科学推理是现代知识社会的一项重要能力。越来越多的发展和教育研究表明，小学生已经具备了新兴的科学推理能力。科学-P推理问卷(SPR-I)是一种以课堂为基础的新型纸笔工具，旨在测量儿童在科学推理的不同组成部分(实验、数据解释、理解科学的本质)的概念进步。SPR-I包括19个项目，还有一个精简的7个项目的版本：SPR-I(7)。这两个版本都衡量了广泛的科学推理能力，它们可以用于全班测试。SPR-I(7)的管理只需要30分钟，允许在不同的研究环境中使用它，并对小学生进行大样本的经济评估。本文报告了指导SPR-I建设的理论、概念发展模型的第一次实证检验(IRT分析)。SPR-I和SPR-I(7)均可从补充材料中获得。
Scientific reasoning is a crucial ability in modern knowledge societies. An increasing body of developmental and educational research shows that already primary-school children possess emerging scientific-reasoning skills. The Science-P Reasoning Inventory (SPR-I) is a novel classroom-based paper-and-pencil instrument that was developed to measure children's conceptual advances across diverse components of scientific reasoning (experimentation, data interpretation, understanding the nature of science). The SPR-I comprises 19 items, and a reduced, 7-item version is available: the SPR-I(7). Both versions measure broad scientific-reasoning skills and they can be used for whole-class testing. The administration of the SPR-I(7) requires only 30 min, allowing for its use across diverse research settings and the economic assessment of large samples of primary-school students. This article reports on the first empirical test (IRT analysis) of the theoretical, conceptual-development model that guided the construction of the SPR-I. Both the SPR-I and the SPR-I(7) are available from the Supplementary Materials.
