Abstract
本研究使用修正版之布魯姆分類認知分類來分析2011年至2013年之國中基本學力測驗與2014年至2016年之國中教育會考中之英語閱讀測驗題目的認知分類,探討當中認知分類出現之頻率與考生答題之表現。
研究結果摘要如下:
布魯姆認知類型中,「記憶」、「理解」、「應用」與「分析」在基測與會考中最常出現,「評鑑」與「創造」則不曾出現,原因可能為評鑑與創造不易以選擇題呈現。其中「理解」占大多數之試題,且通常屬於簡單之題型。大部分屬於理解之題型的難易程度為簡單到中間程度,但仍有少數為困難。「應用」與「分析」之試題數目被限制在一定範圍內,且多數試題難易度為困難,但仍有例外。近六年以來,上述二類試題數量總計占所有題目數量的10.5% 到36%,當中多數題目屬於困難程度,少數為簡易。相較於基測,會考中「應用」的試題題數大幅增加。這證明了「應用」試題日益重要,也呼應了會考試題與學生生活相關且能活化學習之精神。同樣的,相較於基測,會考包含更多屬於「應用」與「分析」之試題。這也顯示會考涵蓋了更多屬於高層次認知之題型。
本研究結果建議教師可設計更多較有挑戰性之「理解」試題與較簡易之「應用」與「分析」試題,以協助學生因應會考。
This research aimed to analyze the cognitive categories in Bloom’s revised taxonomy on the English reading comprehension test items on BCT (Basic Competence Test) and CAP (Comprehensive Assessment Program) for junior high school students from 2011 to 2016, and to explore examinees’ performance on each cognitive level. The major results are as follows: The study found that Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze appeared in both exams. Evaluate and Create didn’t appear. The reason may be that Evaluate and Create weren’t easily measured in multiple choices. Items of Understand were the majority and they tended to be easy or average in difficulty. Only a few of them were difficult. However, as for items of Apply and Analyze combined, though they only accounted for 20% of test items, they tended to be difficult. When items on the two exams were compared, it was found that items of Apply increased at a faster speed in CAP than in BCT, which indicated its rising importance and this matched CAP’s goal of relating to students’ living experiences and activating their learning. Also, CAP tended to contain more items of Apply and Analyze, which showed that CAP included more items of higher cognitive levels than BCT did. It is suggested that teachers can design more difficult items of Understand and easy items of Apply and Analyze for students to prepare for CAP in the future.
