The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs). Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.This project will use cycles of design-based research to build new knowledge about how to facilitate teachers' interpretation and use of digital game-based formative assessment data. The research will also inform the revision and expansion of Playfully, an existing, online data-reporting dashboard that can be used with multiple digital games. The project is a collaboration between researchers at Education Development Center Inc.'s Center for Children and Technology (EDC|CCT) and the assessment and game development teams at GlassLab. The research and development teams will engage in a three-year partnership with 60 middle-grade science teachers working in diverse school settings in different parts of the country. The aim of the project is to refine an online formative assessment platform that utilizes data from a video game designed to teach argumentation at the middle school level. It provides rigorous research on the design features of data tools and associated materials available to teachers to inform their ongoing instruction (i.e., formative assessment tools) when using game-based platforms.Dissemination of the results of this project will include practical, evidence-based suggestions for supporting middle school science teachers' use of digital games for assessment, and for the design and implementation of data dashboards. Key audiences include educational game designers, game-based assessment developers, formative assessment experts, and leaders in middle grade science teaching and learning.

发现研究 K-12 计划 (DRK-12) 旨在通过创新资源、模型和工具 (RMT) 的研究和开发，显着增强 PreK-12 学生和教师对科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 的学习和教学。 DRK-12 计划中的项目建立在 STEM 教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，为拟议项目提供理论和实证依据。该项目将利用基于设计的研究周期来建立关于如何促进教师解释和使用基于数字游戏的形成性评估数据的新知识。该研究还将为 Playively 的修订和扩展提供信息，Playively 是一个现有的在线数据报告仪表板，可用于多种数字游戏。 该项目是教育发展中心公司儿童与技术中心 (EDC|CCT) 的研究人员与 GlassLab 的评估和游戏开发团队之间的合作。研究和开发团队将与在全国不同地区不同学校环境中工作的 60 名中级科学教师建立为期三年的合作伙伴关系。该项目的目的是完善一个在线形成性评估平台，该平台利用旨在教授中学辩论的视频游戏的数据。它对数据工具和相关材料的设计特征进行了严格的研究，供教师在使用基于游戏的平台时为他们的持续教学（即形成性评估工具）提供信息。该项目结果的传播将包括实用的、基于证据的建议，以支持中学科学教师使用数字游戏进行评估，以及数据仪表板的设计和实施。主要受众包括教育游戏设计师、基于游戏的评估开发人员、形成性评估专家以及中年级科学教学的领导者。
