英语写作自动评分系统研究概述

Review of Research on English Writing Automated Scoring System

摘要: 由于大规模考试数量的增多和考试人数的增加，传统的人工阅卷不再能够满足跨地域、跨学科的大规模考试阅卷，各地人工阅卷工作不仅给评阅教师增加了极大的负担，同时也大大降低了评阅工作的效率。随着自然语言处理技术的不断成熟，自动评分系统有望成为解决这一难题的希望。作为现代教育技术的自动评分系统在云端技术的支持下，以语料库为基础，对学生的答卷进行评分和反馈，这不仅符合了“重视现代信息技术应用，丰富英语课程学习资源”的政策要求，同时也顺应了大数据时代和人工智能兴起的时代背景，对教育教学工作者、教师、学生都产生了不可低估的作用。本文将从自动评分系统发展概述、自动评分系统信效度研究、自动评分系统应用三个方面展开论述。

Abstract: Due to the increasing number of large-scale exams and the growing number of test takers, traditional manual grading is no longer able to meet the demands of large-scale exams across regions and disciplines. Manual grading not only imposes a significant burden on grading teachers but also greatly reduces the efficiency of grading work. With the continuous maturation of natural language processing technology, automated scoring systems are expected to provide hope in addressing this challenge. Supported by cloud technology, automated scoring systems in modern educational technology, based on corpora, score and provide feedback on students’ answer sheets. This not only aligns with the policy requirements of “emphasizing the application of modern information technology and enriching English course learning resources” but also meets the era background of big data and the rise of artificial intelligence, which plays an undeniable role for educational and teaching staff, teachers, and students. This research discusses three aspects of automated scoring systems: an overview of their development, research on their reliability and validity, and their specific applications.
