test method
Section 1, Overview of Psychological and Educational Testing
1. The meaning and characteristics of the test
meaning
A method of studying the laws of psychological and educational activities through psychological and educational tests, that is, using a set of standardized questions, following prescribed procedures, and collecting data through measurement methods. (Follow certain standards and procedures; measure people's behavior; measure part of people's behavior but not all)
scale
Category scale: name scale - classification
Ordinal scale: order by attribute
Isometric scale: A measurement of a behavioral or psychological characteristic using equally spaced points.
Ratio scale: measurable gaps and proportions
feature
Indirectness: The test reflects the explicit response rather than the implicit process, and psychological inferences are made based on the explicit response.
Relativity: The test results reflect individual differences in order and are compared with the majority of people or personal standards.
Objectivity: Psychological and educational phenomena exist objectively; the preparation, administration, and scoring of psychological and educational tests are strict.
2. Types of tests
by function
Ability test (actual ability and potential ability, general ability and special ability), academic achievement test (individual's mastery of knowledge and skills after formal education and training), personality test (character, temperament, interests, attitude, etc.)
by quiz
Individual test (the examiner measures each subject individually within a certain period of time), group test (the examiner measures multiple subjects at the same time within a certain period of time)
by test material
Text measurement (paper-and-pencil test, the test content is text materials and the subjects use text to answer), non-text test (operational test, the test content does not involve text and the subjects complete the test by hands-on operation)
According to test purpose
Descriptive tests (describing the abilities, personality and other characteristics of an individual or group), diagnostic tests (diagnosing certain behavioral problems of an individual or group), predictive tests (predicting an individual's future performance and level of achievement)
According to test requirements
Supreme Action Test (requiring subjects to give the best answers possible), Typical Action Test (testing people's typical behaviors or psychological characteristics in specific situations, with no right or wrong answers)
Use by test
Educational tests (student ability and personality tests conducted by education departments), vocational tests (used for personnel selection and placement in corporate departments), clinical tests (clinical diagnosis and consultation work)
3. Function of test
Basic functions: prediction, diagnosis
reflect
Selection: Scientifically select talents and improve the efficiency and accuracy of talent selection.
Placement: Provide a basis for teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and making the best use of their talents (schools, factories, etc.)
Diagnosis: Determining a person's strengths and weaknesses and finding reasons for behavioral changes
Consulting: Provide reference and guidance for various consulting work
4. Preparation and use of tests
prepared by
Develop a test preparation plan (purpose and purpose of measurement objects, two-way detailed list), compile and select test questions, test and analyze (500-1000, qualitative and quantitative analysis), arrange and tabulate (parallel linear/hybrid spiral), establish Norms (standardized interpretation of scores), identification tests (reliability and validity).
use
Notice
Make preparations; choose a suitable environment; proceed strictly; establish good interpersonal relationships with the subjects
5. Use of tests in research
1. Collect information
2. Establish and test hypotheses
3. Experimental grouping
Section 2: Commonly used psychological and educational tests in China
1. Ability test
China Binet Test
Compilation and development: 1905 - Binet-Simon Scale, 30 items, measuring children's intelligence; 1908, first revision, 59 items, mental age; 1911, second revision; 1916 - Stanford-Binet Scale (Tui Meng) , the first use of intelligence quotient; the S-B scale in 1960 had a total of 142 items and 20 development levels; the Binet-Simon test was introduced to our country in 1922, and the revision of the Chinese Binet-Simon test began in the 1920s, with Mr. Chen Zhiwei in 1924 The test was revised in 1934 and 1934; in 1982, Wu Tianmin revised the Chinese Binet Scale for the third time.
Content: 51 items including naming objects, identifying graphics, inferring situations, pointing out shortcomings, calculations, etc., divided into 4 categories: language and literature, number, problem solving and skills; suitable for urban and rural male and female infants, children and adults aged 2 to 18 years old.
Note for use: According to the age of the subject, check the starting point of the test in the appendix of the instruction book before taking the test. If you pass a question, one point will be scored. If you fail to pass five consecutive questions, the test will be stopped. Finally, the IQ will be found based on the score.
Wechsler intelligence scale
Revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-RC): In 1939, the American doctor Wechsler published the world's first scale to measure adult intelligence - the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, which was first revised in 1955 and second revised in 1981. . Content: 11 tests - 6 verbal scales and 5 operational scales, suitable for people over 16 years old. Domestic Webster: Since 1979, Mr. Gong Yao has led 56 units to complete the test, and it was completed in 1982; two sets of urban and rural norms were established respectively. Testing requirements: 11 tests must be completed at one time, and the original scores must be converted into IQ scores.
Wechsler Children's Intelligence Scale: Wechsler compiled the W-BI scale in 1949 and published the revised WAIS-R in 1974. The domestic Wechsler Children's Intelligence Scale was revised by Lin Chuanding, Zhang Houcan and others, and is suitable for urban and rural boys and girls aged 6 to 16 years old. Note: Adapt the order of presentation of test items to children's responses; try to eliminate children's fears and concerns; give children appropriate rest time.
China-Wechsler Infant Intelligence Scale (C-WYCSI-R): In 1967, Wechsler released the WPPSI (11 tests) suitable for children aged 4 to 6.5 years old. Mr. Gong Yao presided over the completion of the revision of the WPPSI, called C-WYCSI-R (including two sets of urban and rural scales, suitable for urban and rural children aged 4 to 6.5 years old in my country.
