본 논문에서는 2021학년도 대학수학능력시험 제2외국어/한문 영역 중 중국어Ⅰ 과목(이하 수능 중국어) 평가문항이 2015 개정 교육과정 및 수능 출제지침에 부합하는지 검토하여 평가의 타당도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 교육과정 내 중국어Ⅰ의 어휘와 문법 요목에 해당하는 기본어휘 및 의사소통 기본표현이 중국어Ⅱ와 공유되고 있어서 수능 중국어1의 범위가 중국어Ⅱ에 걸쳐 있으며, 교육과정에서 중국어Ⅰ이나 Ⅱ에서 배워야 하는 어휘 및 문법의 수준을 제한하지 않아 실제 수능 문제에서는 중국어Ⅱ 혹은 그 이상에 해당하는 수준이 문제로 출제될 수 있는 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 출제근거에 해당하는 성취기준 적용 타당성을 분석하였는데, 그 결과 대부분의 문항이 중국어Ⅱ의 성취기준에도 부합함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 향후 절대평가 체제에서 동일 영역의 타과목과 균형을 맞추기 위해 난이도를 조정할 필요가 있다고 본다.
In this paper, we analyzed the validity of the evaluation by reviewing whether the Chinese I (hereinafter referred to as CSAT Chinese) evaluation questions in the second foreign language/Chinese characters area of the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) meet the 2015 revised curriculum and CSAT test guidelines. We investigated whether the CSAT Chinese questions meet the level of the Chinese Ⅰ curriculum and the test guide, focusing on vocabulary and grammar among the five major evaluation elements of the test guide released by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE). We found that Chinese I and Chinese II share the same syllabus of the vocabulary and grammar in the curriculum, so the range of the CSAT of ChineseⅠwas expanded to Chinese Ⅱ in terms of vocabulary and grammar. The level of difficulty in basic vocabulary and grammar items are not limited in the curriculum. As a result, the vocabulary or grammar items used in Chinese Ⅰ of the CSAT may be equivalent to or higher than the level of Chinese II. We analyzed the grounds for making exam questions that presented by KICE, and found that almost questions met not only the achievement standard of Chinese Ⅰ, but also Chinese Ⅱ. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the difficulty to balance with other subjects in the same area in order to ensure fairness under the absolute evaluation system in the future.
