",but the U level in Jiangxi papers has a higher score proportion,which probably is to balance the E level score proportion.(4)In recent years,from SOLO required by each test paper,the stability of national paper is better than that of Jiangxi paper,but SOLO levels required by each question on average are higher than Jiangxi paper and are close to level R.(5)On the basis of the changing tendency,questions for the U and R levels in the national paper in 2016,compared with that in 2015,will increase,questions for the level M will decrease and questions for the level E will remain unchanged.
