澳门PISA 2012报告显示,它是教育优质且公平的经济体,然而社经弱势学生要取得成功普遍较优势学生困难,教育公平的系统中可能存在不公平现象。本研究分别从澳门PISA 2012社经弱势和优势学生的评核数据,挖掘出区分弱势低表现生和弱势高表现生,以及区分优势低表现生和优势高表现生的重要学习因素。本研究的发现能够更好地了解澳门相对于其它数学素养高表现地区教育优质和公平的原因,同时也揭露了教育公平系统出现轻微不公平现象的症结所在。


Using Data Mining To Explore Factors That Distinguish Between Students With High And Low Mathematical Literacy Performance — An Example With Socio-Economically Disadvantaged And Advantaged Students In Macao, Wa Kit Sou, Kwok Cheung Cheung, Man Kai Ieong, Soi Kei Mak Dec 2021

Using Data Mining To Explore Factors That Distinguish Between Students With High And Low Mathematical Literacy Performance — An Example With Socio-Economically Disadvantaged And Advantaged Students In Macao, Wa Kit Sou, Kwok Cheung Cheung, Man Kai Ieong, Soi Kei Mak

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

Using Macao-PISA 2012 data collected from socio-economically disadvantaged and advantaged students, this study identified two sets of important learning factors that distinguished between low- and high-performing disadvantaged students, and between low- and high-performing advantaged students, respectively. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the reasons for Macao’s high-quality and equitable education as compared to other regions with high mathematical literacy performance while also revealing the crux of small inequities in its education system. The analysis method used in this paper provides a paradigm for data mining research using large-scale assessment data and helps researchers better grasp …


数学问题解决的行程问题测试与学生的解题策略分析: 混合项目反应理论模型, Chunlian Jiang, Do-Hong Kim, Chuang Wang Oct 2021

数学问题解决的行程问题测试与学生的解题策略分析: 混合项目反应理论模型, Chunlian Jiang, Do-Hong Kim, Chuang Wang

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

本研究使用混合项目反应理论(IRT)模型将六年级学生在数学问题解决的行程问题测试中的表现分为几个有着质的区别的群组。来自新加坡的345名学生和来自中国的361名学生参加了行程问题的测试。混合IRT分析表明存在两个潜在的组别,其中一组学生(我们称为代数熟手组)倾向于用传统的代数和算术策略去解决问题,而另一组学生(我们称为代数初学组)除了使用传统的代数和算术策略外,更倾向于运用模型化方法、单位元方法和猜测-检验方法等策略。本研究表明在小学数学教学中可以提倡使用多种不同的问题解决策略,小学高年级的数学教学需要帮助学生建立这些策略之间的联系,特别是它们和抽象的代数策略之间的联系,以便顺利过渡到代数的学习。


Analysis Of A Mathematical Problem-Solving Test On Speed And Students' Strategies: A Mixed Item Response Theory Approach, Chunlian Jiang, Do-Hong Kim, Chuang Wang Oct 2021

Analysis Of A Mathematical Problem-Solving Test On Speed And Students' Strategies: A Mixed Item Response Theory Approach, Chunlian Jiang, Do-Hong Kim, Chuang Wang

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

The present study used the mixed item response theory (IRT) model to identify qualitatively distinct subgroups of sixth-grade students with respect to their performance on word problems on speed. A total of 345 Singaporean students and 361 Chinese students took a problem-solving test on speed. The mixed IRT analysis revealed two latent classes — the algebra proficient group and the algebra novice group. The algebra proficient group was more likely to use traditional algebraic and arithmetic strategies to solve the problems, whereas the algebra novice group was more likely to use model drawing, unitary, and guess-and-check strategies, in addition to …
