A Study Of The Originality Characteristics Of Chemistry Test Questions In High School Entrance Examination

The level of originality of high school entrance examination is the key to reflecting educational equity,improving the quality of test questions,guiding teachers to change their teaching methods,and developing students’ innovative abilities.This study took the high school examination questions of 25 cities in the middle,west and east in 2021 as the research object.Through comparative analysis,the originality of high school entrance examination questions was explored,in order to give suggestions to teachers who participated in the proposition work on the preparation of test questions.This study constructed an originality level analysis framework to assess the questions in the selected sample.In addition,two places with higher originality level were selected to explore the longitudinal changes of their originality levels within five years.Based on the horizontal analysis results of the originality level,a brief analysis was made on the way of adapted questions in high school entrance examination.Finally,the focus was on exploring the various features and levels of original questions and making relevant propositions for different material types of test questions.The main conclusions of the study were as follows:The average originality level: the average originality level of the chemistry test questions in the senior high school entrance examination in most areas was similar,the proportion of adapted questions was relatively large,and the proportion of original questions was not high.Some areas had a high percentage of optional questions;the level of originality of the non-select questions is higher than that of the select questions;the overall originality level of the questions in the eastern region was slightly higher than that in the central and western regions.The overall level of the two places in the longitudinal analysis had shown an upward trend in recent years,and there was a tendency to reduce the proportion of optional questions and increase the proportion of original questions.However,in the adaptation of test questions,the proportion of low-level adaptation was large.The types of adaptated questions: The adaptation form of some question types was relatively fixed,and the examination mode of some knowledge points was relatively fixed.The characteristics of original questions: the types of materials were relatively rich,and the original questions of each type of material have their own characteristics;the presentation form of the test questions was relatively simple,and the text description and chemical terms were used more;the complexity level of information processing was also mostly in the information transform.
