Assessing-to-Learn: Formative Assessment Materials for High School Physics

9730438格雷斯学习评估是一个集形成性评估和教学于一体的基于技术的高中物理评估系统。评估项目符合建构主义和主动学习教学法；他们考虑到对物理教育的研究，包括对学生先入为主观念的阐释。学生评估自己的学习，并指导教师定制教学，以满足学生的需求。Classtalk系统是一个课堂软件工具，它提供了一个集成的包，可以展示课堂讨论的项目，收集和存储单个学生的回答，并显示全班的回答。健全的评估和即时反馈的结合导致教师改变实践，采用更具响应性的教学风格，并将评估与物理教育的目标相匹配-理解物理概念和探究过程，并将这些概念应用于解决问题。评估项目包括力学、电场和磁场、电路、波、光学和现代物理。该项目是pi、高中教师、Better Education公司和德州仪器的合作项目。产品包括评估项目和随附的教师辅助工具，以确定学生普遍反应的原因，并为后续活动和讨论提供指导。广泛的评估提供了有关学生成绩、教师实践变化和发展过程的信息。

9730438 Gerace Assessing to Learn is a technology-based assessment system for high school physics that integrates formative assessment and instruction. The assessment items are consistent with constructivist and active learning pedagogies; they take account of research into physics education including the elucidation of student preconceptions. Students evaluate their own learning and teachers are guided to tailor instruction to meet student needs. The Classtalk system, a classroom software tool, provides an integrated package that allows presentation of the items for class discussion, collection and storage of individual student responses and a display of total class responses. The combination of sound assessment and immediate feedback results in teachers changing practice to adopt a more responsive instructional style and matching the assessment to the goals of physics education - understanding of physics concepts and the process of inquiry, and application of those concepts to engage in problem solving. The assessment items cover mechanics, electric and magnetic fields, circuits, waves, optics, and modern physics. The project is a collaboration of the PIs, teachers from high schools, Better Education, Inc. and Texas Instruments. Products include the assessment items and accompanying teacher aids that identify the reasons for common student responses and give guidance on follow-up activities and discussion. The extensive evaluation provides information on student achievement, change in teacher practice and on the development process.
