项目摘要

The objective of this research was to develop computer-based adaptive tests for language abilities for Japanese children. There were four subtests : vocabulary, kanji knowledge, grammar and discourse cmprehension, and pragmatic knowledge. As for the vocabulary test, we made two versions of tests for preschoolers, three for lower grade of elementary school, three for upper grade, and two versions for junior high school students. Based on the results of more than 2700 children, parameters of difficulty and discrimination were estimated. Totally 270 items were chosen after eliminating inappropriate items. In the case of Kanji test, we chose different levels of Kanji letters from the list of Kyoiku Kanji and Joyo Kanji. Based on the selected Kanji letters, we made a Kanji test which is composed of 160 items after eliminating inappropriate items from the results of about 2300 students. Both vocabulary and kanji tests working on the Windows system was developed.Grammar and discourse tests we … More re composed of seven subtests : case particles, verbs such as give and take, auxiliary verbs, contextual meanings of emotion and contract, adverbs, deixis, and conjunctions and conjunctive particles. After elementary school children from first to third grades, each of which were about one hundred students, responded the tests, parameters of difficulty and discrimination in each item were estimated.The interpretation of equivocal expressions in elementary school children was investigated to constitute the tasks of pragmatics. There were twelve subtypes : range of negation, local addition of new information, indirect expression, irony, intention, idiom, metaphor, pun, riddle, homophone, and demonstrative. Factor analysis based on the fifty items of these subtypes was conducted based on the data of elementary school children from the second to sixth, each of which were there about 140 children. Two factors, named "understanding idioms and metaphors," and "using of contextual information," were extracted. Less

这项研究的目的是为日本儿童开发基于计算机的自适应测试。有四个子测验：词汇，汉字知识，语法和话语cmprehens和务实的知识。至于词汇测试，我们为学龄前儿童制作了两种版本的测试，三个用于小学的低年级，三个用于高年级，而初中学生则进行了两个版本。根据2700多名儿童的结果，估计了难度和歧视的参数。消除不适当的物品后，完全选择了270件。在汉字测试的情况下，我们从Kyoiku汉字和Joyo Kanji列表中选择不同级别的汉字字母。根据选定的汉字字母，我们进行了汉字测试，该测试由160个项目组成，因为它从约2300名学生的结果中消除了不适当的项目。开发了词汇和汉字测试，在Windows系统上进行了工作。我们…更重新组合了七个子测验：案例粒子，动词，辅助动词，情感和签约的情境含义，副词，deixis，deixis和soundies and soundience and soundience and junjunctive粒子。从一年级到三年级的小学儿童之后，每个学生都回答了测试，每个项目中的困难和歧视参数得到了估计。对小学生中同等表达的解释进行了研究，以构成实用学的任务。有十二个亚型：谈判的范围，新信息的本地添加，间接表达，讽刺，意图，成语，隐喻，双关语，谜语，同音词和示范性。基于这些亚型的五十个项目的因素分析是根据第二到第六个小学儿童的数据进行的，每个孩子大约有140名儿童。提取了两个因素，称为“理解成语和隐喻”和“使用上下文信息”。较少的
