대학수학능력시험 영어 영역의 구인 및 문항 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate the plausibility of constructs and item types in the English section of College Scholastic Aptitude Test (CSAT). To this aim, this study examined the test constructs and item types of the English sections of the 2012, 2014 & 2018 CSAT. It was found that the constructs of the English section of the 2012 CSAT could be explained by knowledge of lexis & grammar, and literal & inferential comprehension skills. The constructs of the English section of the 2014 CSAT and 2018 CSAT, on the other hand, were mostly based on the achievements standards set forth by the 2009 Revised National Curriculum. Among others, the achievement standards focused on the ability to understand main ideas & details, and the ability to use textual & functional knowledge appropriately in communication situations. Some discussions on the appropriateness of item types designed to measure the aforementioned constructs will follow. Some suggestions for the further study are also addressed.
