IB MYP eAssessment wins international award

国际文凭组织（IB）中学项目（MYP）电子化测试荣获国际大奖，在今年的电子化测试奖被授予“最佳总结性评估”奖，并获得“最佳转型项目”的最佳推荐，意味着是全球最优秀的电子化测试的实践、研究和创新。
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) eAssessment has been awarded Best Use of Summative Assessment and was highly commended for Best Transformational Project at this year’s eAssessment Awards, which highlights the very best practice, research and innovation within eAssessment.

面对激烈的国际范围的竞争，包括法国教育部的评委评论表示，“MYP电子化测试令人印象深刻的是，可以用来评估学生更高级的思维能力，相比之下这是纸质测试很难完成的任务”，以及 “MYP电子化测试清楚地表明,可以通过在线方式为全世界任何地方的学校提供总结性评估。”
Up against stiff international competition in the category, including the French Ministry of Education, judges commented that the MYP eAssessment “was impressive in how the examinations are designed to assess students’ higher thinking skills which previously had been harder to do using paper testing” and that it “clearly demonstrates that it is possible to successfully deliver online summative assessment in schools anywhere in the world”.

IB电子化测试负责人苏·威尔金森博士说：“我们非常自豪， MYP电子化测试得到了高度认可，因为它的创新测试技术使学习和评估更有意义。电子化测试培养学生的独立意识及批判性思维，获得创造更美好世界的能力，也是IB学习过程中的关键发展阶段。”
Dr Sue Wilkinson, IB’s Head of eAssessment, said: “We are so proud that the MYP eAssessment has been recognised for its innovative examination techniques which make learning and assessment more meaningful. The eAssessment is a key stage in the IB journey to developing students who are independent and critical thinkers with the skills to create a better world”.

告别死记硬背的学习方式 Beyond rote memorisation 
MYP电子化测试由英国资格与课程管理委员会（Ofqual）监察，提供给MYP中学项目5年级学生，它超越了死记硬背的学习方式 ——75%的内容专注于探究、沟通和批判思维能力。
The MYP eAssessment, which is regulated by Ofqual in the UK, is for MYP Year 5 students and goes beyond rote memorisation—75% focuses on inquiry, communication and critical thinking skills.

威尔金森说:“学生面临的挑战是，把他们所学到的东西与他们接下来可能学到的东西联系起来，收集数据、分析结果，运用更大、更系统的思维来解决现实世界的问题。因此，这样的考试要能够有效地评估在21世纪繁荣和成功所需要的广泛知识、技能和概念。
Wilkinson said: “Students are challenged to connect what they have learned with what they might learn next, collect data, analyse results and apply big ideas to solving real-world problems. As such, a single examination provides an effective assessment of the broad range of knowledge, skills and concepts needed to thrive and succeed in the 21st century”.

电子化屏幕测试中使用不同类型的任务来测试特定的技能，这意味着对学生所有学科的目标和成果都经过了彻底的测试。例如，通过一篇短文评估写作能力，创建一个信息图表来评估沟通技巧。
Different types of tasks are used within the on-screen examinations to test specific skills meaning that student’s achievement against all subject objectives is thoroughly tested. For example, a short essay assesses writing capabilities, creating an infographic to assess communication skills.

慕尼黑国际学校(Munich International School)的MYP协调员安吉拉•布拉辛顿(Angela Brassington)在评价MYP电子化测试与学生的相关性时说:“学生更喜欢屏幕上的考试，因为这反映了他们每天的学习方式。”屏幕上的考试是多媒体的、动态的，所以问题可以设计得需要更多的创造性的回答或回应，要求学生以一种不可能在纸上完成的方式，操作数据并提出新的理解。”Commenting on the relevance of the eAssessment for MYP students, Angela Brassington, an MYP coordinator at Munich International School said: “Students prefer the on-screen examinations because this reflects how they learn on a daily basis. The on-screen examinations are media rich and dynamic, so questions can be designed that require much more creative responses or responses that require students to manipulate data and present new understandings, in a way that is not possible on paper”.
