Designing Transformative Assessments for Interdisciplinary Learning in Science

该提案已提交给科学与工程教育研究与评估（REESE）计划的促进教育跨学科研究（FIRE）活动，该计划旨在汇集来自不同学科的研究人员。该项目名为“为科学跨学科学习设计变革性评估（细节）”，旨在设计和实施技术增强的形成性评估，以帮助大学生整合科学知识并解决跨学科的复杂问题。具体来说，研究人员将以与物理学密切相关的生理环境中的基本生物过程为目标。这些评估将适用于选修物理、生物、生理学和科学教育入门课程的大学生。项目PI受过物理和物理教育方面的培训，将在导师（共同PI；生理学家）的指导下进行研究，以扩展其生理学知识。这种经历将有助于研究者更好地开展科学评估方面的进一步研究，促进跨学科思维，特别是在物理、生理学和相关领域。

This proposal was submitted to the Fostering Interdisciplinary Research in Education (FIRE) activity of the Research and Evaluation in Science and Engineering Education (REESE) Program, which is designed to bring together investigators from diverse disciplines.This project, Designing Transformative Assessments for Interdisciplinary Learning in Science (DeTAILS), aims to design and implement technology-enhanced formative assessments to help college students integrate scientific knowledge and solve complex problems across disciplines. Specifically, researchers will target fundamental biological processes in physiological contexts that are closely related to physics. The assessments will be administered to college students enrolled in introductory physics, biology, physiology, and science education courses. The project PI, trained in both physics and physics education, will conduct the research under the supervision of the mentor (co-PI; physiologist) to expand his knowledge in physiology. This experience will help the investigator better conduct further research in science assessment to promote interdisciplinary thinking, particularly in physics, physiology, and related fields.
