21 秘書長報告 Secretary General’s Report For schools, we implemented the ‘Gainful Use of Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) 2020 Materials’ exercise in collaboration with the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Education City, after the TSA 2020 was cancelled because of the pandemic. In addition to paper-based assessment materials, some of the TSA materials were put online for schools’ distribution to students as tests. This enabled teachers to understand on how their students progressed during class suspension. Definitely computer-based testing will play an increasingly crucial role in assessment, learning and teaching. Under the newly developed HKDSE Diagnostic Feedback System (HKDSE-DFS) aimed at providing more useful feedback to students and teachers and promoting ‘Assessment for Learning’, some schools have joined a pilot scheme to test the interactive functions of the prototype, which include online tests and feedback for students and teachers. The HKDSE-DFS currently covers Mathematics and Chemistry subjects, and our hope is that it will cover all Category A subjects in the long run. Enhancing our Assessment Research Capacity Huge progress has been made in other research projects related to the HKDSE. In view of the risk of public examinations being cancelled under the pandemic, we have expanded the scope of the HKDSE Predicted Level Study; rather than focusing on the four core subjects, the HKEAA conducted a study on the mechanism for predicting the results of all Category A subjects in the 2020 HKDSE for school candidates. These results, in the long run, will serve useful purposes, such as helping with students applying to local and overseas universities or being used as back-up scores in contingency, for example when public examinations cannot be held. Meanwhile, the HKEAA has continued to explore using technology to enhance and diversify its assessment services, including the feasibility study on having computer-delivered oral examination in HKDSE English Language, and a study on using artificial intelligence (AI) in the marking of English Language writing papers in the HKDSE and TSA. We are pleased to see positive results in these pilot studies. In addition, we are stepping up efforts in developing an Integrated Corporate Services System to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our services. 2020年全港性系統評估因應疫情而取消後, 我們與教育局及香港教育城推出「善用2020 年全港性系統評估材料」。除紙本評核材料, 學校並可透過網上平台向學生分發評估材料 以作測驗,協助教師了解學生停課期間的學 習進展。 電腦模式考核在評核及學與教的過程中,毫 無疑問將扮演愈來愈重要的角色。考評局 新開發的文憑試回饋系統,旨在為學生與教 師提供更多有用的回饋,推動「評核促進學 習」。部分學校已參與先導計劃,以測試文憑 試回饋系統的各種互動功能,包括網上試題 學習平台,學生與教師在完成網上測驗後能 取得回饋。文憑試回饋系統目前涵蓋數學科 和化學科,我們希望長遠可擴展至所有甲類 科目。 提升評核研究能力 文憑試相關的其他研究項目亦取得極大進 展。鑑於公開考試可能因疫情而取消的風 險,我們在2020年擴大了文憑試等級預測研 究的範圍,由原本只涵蓋四個核心科目,擴 展至所有甲類科目,以研究預測學校考生成 績的機制。長遠而言,研究結果可作不同用 途,如協助學生申請報讀本地及海外大學, 或在無法舉行公開考試的情況下作為後備分 數。 與此同時,考評局繼續探討利用科技提升評 核質素,讓評核服務更多元化,包括以電腦 進行文憑試英國語文科口試的可行性研究, 以及研究使用人工智能評閱文憑試及全港性 系統評估的英文寫作卷別。我們喜見這些先 導研究取得正面成果。此外,我們正建立一 套綜合機構服務系統,從而提升服務效益和 效率。
