중학교 영어교과 성취평가 실태 분석

This study examines the current state of Achievement Standards-based Assessment (ASA) implementation in middle schools, in the domain of English language subject. For this purpose, the study analyzed the average and standard deviation of raw scores and the distribution of achievement levels of middle school students during the academic years of 2012-2016, by school year, metropolitan/provincial district, and school type. The data examined in this study was obtained from the posts of educational information, released by middle schools according to the Disclosure of Information Act for Educational Institutes. By examining the score reports of about 3,200 middle schools, the study identified several tendencies of ASA in the domain of English language subject. For example, the average score and the percentage of Achievement Level A increased each academic year of 2012-2016, while the ratio of Achievement Level E decreased. However, the average score and the percentage of Achievement Level A tended to continuously decrease as the grade (school year) of students increased while the ratio of Achievement Level E increase. Based on the analysis results, the study attempted to discuss implications for ASA implementation and suggest topics for future research.
