國際及專業考試

International and Professional Examinations

多年來考評局與多個考試機構、院校、大學、專

業團體,以及政府部門合作,舉辦超過 200個國

際及專業考試。 2015/16年度,參加各項國際及

專業考試的總考生人數多達 294,000人,較上年

度上升了 2.1%。

整體考生人數因應香港學生人口下降而減少,在

各類考試中,音樂╱舞蹈╱藝術考試的考生人數

仍然最多。而過去一年參加入學╱預科考試的考

生人數增長最高,錄得達 21.1%的增幅,主要原

因是更多內地考生來港參加 SAT及 ACT考試。至

於參加招聘考試的考生人數,則上升了 12%。

The HKEAA has administered more than 200 examinations over the

years in collaboration with various examination boards, colleges,

universities, professional bodies and government departments.

The overall candidature of these international and professional

examinations in 2015 /16 reached 294,000, an increase of 2.1% on

last year.

Amongst the wide range of examinations, music /dance /art

examinations continue to be the most popular even though the

overall number of entries has been adversely affected by the recent

demographic decline of the student population in Hong Kong. The

biggest growth of the year came from admission /matriculation

examinations, up 21.1% on last year fuelled by an increasing number

of candidates from the Mainland taking SAT and ACT in Hong Kong.

The number of candidates sitting recruitment examinations was also

up 12% on last year.

Service Quality Enhancement On the human resources front, to ensure compliance with

examination guidelines and procedures in addition to standardisation

of best practices across a wide range of international and professional

examinations, a staff-training programme with qualifying tests was

introduced. On the technology front, to further enhance and sustain

the growth of our examination services, in March 2016 the Authority

implemented the IPE System Migration Project for enhancing system

performance, security, maintainability and expandability in the long

run. With the completion of this enhancement project by early

2018, the Authority will be able to introduce a wider scope of online

services for candidates, including dispatch of examination documents,

viewing of examination appointments and online testing, in addition

to online registration.

Supporting Overseas Examination Bodies To introduce the new LCCI syllabuses and examination calendar

to secondary schools, a joint LCCI training session, conducted

by Pearson and the Authority, was held in January 2016. A

workshop on the Associate Agreement between the Authority

and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) was also jointly

held in March for private and direct subsidy secondary schools.

Moreover, an information seminar on the Institute of Linguists

Educational Trust’s new qualification, Certificate in Languages

for Business, was organised in April for training bodies of the

Employees Retraining Board.

基本能力評估

Basic Competency Assessments

考評局自 2001年起獲教育局委託推行促進學與

教的基本能力評估(BCA)。計劃包括兩項評估:

紙筆形式的全港性系統評估(TSA)及網上的學生

評估( SA)。

全港性系統評估旨在評量小三、小六和中三學生

的中國語文、英國語文及數學的基本能力,完成

評估後學校可獲發學校層面報告,以了解學生的

表現。

The Basic Competency Assessments (BCA) project, commissioned by

the EDB to facilitate learning and teaching in schools, has been run

by the Authority since 2001. The BCA comprises two assessments:

the paper-and-pen Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) and the

web-based Student Assessment (SA).

The TSA measures students’ basic competencies in Chinese, English

and Mathematics at Primary 3 (P.3), Primary 6 (P.6) and Secondary 3

(S.3) levels. Reports of school-level data obtained from the TSA are

provided to individual schools to facilitate better understanding of

their students’ performance.

註:

* 中三級中國語文科的視聽資訊評估已從 2007起納入為計算達標分數的其中一個項目。

^ 2012和 2014年小六全港性系統評估暫停舉行,而由 2015年開始,每隔一年(單數年份)舉行一次。由於雙數年份的小六全港性系統評估以自願形式參加,並非全港小六學生參與,故此未能提供全港數據。

∆ 2016年小三級以試行研究計劃形式進行,50 多所小學參與評估,從中計算出全港小三級學生在中、英、數三科的達標率。

Notes:

* The Chinese audio-visual component has been included in the calculation of the cut score at the S.3 level since 2007.

^ The P.6 Territory-wide System Assessment was suspended in 2012 and 2014 and with effect from 2015 it has been run every other year (in odd-numbered years). Since participation in the even-numbered years was on a voluntary basis and not all P.6 students were involved, no territory-wide data is provided for this cohort in this report.

∆ The 2016 P.3 TSA was conducted as part of the Tryout Study. The Basic Competency attainment rates of the Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics subjects were calculated using data from some 50 participating schools.

40

The S.3 TSA was fully implemented in 2016 with 55,200 students

taking written assessments and 20,600 taking oral assessments; while

it was an opt-in year for the P.6 TSA which is only fully implemented

every other year.

In response to the recommendations made by the Coordinating

Committee on Basic Competency Assessment and Assessment

Literacy (the Committee), the P.3 TSA was conducted as part of the

Tryout Study in which some 50 schools were invited to take part.

The assessment designs for the three subjects were also modified to

facilitate better reporting of key diagnostic information to schools.

