| Susan has got a new house. Nelly
The house is two hundred years old. There is a sea in front of the house. In winter there are flowers everywhere. Susan has an idea to have a birthday party in the house. A ghost visits the garden at night. Nelly's mother saw a ghost in the bedroom. LECTURE 15. TESTING AND EVALUATING LEARNERS ACHIEVEMENTS. Plan: 1. Signs of Hope in Language Testing 2. Intrinsically Motivating Language Tests 3. Some practical steps to take in constructing classroom tests. Signs of Hope in Language Testing 1. New views on intelligence Intelligence was once viewed strictly as the ability to perform (a) linguistic and (b) logical mathematical problem solving. This "IQ" concept of intelligence has permeated the Western world and its way of testing. Since "smartness" in genera] is measured by timed, discrete point tests consisting of hundreds of little items, then why shouldn't every field of study be so measured? So, today we live in a world of standardized, norm-referenced tests that are: • timed • multiple choice • tricky • long • artificial However, new research on intelligence by psychologists like Howard Gardner and Robert Sternberg are turning the psychometric world upside down. Gardner (1983), for example, extends the traditional view of intelligence to seven different components. He accepts the traditional conceptualizations of intelligence on which standardized IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tests are based, that is: (1) linguistic intelligence (2) logical-mathematical intelligence But he adds five other "frames of mind" to round out his theory of intelligence: (3) spatial intelligence (the ability to find your way around an environment, to form mental images of reality) (4) musical intelligence (the ability to perceive and create pitch and rhythmic patterns) (5) bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (fine motor movement, athletic prowess) (6) interpersonal intelligence (the ability to understand others, how they feel, and to interact effectively with them) (7) intrapersonal intelligence (the ability to understand oneself and to develop a sense of self-identity) Robert Sternberg (1988) is also charting new territory in intelligence research in recognizing people's creative thinking and manipulative strategies as part of intelligence. All "smart" people aren't necessarily adept at fast, reactive thinking. They may be very innovative in being able to think beyond the normal limits imposed by existing tests, and may need a good deal of processing time to enact this creativity. And other forms of smartness are found in those who know how to manipulate their environment, especially people in their environment. Debaters, politicians, successful salespersons, "smooth" talkers, and con artists are all smart in their own manipulative way. These new conceptualizations of intelligence give us both freedom and responsibility in our testing agenda. жүктеу/скачать 1,59 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
