Assessments for Science Teaching

这是一个为期三年的项目的提案，该项目旨在开发供高中理科教师使用的新形式的评估和教学方案。提出了将通过录像带介绍的基于解释和基于程序的评估。最初，评估将基于教材，这些教材用于将当前科学技术感兴趣的主题引入高中课程。这些材料，即科学教学模块，是由大学和工业科学家团队通过罗格斯大学的大学/工业科学家科学模块计划与高中教师合作开发的。该计划将扩展从模块主题中选择的材料，以创建创新的评估和教学方案。这些评估稍后将被扩大，供高中科学教师普遍使用。这将通过罗格斯大学和教育考试服务(ETS)的教职员工与高中理科教师的共同努力来实现。ETS的研究人员一直在领导一系列开发非传统评估模型的努力。ETS计划强调教师在开发评估工具和评估学生表现方面的合作。罗格斯大学和ETS研究人员协会形成了一个合作，利用这两个机构个人的独特优势。*//

This is a proposal for a three year project to develop new forms of assessments and teaching protocols for use by high school science teachers. Explanation-based and procedural-based assessments that will be presented via video tapes are proposed. Initially, the assessments will be based on teaching materials which are used to introduce topics of current interest in science and technology into high school courses. These materials, science teaching modules, have been developed by teams of university and industrial scientists working collaboratively with high school teachers through the University/industry scientists Science Modules Program at Rutgers University. This program will extend materials selected from module topics to create innovative assessments and teaching protocols. These assessments will later be broadened for general use by high school science teachers. This will be accomplished through the joint efforts of faculty and staff from Rutgers University and Educational Testing Service (ETS) working with high school science teachers. ETS researchers have been leading a number of efforts involved in developing non- traditional assessment models. The ETS programs emphasize teacher collaboration in the development of assessment instruments and in the assessment of student performance. The association of Rutgers and ETS researchers forms a collaboration that draws upon the unique strengths of individuals from both institutions. *** //
