SCIENCE ASSESSMENT: RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL APPROACHES FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS

两次会议将传播科学评价领域的研究和最佳做法。会议的主持人将是最近nsf资助的项目的首席研究员，该项目研究了评估大学预科学生科学理解的方法。目标受众是3 - 12年级的科学教师、科学主管、学校管理人员和专业发展提供者。以美国国家科学促进会最近主办的题为“课堂中科学与读写能力的联系”的会议为蓝本，提议的会议形式将是全体会议、小组报告和小组讨论会议的结合。发言者还将为会议结束后出版的一本书提供章节，使更多的读者可以阅读。设立了一个评估专家咨询委员会，以指导会议规划进程。

Two conferences would disseminate research and best practices in the domain of science assessment. The conference presenters would be the Principal Investigators of recent NSF-funded projects that studied approaches to assessing the science understanding of pre-college students. The intended audience would be grades 3 - 12 teachers of science, science supervisors, school administrators and professional development providers. Modeled after a recent NSTA-sponsored conference entitled "The Linking of Science and Literacy in the Classroom," the proposed conference format would be a combination of plenary sessions, panel presentations and small group discussion sessions. The presenters would also contribute chapters to a book to be published following the conference, extending the dissemination to a much larger audience. An Advisory Board of assessment experts has been established to guide the conference planning process.
