Mathematics education evaluation is a summary of mathematics course learning,an important way to test students' mastery and application of basic mathematics knowledge and skills,a feedback to mathematics course teaching,and a significant influence on the direction of curriculum and teaching reform.In our country,the Senior high school entrance examination is the most important exam compulsory education stage in our country,along with the continuous renewal of education evaluation concept development and the continuous deepening of the reform of course teaching,examination of the math exam evaluation gradually from the previous evaluation,the results into the focus of mathematics learning process,focus on their feedbacks on students learning,teachers teaching.The aim of this study is based on the research of the mathematical evaluation at home and abroad through examination mathematics education evaluation and teaching reform.PISA and TIMSS are the most influential tests in the world at present.They present unique,novel and cutting-edse characteristics in terms of evaluation concept,framework and test questions.PISA mathematical assessment aims to test whether students are ready to meet challenges in their future life and work in mathematics skills,and to evaluate their ability to solve real-world problems with mathematics.TIMSS mathematical assessment is the study of the country or region participating students in mathematics learning achievenent tendency,understand the cultural background of the participating countries or regions,the influence of the education system to student's mathematics academic achievement,participated in countries or regions in the mathematics curriculum content to assessment framework,in the frame of the assessment analysis of participating countries or regions on the implementation of mathematics curriculum.In this study,the concept,framework and test questions of mathematics test in Shanghai senior high school entrance examination and two international assessments were compared and analyzed,and the reform direction of mathematics assessment in senior high school entrance examination was grasped on the basis of grasping the new trend of international mathematics assessment,and some suggestions were put forward for the reform of mathematics in senior high school entrance examination.Combined with qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis,this study firstly makes a comparative analysis of the mathematical assessment in Shanghai 2018 high school entrance examination and the assessment concept and framework of PISA 2012 and TIMSS 2011 mathematical assessment,and summarizes the similarities and differences.The conclusions are as follows:(1)The three mathematical tests all attach importance to the examination of quantity,figure and geometry,probability and statistics,but the proportion is different;(2)There is a strong correspondence between the mathematics assessment of Shanghai senior high school entrance examination and PISA and TIMSS mathematical assessment at the cognitive level;(3)The Shanghai senior high school mathematics test and TIMSS mathematics test questions have a low dependence on the situation,while the PISA mathematics test questions blend with the situation(4)Most of the mathematics test questions in Shanghai senior high school entrance examination and TIMSS mathematics test are closed questions,while nearly one-third of the PISA mathematics test questions are open questions.Secondly,in order to more specifically study the similarities and differences between the math test in Shanghai senior high school entrance examination and PISA and TIMSS math test,SEC analysis mode is used to classify the questions in the three math tests and analyze the consistency level of the three math tests in the two dimensions of content and cognition.The consistency level between mathematics in Shanghai 2018 high school entrance examination and PISA2012 mathematics and TIMSS2011 mathematics is lower in content dimension,among which the consistency level between mathematics in Shanghai 2018 high school entrance examination and PISA2012 mathematics is lower.In the cognitive dimension,the consistency level of mathematics in Shanghai 2018 middle school entrance examination is relatively good with PISA2012 mathematics and TIMSS2011 mathematics.On the basis of analyzing and summarizing the similarities and differences of the three mathematical tests,some Suggestions are put forward for the refonn of mathematics in the middle school entrance examination:(1)stick to the examination direction of mathematical knowledge and ability,strengthen the examination strength of probability and statistics;(2)reasonable distribution proportion,promote the rationalization and equalization of mathematical knowledge structure in the middle school entrance examination;(3)the test questions should be based on the real situation,strengthen the dependence of the test questions and the situation.(4)set open test questions to present students' mathematical thinking level from multiple perspectives.
