Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a measurement tool for diagnosing students’ academic abilities, a test does not have sufficiently high resolution to estimate a student’s ability on a continuous minute scale, such as a scale of 0-100. A test can estimate a student’s ability on 5 to, at best, 20 grades. Latent rank theory (LRT) is a statistical measurement model for standardizing a test by evaluating students’ abilities on an ordinal ability scale. Using LRT, we can explore the resolution (the optimal number of ability grades) of a given test. The purpose of this study was to thoroughly investigate the tests of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations and to establish an LRT-based database. We found that the resolution of each subject was stable over the investigated four years (2009-2012) but varied depending on the categories of the subjects. In general, the language tests and some of the science tests had high resolution; however, the history and civics tests had low resolution.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

テストは1点刻みで学力を評価するほどの解像度はない。例えば、α係数などの信頼性係数を計算すると、テストデータで0.9を超えることはほとんどない。つまり、テストが測定しているものの内、10%は測定誤差である。しかし、そのような科学的、学術的知見が巷間で認識されているとはいえず、テストでは1点でも高くとるような指導がされている。
ただし、選抜場面では、テストを1点刻みで評価することは、テストを道具として見たとき有用である。しかし、診断場面では必ずしも1点刻みの評価が有用であるとは言えず、段階的な評価をするくらいで十分なことが多い。本研究では、テストが何段階で評価することができるかを調べている。
