Outline of Final Research Achievements

If it showed logical reason to the correct answer, whatever the solving strategy in math extended constructed response questions, the same evaluation (test score) is given. However, in the scoring process, even in the case of does not lead to the correct answer or wrong answer, it is a known fact that there is a solution that deserves assessing the mathematical thinking, decision making, problem-solving skills. Therefore, in this study, by focusing to the solving strategy aims to explore a new assessment scale that is different from the "score", we have re-analyzed the answers of math extended constructed response questions for each solving strategy. As a result, significant difference was hardly observed between the solving strategies and correct rate. In addition, we tried to confirm the relationship between solving strategies and "test score". We were able to observe problems that may answer strategies than or correct or incorrect answer is evaluated mathematical skills.
