Research On The Unit Test Construction In High School Mathematics From The Perspective Of Core Literacy

The cultivation of core literacy is an important initiative to implement the fundamental task of moral education.Instructional evaluation is an important part of teaching,therefore,how to evaluate the level of core literacy,explore the construction of core literacy evaluation system and implement it into daily teaching has received attentions and researches from scholars.This thesis takes the construction of the unit tests as a carrier,combines the theories of mathematical core literacy and educational evaluation.It uses literature research method,questionnaire survey method and empirical research method to construct a framework for the preparation of high school mathematics unit test papers,improve the quality of unit tests and incorporate the consideration of core literacy into daily teaching evaluation.Through the study,the following research results were obtained in this thesis.(a)This study used a questionnaire to investigate the current situation of preparing high school mathematics unit test papers in a district in Fujian.It was found that 80% of the respondents were familiar with the theoretical knowledge that related to the preparation of unit test papers,and more than 85% of the respondents were familiar with the requirements of the General High School Mathematics Curriculum Standards(2017Edition)and related teaching contents before preparing unit test papers;while only63.24% of the respondents would prepare a two-way itemized list in the preparation sequence.In addition,respondents considered the most important basis for preparing unit test papers was the textbook(89.71%)and the Curriculum Standards(81.37%);in the process of preparing test papers,the difficulty of test papers could not be easily controlled,and the lack of questioning skills were the difficulties perceived by teachers.(b)Based on the results of the questionnaire survey and Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives,this study adopted the three levels of core literacy of Yu Ping,namely "knowledge and skills level,problem solving level,and comprehensive development level",and designed a multi-dimensional,two-way breakdown of "the test content × the test objectives × the core literacy × the question type × the difficulty level".The multi-dimensional two-way itemized list is designed to build a framework for the preparation of high school mathematics unit test papers.The framework in the first place clarifies the role and characteristics of unit tests.Secondly,it proposes eight basic principles for the preparation of unit test papers,including the principles of scientificity,contextuality and timely feedback.Finally,it proposes a process for the preparation of unit test papers that includes the construction of a multidimensional two-way itemized table.(c)Combined with the theories in the prior work,we applied the framework for preparing unit test papers constructed in the previous paper and prepared a set of unit test papers.Firstly,we elaborated the preparation process of the unit test paper of "Exponential and Logarithmic Functions" in Compulsory A of the Human Education version of high school from the steps of sorting out the chapter knowledge framework and constructing the multidimensional two-way item table and so on.Secondly,the results of the unit test were evaluated and analyzed in terms of quality.The difficulty coefficient of the test paper was calculated to be 0.643,which has good reliability and validity,indicating that the test paper is moderately difficult,and the test can reflect students’ real level more effectively according to the expected results.Finally,some relevant teaching suggestions were proposed based on the results of the answer analysis.
