High Stake Testの定義
Green(2013)“A high-stakes assessment has important consequences for the assessee (such as access to job opportunities); a low-stakes test does not. ‥ 一般に,入試や検定試験のような大規模テストはhigh-stakes test とされ,定期試験のようなclassroom assessmentはlow-stakes testとされるのかもしれない。しかし,Green(2013)が “The same assessment may be high stakes for some assessees, low stakes for others.” と述べていることからわかるように,classroom assessmentだからといって全てがlow-stakesとはならない。(テスト作りの研修根岸雅史 Negishi Masashi(東京外国語大学))
