The Semiotics of Test Design: Conceptual Framework on Optimal Item Features in Educational Assessment Across Cultural Groups, Countries, and Languages
2021
This paper offers a conceptual framework on test design from the perspective of social semiotics. Items are defined as arrangements of features intended to represent information, convey meaning, and capture information on the examinees’ knowledge or skills on a given content. The conceptual framework offers a typology of semiotic resources used to create items and discusses item representational complexity—the multiple ways in which the semiotic resources of an item are related to each other—and item semiotic alignment—the extent to which examinees share cultural experience encoded by items. Since the ability to make sense of items is shaped by the examinees’ level of familiarity with the s…
Approche des groupes culturels et de leurs interactions entre Rhin et Rhône à la transition Bronze-Fer
2014
Cultural groups and their interactions follow from complex dynamics, delicate to grasp due to many unknown factors. However, it is still possible to define an approach to this problem with the use of elements from pre-established models, taking in consideration the different types of information offered by archaeological remains. The present analysis is part of a doctorat defended in April 2013 about cultural groups and exchanges dynamics, in a study area going from the Saône-Rhône confluence to the Mosel‘s mouth, from the 10th to the 8th centuries BC. More particularly, this work used metalwork types and deposit context as cultural indicators. The controntation of the results from the fact…
