高中職學生升學考試國文選擇題與寫作成績相關性之比較及其意涵探討

The Comparison of The Correlation Between The Performance of Multiple-Choice-Question Test in Chinese Literature and Chinese Composition Writing of Senior-High- and Vocational-High-School Students in Higher-Education Entrance Examination and Its Implication

本研究以中部一所兼辦綜合高中與高職學制的大型後期中等學校100 學年度參加升學考詴之高三學生為研究樣本，詴圖探索這兩種學制學生分別在學測與統測升學考詴中，其國文選擇題成績與寫作成績之相關性、相關差異程度、以及此一差異性之意涵為何。該校100 學年度三年級生就讀於高職學制有584人、高中學制120 人，資料來源為這些學生參加當年度統測與學測之國文成績。
研究結果發現：（一）該校統測及學測國文選擇題及寫作成績分布型態皆為負偏態，無雙峰分布；（二）對於寫作成績而言，性別也是一個顯著的預測變項，不論是學測或統測，女同學的寫作成績皆顯著的高於男同學，其中，高職男女同學寫作能力的差異更甚於高中男女生的差異；（三）不論是否控制性別變項，參加學測學生其國文選擇題成績可解釋寫作成績變異量的程度皆大於參加統測學生國文選擇題成績可以解釋寫作成績變異量之程度；（四）統測選擇題與寫作成績之相關性低於學測兩種成績的相關性應與兩種國文考詴選擇題所屬之認知領域層次有關，前者選擇題多屬於知識與理解層次、後者選擇題則多屬於應用與分析推理層次，而分析推理能力則為寫作要件之一，因此學測選擇題可以解釋寫作成績的能力要遠高於統測成績。
根據上述研究結論，本研究最後提出幾項建議供學校、教師與相關研究人員參考。

This study, sampled from the 12th-graders who participated in the 100th-school-year higher-education entrance examination while studying at a large postsecondary school running both vocational as well as academic high school programs in middle Taiwan, is an attempt to explore the meaning of the correlations of test scores between multiple-choice questions and writing of the Chinese Subject in the TVEJCEE(TVE Joint College Entrance Examination) and GSAT(General Scholastic Ability Test) and its implications for the discrepancy of the correstion cofficients between these two types of the Chinese Subject tests. In the 100th school year, there are 584 12th-grade students studying in the school's vocational programs, and 120 students studying in the academic high school track. The data source was collected from those study subjects' Chinese test scores in TVEJCEE and GSAT in the corresponding year.
The research findings are as follows:
1. They show a negative, skewed distribution of students' performance in Chinese Subject in both multiple-choice-question test and writing test in the two types of college-entrance exams. The Bimodal distribution was not found in any types of testing score.
2. Whether the gender variable is controlled or not, for those academic students who took GSAT's Chinese Subject test, their performance in multiple-choice-question test explains the writing score' variance much more than their counterparts performance in TVEJCEE.
3. Regarding the performance of Chinese writing, gender is a significant predictor. No matter in GSAT or TVEJCEE, the female students' scores in composition writing significantly outperformed the male students. The discrepancy of writing ability between the male and female students from the vocational program is greater than that of those students' scores from the academic high school program.
4. The correlation of the performance of the multiple-choice questions and writing in TVEJCEE is lower than the correlation in GSAT, which could be relevant to the cognitive-domain level of the multiple-choice questions in the Chinese tests of the two exams. The multiple-choice questions in TVEJCEE mainly belong to the knowledge and comprehension levels while the multiple-choice questions in GSAT majorly belong to application, analysis and analogy domain levels. Moreover, analysis ability is essential to the writing; therefore, the multiple-choice questions in GSAT are far more capable of explaining the variances of writing performance than that of in TVEJCEE.
On the basis of the above findings, the study proposes five suggestions for both types of high school programs' administors, instructors teaching Chinese Subject, and researchers who may be interesting in these issues.