Raven's Test
Raven's Standard Reasoning Test: compiled by British psychologist Raven in 1938. This test is a non-verbal intelligence test that requires subjects to reason about the graphic relationships in the scale. my country's Zhang Houcan presided over the revision of the Raven Standard Reasoning Test (Chinese Urban Revised Edition) in 1986. The test consists of 60 questions in five series, mainly testing abstract reasoning abilities such as perceptual discrimination, graphic comparison, graphic combination, integration, and interchange. Suitable for both toddlers and adults.
Raven Test - Combined Type (CRT): In 1947, Raven also compiled the Color Reasoning Test and the Advanced Reasoning Test suitable for people with low mental age and high mental age respectively. In 1988, Professor Li Dan presided over the revision of the Raven Test, combining the standard type and the color type, which was called CRT. The CRT consists of the Raven Color Type (three series) and the last three series of the Standard Reasoning Test, with a total of 72 questions. It is suitable for people aged 5 to 75, and urban norms and rural norms have been established.
2. Personality test
Eysenck Personality Questionnaire EPQ
Eysenck published the questionnaire for the first time in 1952, and subsequently revised it three times in 1959, 1964, and 1975. This scale is a self-report scale, divided into adult version and adolescent version, with a total of four dimensions (introversion and extraversion E, emotional stability N, abnormal personality P and validity L). Mr. Liu Xiehe first introduced this scale to the China, later revised by Mr. Gong Yao, Chen Zhonggeng and others. The final Chinese Eysenck questionnaire has 85 questions. The adult questionnaire is suitable for people over 16 years old, and the youth questionnaire is suitable for teenagers aged 7 to 15 years old.
Cattell 16-Item Personality Factor Scale (16PF)
The English version of the questionnaire has three copies, A, B, and C, which were published successively from 1956 to 1957. Each copy has 187 questions, and each personality factor consists of 10 to 13 test questions. This scale can not only clearly describe 16 basic personality characteristics, but also infer dimensional factors that can describe personality types and personality factors of mentally healthy people. The current domestic version is mainly the revised version of the Liaoning Provincial Research Institute in 1981; the national norm was revised in 1988, and there are currently six norms for adults, college students, and middle school students.
Minnesota Multiple Personality Inventory MMPI
The scale was compiled by Hathaway and McKinley in the United States in the early 1940s. The scale has a total of 566 questions, 10 clinical scales (Hs, O, Hy, Pd, Mf, Pa, Pt, Sc, Ma, Si); four validity scales (L, F, K,?) . This questionnaire is suitable for subjects over 16 years old and has two methods: template scoring and computer scoring.
3. Other tests
Edwards Personal Preference Scale EPPS
1953. This scale has a total of 225 questions. It is a forced choice test and mainly tests 15 needs such as achievement and compliance.
Self-rating mental health scale SCL-90
90 questions, 10 factors, five-level scoring.
Section 3, new developments in testing—the development of item reflection theory
1. The meaning and characteristics of item response theory
Meaning: Also known as characteristic curve theory or latent trait theory, it points out the relationship between certain characteristics of an individual and the probability of a certain response type of the individual. Study the relationship between subjects' underlying traits and their responses to items. Latent traits refer to a relatively stable intrinsic trait of the subject that governs its response to the corresponding test and makes the response consistent.
Features: 1. The measurement indicators are linked to the subject’s potential traits; 2. Use mathematical functions to determine the item trait parameters (item identification parameter ai, difficulty parameter bi, guessing parameter ci); 3. Calculate the measured value through the item information function Reliability and standard errors; 4. Analyze at the item level.
2. Basic assumptions
1. Know-Correct Hypothesis: If the subject knows the correct answer to the test question, he will make a correct response or answer. On the contrary, if the subject makes a wrong response or answer, we can assume that 2 the subject does not know the correct answer.
2. Local independence: The probability of a subject's correct response to a certain question has nothing to do with the response to other questions, that is, only potential traits affect the response to the item.
3. Regarding the dimensions of the latent feature space: With the help of a certain mathematical model (normal distribution), a certain functional relationship is established between the measured data and the characteristics of the subject to determine the characteristics and other trait values.
4. The form of the project characteristic curve: the image of the corresponding functional relationship. Assumptions: the upper asymptote of the curve, the upper asymptote, and the rising and falling line.
3. Model and Application
Model: normal O'Keefe model with two parameters, logistic model with two parameters, logistic model with three parameters, logistic model with single parameter.
Application: Item analysis in tests, design of performance evaluation scales, attitude questionnaire design, examination reform, etc.
Section 4, Assessment by Test Method
1. Advantages
1. The scale is very rigorously compiled, and the results are accurate and reliable; 2. It has a high degree of quantification, is easy to control when administering the test, and is easy to process the results; 3. It is convenient and labor-saving (ready-made measurements are available, and can be studied on a large scale); 4. It has a well-established The norm can be directly compared and studied; 5. There are many types of research and can be adapted to the needs of different research purposes.
2. Disadvantages
1. It is difficult to conduct qualitative analysis; 2. It is difficult to reveal the variable relationship between cause and effect, and the flexibility of use is poor; 3. It has high requirements for researchers; 4. It is difficult to eliminate the interference of some non-human factors.
3. Analysis of problems existing in the current use of tests
1. Some test preparations are unscientific; 2. The distribution is not strictly controlled and test questions should not be made public; 3. Some test users lack professional training, etc.
