瑞典小学全国统考引起的学生考试焦虑研究

Introducing National Examination in Swedish Primary Education: Implications for Test Anxiety

近年来瑞典教育在国际排名中呈现下降趋势。为此，瑞典已推出多项旨在提高教育质量的改革措施，最新的改革是在小学教育中实施全国统一考试。标准化考试的一个可能的不利因素是带给学生考试焦虑，而考试焦虑可能影响考试成绩。本研究选择了三年级的40名学生样本，运用现代化的标准测试来测量学生在数学和瑞典语两门学科的考试焦虑。结果表明，考试焦虑与瑞典语的成绩不佳有关；数学笔算成绩与考试焦虑有着显著的相关关系。

In recent years， Swedent's international education ranking has declined. Therefore， a number of political initiatives have been launched. The latest reform introduces mandatory national examinations in primary education. A possible adverse effect of standardized testing is test anxiety among pupils， which may have a significant negative impact on examination performance. The current study， using a modernized standardized test for measuring children's test anxiety， explores the experience of test anxiety related to mathematics and Swedish in a sample of 40 grade 3 pupils. The results show that test anxiety is related to poor performance in Swedish. In mathematics there is an especially marked relationship between the subtest written arithmetic and test anxiety.