A series of seminars was organised for the three subjects at P.3

and S.3 after the release of results. Presentations on overall student

performance, supported with exemplars showing students’ strengths

and weaknesses, as well as the newly-developed online item analysis

(OIA) report were provided to teachers to help them familiarise

with the newly developed online item reporting system and better

understand their students’ performance.

Review of P.3 TSA To facilitate the Committee’s discussion on the medium and long-

term proposals for TSA, we ran two rounds of focus group meetings

(FGMs). The first round was held in June for teachers from schools

participating in the P.3 Tryout Study 2016. The second round was

conducted for the marking personnel in July 2016. The purpose of the

FGMs was to collect views from these teachers on the question papers

and assessment design.

In response to the feedback from stakeholders, we have developed

three additional report formats with different contents to cater for

the preferences of individual schools so as to facilitate schools in

using assessment data to improve learning and teaching. The reports

provide information on item design, including the corresponding

learning objective, Basic Competency, question intent and analysis of

each multiple choice option. It is expected that these reports would

enhance schools’ understanding of students’ overall performance

and students’ strategies for attempting items, and thus facilitates

the analysis of students’ learning progress. In November 2016, three

FGMs were organised to review these enhanced report formats and

their functionality.

中三全港性系統評估於 2016年全面推行,有

55,200名學生參加紙筆評估及 20,600名學生參加

說話評估;至於小六級,在隔年安排下,學校於

2016年可以自願形式參加評估。

根據基本能力評估及評估素養統籌委員會(委員

會)的建議,小三全港性系統評估以試行研究計

劃的形式進行, 50多間學校應邀參與是次研究計

劃。我們亦優化了小三級的評估設計,並新增具

診斷資料的評估報告供學校參考。

成績發放後,考評局舉辦了小三和中三的三個科

目研討會,講解學生的整體表現,並透過不同示

例解說學生的強弱項;與此同時,我們亦在會上

介紹新的網上題目分析報告( OIA),讓教師認識

報告系統的功能,方便分析學生的表現。

檢視小三全港性系統評估為協助委員會就全港性系統評估的中期及長期

建議展開討論,我們安排了兩輪焦點小組會議。

第一輪在 2016年 6月舉辦,主要為參加 2016年

小三試行研究計劃的學校教師而設,隨後於 7月

為閱卷員舉辦第二輪會議,蒐集教師對試題和評

估設計的意見。

參考持份者意見後,我們新增了三款不同內容的

報告,讓學校按照校本需要選擇合適的報告並運

用評估數據以改善學與教。報告提供有關試題設

計的詳盡資料,包括相關學習目標、基本能力、

評估重點和多項選擇題各選項的分析。這些報告

讓學校進一步掌握學生的整體表現,學生答題時

的策略,從而分析學生的學習進度。同年 11月

我們舉行了三個焦點小組會議,以檢視這些優化

報告及其實用性。

續為有特殊教育需要的學生提供支援措施。當中

包括提供點字卷、放大卷及讀屏軟件等。為協

助非華語學生參加中國語文科評估,我們亦提供

了相應的支援措施,包括在筆試和口試部分提供

中、英文版本的學生須知,及在聆聽評估中朗讀

題目和選項。此外,如學校有五名或以上非華語

學生參加全港性系統評估的中國語文科評估,亦

可獲取一份額外有關該校非華語學生和全港非華

語學生的表現報告,以助學校優化他們的教學計

要資源庫。自 2001年起,這網上評估題目庫儲

存了超過 37,000道涵蓋中國語文、英國語文和數

質的評估項目,能促進學習和教學,已被廣泛使

用,使用率在學校假期期間更高。

學生評估系統自 2016年 9月起升級至香港教育城

網站的 STAR平台。為確保兩個系統交接順利,

香港教育城、教育局及考評局於 10月和 11月,

就新評估系統合辦五場講座,講解新系統的主要

特點。考評局就學生評估系統向學校提供技術支

援至 2016年底。

Accommodating students with different needs To encourage participation by as diverse a range of students as possible

in the TSA, we have continued to implement measures to accommodate

students with special educational needs (SEN). These include the

provision of braille, enlarged question papers and screen-readers.

For Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) students, we provided support

measures to facilitate their participation in the Chinese Language

assessment including bilingual instructions for the written and

speaking components, as well as read-aloud questions and options

in the listening assessment. Moreover, schools with five or more

NCS students participating in the TSA on Chinese Language also

received an additional report providing specific information on NCS

students’ performance relative to the whole NCS student cohort,

helping schools to improve their teaching plans and enhance

student learning.

Student Assessment (SA) The SA system serves as a valuable resource bank to help teachers

identify students’ learning progress. Most of the items are web-based

and over 37,000 items covering Chinese, English and Mathematics

have been developed since 2001. The SA system has been extensively

used, especially during school holidays, providing an abundant source

of quality assessment items to facilitate both learning and teaching.

Starting from September 2016, the SA system has been upgraded

to the STAR platform managed by Hong Kong Education City

(HKEdCity). To ensure a smooth transition between the two

systems, key characteristics of the new assessment bank were

explained at five seminars jointly organised by the HKEdCity, EDB

and HKEAA in October and November. The Authority maintained

the SA system and provided technical support to schools until the

end of 2016.
