Analysis And Enlightenment Of PISA Mathematics Literacy Test Questions

PISA(Program for International Student Assessment,PISA for short)is an international assessment program developed and implemented by OECD(The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,OECD for short).Based on the concept of lifelong learning,the aim of PISA assessment is to determine the extent to which students who are about to complete compulsory education have acquired the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of future life ? PISA mathematics literacy assessment is an important part of PISA.Advanced evaluation concept,scientific assessment framework and reasonable test design of PISA provide great enlightenment and guidance for the evaluation of mathematics education in China.Therefore,based on the PISA mathematical literacy assessment,The paper takes the test questions as an entry point,studies the characteristics of the PISA mathematics test questions and its enlightenment to the compilation of mathematics test questions in China.It is divided into three parts: First,according to the collection and collation of the literature,the paper analyzes the framework and organizational structure of PISA mathematical literacy assessment,understands the dimension of assessment,dissects the characteristics of PISA mathematics test from the overall distribution and specific compilation of the test questions;Second,the paper counts number of the test questions in each dimension,analyzes their distribution characteristics,selects some sample questions for further analysis according to the assessment framework and summarizes the characteristics of content and form of PISA mathematics test questions;Finally,with Shanghai test as example,the paper analyzes the deficiencies of mathematics test questions,propose the enlightenment of the Shanghai mathematics test questions based on the characteristics of the PISA test questions,and select two questions examples for adaptation and design.The main conclusions of the study are as follows:1.PISA mainly measures students’ mathematical literacy from three dimensions:situation,content and process.Each dimension has different categories and rich connotations.PISA puts forward a scientific and reasonable evaluation framework.2.PISA test questions embodies the three dimensions very well.In terms of overall distribution,the three dimensions have obvious characteristics in all aspects of the test,reflecting the internal connection between the various dimensions.inconnection to the content of test questions,the situation is innovative,abundant and authentic;the content is comprehensive and it involves less calculation procedures;in the process,the abilities in test are comprehensive and hierarchical;with respect to the question presentations,the test questions are illustrated and diverse.3.The PISA mathematics literacy assessment provides the following inspirations for the mathematics academic proficiency test in China: Selecting materials carefully,highlight the detection of problem situations;integrating the knowledge,emphasize the connection of mathematical content;paying attention to the process,stress the development of thinking ability;reforming the type of questions,increase the proportion of Open Constructed Response.
