Foundations of 21st Century Science Assessments

建议：0814776PI：QUALMALZ，EdyInstitution：WestEdPROJECT SUMMARY这个项目解决了可用评估的适宜性，以衡量学生使用基于技术的科学测试在科学方面应该知道什么和能够做什么。研究人员将设计新的评估，以收集复杂科学学习的证据，包括科学和数学实践中最近的变化。他们将就如何应用新一代动态科学评估及其结构效度进行研究，并在静态、主动和互动模式下比较学生在任务和项目上的表现。该项目将提供关于旨在衡量复杂科学学习的技术强化评估任务和项目的结构效度的新信息。研究人员比较了动态(主动和互动)评估任务和静态形式评估任务的结构效度，这些评估任务旨在测量相同的复杂学习。他们希望能够确定各种类型的科学评估任务设计结构的原则，这些结构包含了获取科学系统知识和探究能力的技术。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).
