眼动分析是阅读研究的一个重要领域,研究基于科学知识图谱分析软件CiteSpace III,对1995—2014年间Web of Science数据库中阅读眼动研究的973篇文献引文数据进行分析,通过考察其学科分布、高影响力和关键节点文献及热点研究课题,梳理阅读眼动研究近20年发展的整体脉络,在一定程度上厘清其知识结构,为未来研究提供一定启示。研究表明近20年阅读眼动研究进入高速发展阶段,且出现了多学科交叉合作研究的态势,同时,研究主要延续传统研究主题,即句子及句子以下层次的认知加工,眼动控制模型仍处于基础研究和应用研究的积累阶段,该时期未出现具有转折革新意义的文献或研究热点。
The present paper attempts to investigate into how candidates process the reading materials in the TEM4 reading component. A checklist was designed to elicit candidates' responses in this respect. The findings are illuminating in the sense that we are able to know more about the nature of reading in testing situations, about the relevant skills or strategies (both reading and test-wiseness ones), and about the validity of the TEM reading component.
Having examined the role, format and usefulness of test specifications in test development and evaluation, this paper sets out to investigate the significance of test specifications in the process of reading assessment. In order to exemplify how test specifications facilitate the operationalization of test construct and the development of items/tasks, this paper makes a close analysis of the new TEM4 reading test specifications. It is hoped that the discussion will throw light on how to translate construct into operational terms in test design and development.
