パフォーマンステストの評価尺度の開発：ファシリテーションスキルの弁別性と実施可能性

抄録

Under the new course of study being implemented, it is expected that high schools will be welcoming students with increasing language knowledge and richer language experience, so it is predicted that more advanced language activities and performance tests for advanced learners will be needed. Advanced learners are reportedly good at utilizing both discussion skills and decision-making skills. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the followings: 1) whether facilitation skills, which contribute to the facilitation and deepening of discussions and decision-making, can be indicators that distinguish advanced learners from others; 2) whether facilitation skills have sufficient reliability as evaluation criteria; and 3) whether facilitation skills can be used for evaluation without encountering any problems. The results obtained show that although facilitation skills constitute one characteristic of advanced learners, some problems with the performance test need to be solved.
