The 7th national curriculum shifts the fundamental spirit from teachercentered to learner-centered instruction. According to the shift, performance assessment has been emphasized in schools rather than using a variety of standardized tests. However, some researchers and educational policy-makers recently asserted that we need to return to the kind of standardized tests used in the past, giving up performance assessment, for it can actually not be implemented in classroom. This paper is written to refute their assertion. Performance assessment prove one's real worth when it is implemented in learner-centered instruction. Therefore, some assessment methods are discussed which can be used during learner-centered instruction.

This study compares and analyzes the mathematics assessment items of the middle school's national-level academic achievement tests in Korea and Japan, recently revised as a competency-focused curriculum. By comparing and analyzing the assessment items in each country, the analytic framework is integrated into content areas, contexts, and competencies. The characteristics of each country's assessment items developed for each content area were analyzed using the framework. We suggested some implications on developing and improving national-level academic assessment items.

In today's secondary school mathematics curriculum, assessment is to be focused on evaluating the student's mathematical thinking rather than finding the correct solution to the problem. A descriptive evaluation method is therefore introduced to the school districts and suggested as an alternative assessment method in K-12 school mathematics. Descriptive evaluation method is widely available for use in schools, but there are barriers to using it since the teachers are forced to use the method by the school districts. In this research, we surveyed 120 secondary school mathematics teachers in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area to understand the status and the perception about using descriptive evaluation. The goal of the study was to find and understand the direct implications of using the new assessment method in secondary mathematics classes. The study showed that most of the mathematics teachers used the descriptive assessment method during their regular exam periods which is given twice per semester. Most of the open-ended problems used for descriptive evaluation were medium or high level math questions which were graded by the teachers at least 3 times to ensure objective evaluation. The teachers stated that objectivity in grading, administrative situation, and development of descriptive problems were the difficult barriers in descriptive evaluation. The teachers in the survey also commented that teachers' administrative responsibility should be reduced and that school environment in general should be improved for the new assessment method to become successful. Finally, the study showed that development of more descriptive problems with specific grading guidelines need to be developed for each grade level.

In this paper, we studied how to organize and develop a web based diagnostic-formative evaluation system. We investigated the interest of students about the system and analyze their scores after we applied this system to 10-th grade students for 10 months.

고전검사이론과 문항반응이론을 사용하여 2-7차 실험정가 수리영역문항을 분석하였다. 2차부터 7차에 걸친 시험은 피험자에게 너무 어려웠으며 횟수를 거듭함에 따라 점점 더 어려워진 것으로 나타났다. 5차 실험평가 문항분석결과에서 문항 10과 15는 검토가 필요한 문항으로 나타났다. 그리고 7차 실험평가 문항분석결과에서 문항 11과 17은 검토가 필요한 문항으로 나타났다.

It is well known that the low achievement students are easily affected by the ways how the materials are organized and presented. So the studies on trying to find how those students' responses are differed according to the organization or presentation of the materials are necessary. This paper was based on the results of Korean Elementary 3 Grade Students National Diagnosis Assessment on Basic Scholastic Ability in area of mathematics. We analyzed students responses through combining the percents of correct answers with the assessment items. After that, we identified the properties of low achievement students in mathematics and presented some guides which, we thought, are helpful for improvements of mathematics textbooks and teacher guide books.
