A Comparative Study Of Math Academic Proficiency Test Papers Between Shanghai And Taiwan

Academic proficiency test is a standard to measure the academic quality of high school students.In 2014,the state council reformed the college entrance examination system.The Academic proficiency test has become an important basis for college enrollment and its status has been significantly improved.Since the implementation of the multi-university entrance scheme in 2002,Taiwan is more experienced in the compilation of academic proficiency test papers.Therefore,the research which is did by author on the academic proficiency test papers of the two sides before the curriculum reform,which is conducive to the complementary advantages of the two sides,which can provide reference for the reform of the academic level examination in the future and provide certain reference value for teachers’ teaching.The author regarded the academic proficiency test papers of Shanghai and Taiwan from 2013 to 2017 as the research object.First of all,the author reviewed the literature of mathematics Academic proficiency test and determined the research framework of this paper.Secondly,the author makes a comparative study on the structure dimension and content dimension of the academic proficiency test papers of Shanghai and Taiwan.The structural dimension is expanded from several aspects,such as question type,score;Content dimensions includes several aspects,such as the knowledge distribution,the comprehensive difficulty of the test,mathematical thinking methods,the core literacy.The following conclusions are drawn:1.In terms of questions type and scores,the Shanghai exam has more questions than the Taiwan exam,but the exam time is shorter,In terms of question type setting,Taiwan has added multiple-choice questions than Shanghai,but there are no response question,and the multiple-choice of the Taiwan has one more choice than Shanghai.2.In terms of knowledge distribution,there are also differences between the knowledge the Shanghai and Taiwan Academic proficiency test examine.Taiwan has a wider range of examination in the module of Function and derivative.However,theShanghai exam is more difficult than Taiwan in trigonometric function,The Taiwan exam focuses on the statistics and probability module,while the Shanghai exam focuses less on the statistical probability module.3.In the comprehensive difficulty of the test,the questions which belong to the "memorization" level of the "inquiry" dimension in Shanghai is more than in Taiwan.In Taiwan,there are more questions which belongs to the "comprehension" level.The Academic proficiency test questions in Taiwan pay more attention to the realistic background of knowledge.The test paper of Shanghai and Taiwan also focus on the computing ability.there makes no differces in the knowledge which the Shanghai and Taiwan examined.4.In terms of mathematical thought and methods,the Shanghai’s examination paper pays more attention to the examinations of the transformation and symbolic-graphic combination method.5.In terms of core literacy,the Shanghai examination paper lay emphasis on the examination of students’ mathematical abstract literacy and mathematical operation literacy.The Taiwan school examination paper instead pays more attention to the examination of students’ mathematical modeling literacy and data analysis literacy.Eventually,according to the conclusion of the research,the author puts forward some Suggestions on the compilation of test questions and teachers’ teaching.
