유학생의 한국어 듣기 평가를 위한 한국어능력시험의 내용 타당도 분석 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the content validity of TOPIK, which is employed as an evaluation tool for international students in order to develop Korean listening evaluation for academic purposes. The validity of TOPIK was examined by comparing it with TOEFL iBT, which is stably used to measure the language ability of learners with academic purposes. 350 questions and 206 questions were collected from 7 papers of each test. The collected data were coded in terms of input and output, and analyzed with the use of IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0. The results indicate that all the passages in TOEFL consisted of lectures, counseling, and administrative discourses, whereas in TOPIK, 78% of the scenes were less relevant to the target language use domain of international students, and the counseling situation was not considered at all. In the case of output patterns, unlike TOEFL, which showed relatively even distribution, TOPIK was focused on specific question types, and in lecture listening, logical reasoning questions were not presented, and pragmatic reasoning questions were not given in administrative discourse. The difference between the two tests was statistically significant, and the validity of the TOPIK test was not high compared to TOEFL, nor was it in itself. In consideration of practicality, educational application which can increase the validity while maintaining the frame of the current test, was suggested. (Ewha Womans University)
