Targeting The Three Dimensions On The Basis Of Texts: Comparative Study On NMCT Reading Test Of Contemporary Articles

With the arrival of the new-round curriculum reform, reading teaching reform and practice appears to be full of vigor and vitality. However, NMCT reading test, the final key link of reading instruction in high school, remains little change. The research and exploration on NMCT reading test of contemporary articles seems to be quite limited. The contradiction between lagging of reading examination questions reform and new curriculum reform of Chinese is increasingly apparent, which has become the bottleneck to Chinese teaching.We have found the following issues existing mainly through careful analysis on the developing track of NMCT reforms of contemporary articles tests: 1. anti-text mistake in designing questions and non-Chinese disturbance; 2. lack of multi-intelligence understanding and clear-up of three- dimensional target.Post-contemporary outlook of knowledge enlightens us that the three dimensions (knowledge and competence; process and method; affection & attitude and outlook on value) are not independently separate systems, they are interdependent and integrated just like an organic unity. The raise of this concept indicates the way that reading instruction and testing reform should go: First of all, guiding thoughts of question-setting approach should move from knowledge and ability to Chinese literacy and stick to synthetic check and rate from three dimensions. Secondly, reading examination questions should base on text, and should be concise.This thesis explicitly analyzes what mistakes should be avoided attentively when examination questions are targeting " three-dimensional integration". Some question-setting enlightenments are obtained via relative study on reading examination questions in foreign and other Chinese-speaking countries and regions, together with reference on Shanghai successful experience.Finally, the author puts forward some reform assumptions, selects and compiles some examination questions, with an aim to explore practically the reading test innovation of NMCT contemporary articles.
