網上評卷的實踐與思考：香港公開考試視角

網上評卷作為一種新型評卷形式，對提高評卷效率、控制評卷誤差具有重要的現實意義。文章系統回顧了國際領域網上評卷的實施情況，並報告了香港考試及評核局針對香港中學會考網上評卷的實施情況所開展的一系列驗證性研究。研究結果表明：(1)網上評捲和紙質評卷所得分數具有可比性；(2)採用網上評卷不會對考生分數產生影響；(3)評分員對於評分模式的傾向不存在偏倚。文章還提出了日後網上評卷研究的研究重點和發展方向，對其他國家和地區開展網上評卷有一定借鑒和啟示作用。
Onscreen marking (OSM), as one of the emerging marking mediums, can perform an important role in improving marking quality and reducing marking errors. The current paper lays out the uptake of OSM worldwide and outlines a series of validation studies conducted for the English subject of Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) with the support of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA). Results of the validation studies showed that (1) scores obtained from OSM were statistically comparable to those from paper-based marking (PBM); (2) OSM did not affect candidates’ scores, with candidates receiving comparable scores in either OSM or PBM; (3) markers’ attitudes towards OSM were overall positive. The paper ends with some observations regarding further avenues for investigation into the effectiveness and applicability of OSM, providing implications for the use of OSM in other contexts.
