Strengthening Science Inquiry, Assessment And Teaching: Professional Development Materials To Instill Ongoing Student Assessment

97-31350卡尔森这个项目为专业发展提供者创建材料，这样他们就可以提高教师促进科学探究的能力，并在初级水平上跟踪学生的学习进展。它建立在以前的一个项目的基础上，该项目以一种与教学、监控学生成长和服务教学相一致的方式使用正在进行的学生评估。具体而言，该项目将设计和试行一套六至八个模块；进行国家实地测试；以及修订、出版和传播材料。通过该项目开发的材料将帮助专业发展专家与教师合作，评估学生在科学方面的进步，同时促进探究。该方法将强调帮助教师提出开放式问题，系统地听取和观察学生，并审查儿童的工作。将开发各种材料，包括笔记、录像带和音频录音。国家科学教育标准将为该项目开展的所有工作提供指导。

97-31350 Carlson This project creates materials for professional development providers so they can enhance teachers' ability to facilitate inquiry science and track student learning progress at the elementary level. It builds on a former project that used ongoing student assessment in a way that is congruent with instruction, monitoring student growth, and serving instruction. Specifically, the project will design and pilot test a set of six to eight modules; conduct national field testing; and revise, publish and disseminate the materials. The materials developed through this project will help professional development specialists work with teachers to assess student progress in science while fostering inquiry. The approach will emphasize helping teachers ask open-ended questions, systematically listen to and observe students, and review children's work. Diverse materials will be developed including notes, video taping, and audio taping. The National Science Education Standards will be the guide for all work conducted by this project.
