Improving assessment in science through the use of students' perceptions

该项目的目的是以学生为服务对象，提供信息，从而改进中学一级的科学评估。它汇集了教育研究的三个组成部分，以前没有概念化的一项研究：学生的评价任务的看法，学生的师生互动的看法，和学生对科学的态度。目前国际上强调以结果为基础的教育，重点关注评估作为学生学习的一个重要组成部分，使这项研究及时。了解这三个研究组成部分之间的关系将导致教学和学习科学的改进。

The aim of the project is to focus on students as the clients and generate information resulting in an improvement in the assessment of science at middle school level. It brings together three components of educational research not previously conceptualised in the one study: students' perceptions of assessment tasks, students' perceptions of teacher-student interactions, and students' attitudes towards science. The current international emphasis on outcomes-based education has focused attention on assessment as a crucial component in student learning and makes this research timely. Understanding the relationships among the three research components will lead to improvements in teaching and learning science.
