고등학교 유형별 성취평가제를 활용한 학생평정 결과의 특징 분석

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of grades awarded for achievement standard-based assessment (ASA), with a focus on the autonomous public high school, the independent private school and a foreign language high school in Seoul. To achieve this, standard achievement levels, converted standard scores and converted ranking levels were scrutinized in the cohort of first-grade students of different types of high school. Major findings showed that the ratio of grades A～B awarded was higher than the ratio of grades C and below awarded in all school types. However, the results indicated a marked contrast in the ratio of A grades awarded. The ratio of A grades awarded in foreign language high schools was much higher than in the two other types of high schools. Concerning the converted standard scores from the same standard achievement level range, both types of school and subjects had a considerable influence on standard scores. Similarly, the magnitude of achievement level largely determined the converted ranking level. On the basis of the results, this study underlined the need for enhancing the content and degree of students' assessment information and systematically monitoring the quality of achievement grading. Additionally, it would be necessary to provide clearer guidance on when to apply either fixed or school-based cut-off scores.
