Abstract

espanolInvestigaciones recientes sobre la evaluacion del rendimiento cognitivo y academico de los estudiantes extranjeros ponen en evidencia las incoherencias de la practica de los docentes en relacion a la evaluacion del desempeno de los estudiantes de L2. Nuestro objetivo es verificar si los estudiantes clasificados por las escuelas, que tienen diferentes niveles de competencia de acuerdo con el Marco Comun Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER, 2001), actuan de forma diferente en las pruebas de vocabulario y razonamiento verbal. En el estudio participaron 23 estudiantes de portugues como L2 9 -18 anos, dividido en tres grupos segun su nivel de competencia (A1, A2, B1). Las herramientas de evaluacion incluyen cuatro tareas - analogias verbales, asociaciones semanticas, reconocimiento de imagenes y extraccion morfologica. Nuestras expectativas son que los estudiantes A1 tienen un rendimiento peor que los estudiantes A2 en todas las tareas y que estos realizan aun peor que los estudiantes clasificados con un nivel B1 en lengua portuguesa. Los resultados muestran que, por una parte, hay diferentes capacidades de rendimiento entre los grupos de competencia y, por otro lado, hay inconsistencia en las capacidades esperadas en cada uno de los diferentes grupos (desde el principiante hasta el nivel mas avanzado). Los resultados sugieren inconsistencias en la practica de los docentes respecto a las pruebas de la actuacion de los grupos minoritarios con implicaciones en el exito academico de los estudiantes identificados.

葡萄牙学校少数民族学生的语言测试:基于欧洲共同框架的教师决策
然而,在实践中,第二语言学生的认知和学术表现的评估是不一致的,这是最近关于外国学生认知和学术表现评估的研究的结果。我们的目的是验证根据欧洲语言参考共同框架(cefr, 2001),有不同能力水平的学校分类的学生在词汇和语言推理测试中的表现是否不同。本研究共涉及23名9 -18岁的葡萄牙语第二语言学生,根据他们的能力水平分为三组(A1, A2, B1)。评估工具包括四个任务——语言类比、语义联想、图像识别和形态提取。我们的期望是A1学生在所有作业上的表现都比A2学生差,而A2学生的葡萄牙语成绩甚至比B1水平的学生差。结果表明,一方面,能力组之间的表现能力存在差异,另一方面,每个不同的组(从初学者到高级水平)的期望能力存在不一致。结果表明,教师在测试少数群体行为方面的实践不一致,这对确定的学生的学业成功有影响。最近关于移民学生认知和学术成绩评估的研究表明,教师在第二语言学生成绩评估方面的做法不一致。我们的目的是核实根据《欧洲语言参考共同框架》(CEFR, 2001),按学校分类的学生是否在词汇和语言推理测试中表现不同。该研究包括23名9-18岁的第二语言葡萄牙语学习者,根据他们的熟练程度分为三组(A1, A2, B1)。评估工具包括四个任务:语言类比、语义联想、图片命名和形态提取。我们的期望是,A1学生在所有任务上的表现都比A2学生差,而A2学生在葡萄牙语方面的表现也比B1水平的学生差。结果表明,一方面,熟练组之间存在表现差异,另一方面,任务中表现差异的预期顺序不一致(从初级到最高水平)。结果表明,教师在少数群体成绩测试方面的做法不一致,对已确认学生的学业成功有影响
