With the gradual formation of the internationalization of education,the exchanges and cooperation between countries in the field of examinations have become more frequent.Although China's college entrance examination system has been very perfect,how to make our examinations more efficient and high quality to select qualified personnel for the development of the country,we need to further learn from developed countries.In this context,domestic and foreign examinations have become a hot topic for educators.The SAT ? subject test,which has long been one of the important references for college admissions in the United States,can be regarded as the college entrance examination in the United States.The SAT ? exam has long received widespread international recognition.From the existing literature,it can be seen that there are more overall introductions of the SAT test in the United States and abroad,but less research on the SAT ? physics subject test,and it stays at a shallow level of analysis,lacking in-depth research on the test questions,which makes it difficult Form a real reference for the national test questions.Therefore,this article will mainly focus on the physics test questions of the Chinese college entrance examination and the American SAT ? physics test questions in terms of difficulty,examination knowledge,content depth,etc.,through qualitative and quantitative comparison and combing,compare the differences between the two,and analyze their respective advantages And defects,as well as the role in the selection of talents,so as to truly provide some valuable reference to the reform of college entrance examination questions,teacher teaching,student preparation and so on.This article is based on educational measurement theory and examination evaluation theory,and uses the comprehensive difficulty model as a measurement difficulty tool for the comparative study of physics test questions in the Chinese and American college entrance examinations.Specifically: First of all,this article makes it difficult and consistent for the Chinese and American college entrance examination physics test questions from the five dimensions of "knowledge content","background factor","inference ability","computationlevel" and "investigation level" in the past five years.Analysis;Secondly,according to the knowledge system of physics,in accordance with various parts of mechanics,thermals,electromagnetic,optics,modern physics,the knowledge points,depth and breadth of the content of the National Volume I and SAT ? test questions,and the ideas of the questions Digging deeper;verifying the conclusions of theoretical analysis through questionnaire tests and interviews.According to the research,it is found that: First,first,in terms of difficulty,the national volume I is more difficult than the SAT ? in five dimensions,especially in terms of computing level and knowledge content.Specifically:In terms of knowledge,SAT ? mainly tests students 'grasp of basic knowledge;National Volume I mainly tests students' comprehensive ability to use knowledge flexibly.In terms of background factors,they are mainly direct situations.Relatively speaking,the situation setting of National Volume I pays more attention to the scientific inquiry thinking of students.In terms of reasoning skills,students need to pass a series of logical thinking to solve the National Volume I questions;and two to three steps of reasoning can solve the complex problems of SAT ?,with lower requirements.At the level of calculation,simple calculations using basic formulas can solve most of the SAT ? problems;most of the problems in National Volume I require complex calculations,and there are certain requirements for students' logical operation ability.At the level of inquiry,National Volume I has higher requirements for students 'thinking ability than SAT ?,and attaches importance to students' creative development.And in the past five years,the requirements for the reasoning ability of the National Volume I questions have increased year by year,while the difficulty of the SAT ? questions in five dimensions has remained stable.Then,we secondly studied the differences between China's college entrance examination and SAT ? in terms of knowledge points.SAT ? topics have a broader range of knowledge examination and focus on the foundation.Especially in terms of optics and modern physics,the difference is more significant.It pays more attention to the systemicity of the knowledge system than the national volume I.It attaches importance to the basic knowledge that is closely related to daily life and has strong applicability.Based on the previous research,we think that referring to the content of the SAT ? exam can expand the scope of students' cognition of physics and improve their understanding of basic physics knowledge.Therefore,referring to the SAT ? test mode,the teaching methods and teaching of exercise classes The content has been improved,such as the way of reviewing knowledge,the choice of practice questions,and the difficulty setting,etc.The teaching practice has achieved good teaching results.Through the research of this thesis,specific suggestions are made on the reform of the college entrance examination method,the preparation of topic content,and the positioning of realistic teaching.The research results also provide a certain reference for the future research of test questions at home and abroad.
