Characteristics of School Science Assessment: Objectives of Science Education, Question Types, and Degree of Difficulty

The purpose of this study was to understand the characteristics of school science assessment by analyzing the written tests of science in middle school 7th grade. The written tests were analyzed according to the objectives of science education, such as behavior and contents area, question types, and the degree of difficulty. The written tests were analyzed according to the objectives of science education, such as behavior and contents area, question types, and the degree of difficulty. A total of 645 test items from 10 middle schools were analyzed for this study. It was shown that, when the distribution of behavioral objectives was considered, the items emphasized knowledge and comprehension, and were scientific knowledge oriented. The tests consisted of multiple choice questions at a relatively high rate, compared to short answer questions. Comparing the rate of teachers expectations to the degree of difficulty, the ratio of top was low and that of medium was high. The results of this study suggested that using various types of question and multiple levels of content and behavior enabled more effective evaluation of the diverse thinking powers and learning of the students.
