Abstract:	本研究著重於比較台灣原住民以及非原住民國中學生的考試成績，以及在國中英文會考考試題目中存在的文化偏見。本研究的主要發現有：（1）原住民以及非原住民學生的測量結構的組成不相似。（2）非原住民學生的分數信度比原住民學生高出15％的信度。（3）研究較精確測量了非原住民學生的英文能力而非原住民學生的英文能力。因此我的研究沒有發現任何證據顯示英文考試題目中存在著現有的文化偏見。把所有的參數納入參考後，限於不具代表性的樣本，因此原住民和非原住民學生的英文考試之可比性降低。本研究並沒有證明台灣國中英文會考的考試題目中有存在文化偏見。 My dissertation examined the comparability of the test scores between the Indigenous and Non-Indigenous students, and the existence of a cultural bias present in the test items of the English Test of the Comprehensible Assessment Program for Junior High School Students. The statistical analyses of the test scores from the sample revealed the following information: The compositions of the measured constructs are dissimilar for the two groups; the reliability estimates of the scores revealed a 15% higher measurement accuracy for the Non-Indigenous students than for Indigenous students; the test items were ordered differently in terms of their difficulty level, but were ordered similarly in terms of their degree of discrimination; the test provided more information of students with different ability levels in the case of Non-Indigenous students than in the case of Indigenous students. My study did not find any evidence that would point to an existing cultural bias in the test questions. Taking everything into account, the results, limited to the non-representative sample of the students who participated in my study, indicated a low degree of comparability between the Indigenous and Non-Indigenous students’ test scores of the English Test of the Comprehensible Assessment Program for Junior High School Students. The results did not prove the existence of cultural bias in the context of the questions.
