Coupled with the priority of future prosperity and health of Australia; this project aims to establish a body of research that facilitates excellence in assessing learning. Research studies have identified concerns about the nature and effectiveness of assessment practices. This project, by taking an innovative perspective on assessment issues in secondary science, when student future plans geminate, has the potential to lay the foundation for more effective learning, increased retention into post-compulsory science and enhanced science literacy. By focusing on effective representational assessment strategies, the project has the capacity to enhance teachers' pedagogy and student learning, resulting in a more scientific literate society.
