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

小杰雷斯9730438 评价学习是一个基于技术的高中物理评价系统，它集成了形成性评价和教学。 评估项目与建构主义和主动学习理论相一致，它们考虑到了物理教育的研究，包括对学生先入之见的阐述。 学生评估自己的学习，教师被引导量身定制教学，以满足学生的需要。 课堂软件工具Clastalk系统提供了一个综合软件包，可以展示课堂讨论的项目，收集和存储学生个人的回答，并显示总的课堂回答。 合理的评估和即时反馈的结合导致教师改变实践，采用更敏感的教学风格，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。 考核项目包括力学、电磁场、电路、波、光学、近代物理等。 该项目是一个合作的PI，教师从高中，更好的教育公司。德州仪器 产品包括评估项目和附带的教师辅助工具，用于确定学生常见反应的原因，并为后续活动和讨论提供指导。 广泛的评估提供了学生成绩，教师实践的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.
