| | | | | 初探TEM8考试人文知识项目的标准参照属性 | | | 邹申 | | | 从2005年起全国高校英语专业8级考试(TEM8)增加了人文知识项目。该项目旨在考查学生英语专业基本知识的掌握程度。依据标准参照考试效度验证框架,本文检验:1)人文知识项目的内容关联性和内容覆盖面;2)该项目预期目标达到程度;3)该项目的标准参照统计属性,以及4)该项目对相关教学及课程设置的预期推动作用。本研究结合内容分析和统计手段,分析了人文知识项目的测试范畴、内容、潜在变量等,以论证该项目的标准参照属性。研究结果表明,人文知识项目的测试范畴、内容和题目基本符合英语专业教学大纲要求,初步具备标准参照考试的特征。但是,我们仍需深入研究人文知识项目的效度特征。
