Foundations of 21st Century Science Assessments

提案：08147776 pi: Quallmalz， EdysInstitution: WestEdPROJECT摘要：该项目通过基于技术的科学测试来解决现有评估的适用性，以衡量学生应该知道什么和能够做什么。研究人员将设计新的评估方法，以收集复杂科学学习的证据，并将科学和数学实践中的最新变化纳入其中。他们将研究如何应用新一代动态科学评估，其构建效度，并比较学生在静态，主动和互动模式下的任务和项目的表现。该项目将提供有关技术增强评估任务和项目的构建有效性的新信息，这些任务和项目旨在衡量复杂的科学学习。研究人员比较了动态（主动和互动）评估任务和旨在衡量相同复杂学习的静态格式评估任务的结构效度。他们希望能够确定科学评估任务设计结构类型的原则，这些结构结合技术来引出科学系统的知识和探究能力。这项调查是与美国科学促进会（AAAS）合作进行的。

Proposal: 0814776PI: Quallmalz, EdysInstitution: WestEdPROJECT SUMMARYThis project addresses the suitability of available assessments for measuring what students should know and be able to do in science using a technology-based science tests. The investigators will design new assessments to gather evidence of complex science learning that incorporate recent changes in the practice of science and mathematics. They will conduct research on how to apply a new generation of dynamic science assessments, their construct validity and compare student performance on tasks and items in static, active, and interactive modes. The project will provide new information on the construct validity of technology-enhanced assessment tasks and items designed to measure complex science learning. The investigators compare the construct validity of dynamic (both active and interactive) assessment tasks to those of static formats intended to measure the same complex learning. They hope to be able to identify principles for types of science assessment task design structures that incorporate technology to elicit knowledge of science systems and inquiry abilities. The investigation is in collaboration with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
