【摘要】：长久以来,考试焦虑一直困扰着诸多考生。考试焦虑对考生的临场表现带来负面影响,直接影响考生的考试结果。而雅思口试因其一对一交流的特性,更容易给考生带来压力。在考生和考官双向交流的过程中,考官性别是影响考生考试焦虑程度的潜在因素之一。尽管雅思考试委员会已经对考官的考场行为进行了规范,并力图将考官影响降至最低,但在考试环境中,考生对考官性别因素有不同的解读,而这种解读和其带来的影响是无法通过考官培训消除的,因此,考官性别因素极有可能会对考生的考试焦虑程度产生影响。为探究雅思口试中,考官性别对考生考试焦虑程度的影响,及这种影响对口试成绩的作用,本研究采用了定量研究的方式,通过设计考官性别量表,使用统计学软件SPSS,在独立样本t检验、描述分析、相关系数分析和二元逻辑回归四个方面,对142名受试者进行了研究。通过分析受试者的测试结果,并比对该结果与雅思口试的关系,本研究发现,考官性别对考生的考试焦虑程度确实有一定影响,且这种影响主要来自于考试焦虑的社会和情感层面。另外,由考官性别激发的考试焦虑与考生的口试成绩也存在较弱的相关性。这种性别激发的考试焦虑对最终口试结果的影响比重为8%。一般情况下,考生的考试焦虑程度越高,口试成绩越低。因此,为营造一个更加适于考生发挥的环境,考生、考官和考试设置系统都应做出相应的努力。本研究探索了考官性别与考生考试焦虑的关系,丰富了Zeidner提出的考试焦虑模型及性别研究在口语测试领域的应用,也为性别问题在测试学领域的研究提供了参考。同时,本研究也对雅思口试体系及口语测试的规范化提出了建议。
[Abstract]:For a long time, test anxiety has plagued many candidates. Test anxiety has a negative impact on the performance of the examinee, and directly affects the result of the examination. IELTS oral test because of its one-to-one communication characteristics, easier to bring pressure to candidates. In the process of two-way communication between examinees and examiners, examiner gender is one of the potential factors that influence test anxiety. Although the IELTS examination Board has regulated the conduct of examiners and tried to minimize the impact of examiners, in the examination environment, candidates have different interpretations of the gender factors of examiners. This interpretation and its impact can not be eliminated through the training of examiners, therefore, the gender factors of examiners are likely to have an impact on the degree of test anxiety. In order to explore the influence of examiner's gender on examinee's test anxiety and the effect of this kind of influence on oral test result, this study adopted the method of quantitative study and designed the examiner's gender scale. Using statistical software SPSS, 142 subjects were studied in four aspects: independent sample t-test, descriptive analysis, correlation coefficient analysis and binary logic regression. By analyzing the test results of the subjects and comparing the relationship between the results and the IELTS oral test, this study found that the examiner's gender does have a certain influence on the test anxiety of the examinees. And this influence mainly comes from the social and emotional aspects of test anxiety. In addition, there is a weak correlation between test anxiety and oral test scores. This gender-induced test anxiety affects the final oral test results in a proportion of 8%. Generally speaking, the higher the test anxiety, the lower the test scores. Therefore, in order to create a more suitable environment for candidates, examiners and examination setup system should make corresponding efforts. This study explores the relationship between examiner's gender and examinee's test anxiety, enriches Zeidner's test anxiety model and the application of gender research in the field of oral test, and provides a reference for the study of gender in the field of testing. At the same time, this study also puts forward some suggestions on the standardization of IELTS oral test system and oral test.
