Transferring New Assessment Technologies

该项目的目标是将新的评估 从研究人员到教育实践者的技术。 这将使课程开发团队能够 课程和评估在课堂上，并提供 教师有效使用所需的知识和技能 课程中的新评估。 到 完成这一点，该项目将产生实践培训 提高教师和其他教育工作者能力的材料 使用和建造新形式的能力， 学生评估-如档案袋和实践 调查-与课程改革相一致， 科学和数学教育。 为此，原型 将编制实际操作培训材料， 测试. 在开发原型材料之前， 项目将创建新的评估，以研究 制定评估所涉及的步骤， 与教师和其他教育工作者，以找出如何最好地 从研究中转移新的试验开发技术 参与课堂和学校测试的人员 发展 最终产品将是两个动手 培训包，一个用于提供专业知识， 在职教师的知识和技能，以使用新的 评估和另一个，在第一个基础上，提供 教师，科学教育的研究生， 主管和其他教育工作者的知识和技能， 创建和评估新的评估。 成本分摊将至少为NSF的13% 部分。

The goal of this project is to transfer new assessment technologies from researchers to education practitioners. This would enable curriculum development teams to align curriculum and assessment within the classroom, and provide teachers the knowledge and skills needed to effectively use new assessments embedded within the curriculum. To accomplish this, the project will produce hands-on training materials for enhancing teachers' and other educators' capabilities to use, and for some to construct, new forms of student assessments--such as portfolios and hands-on investigations--that are aligned with curricular reform in science and mathematics education. To this end, prototype hands-on training materials will be developed and field tested. Prior to developing the prototype materials, the project will create new assessments, in order to study the steps involved in producing the assessments, and then work with teachers and other educators to find out how best to transfer new test-development technologies from research staff to those involved in classroom and school test development. The final product will be two hands-on training packages, one for providing preservice and inservice teachers with the knowledge and skills to use new assessments and another, building on the first, to provide teachers, graduate students in science education, supervisors, and other educators the knowledge and skills to create and evaluate new assessments. The cost sharing will be a minimum of 13% of the NSF portion.
