This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets forth recommendations for the design of a new science assessment. The assessment resulting from this framework will start a new NAEP science trend (i.e., measure of student progress in science) beginning in 2009. This framework represents a unique opportunity to build on previous NAEP science work as well as key developments in science standards, assessments, and research. This document is intended to inform the general public, educators, policymakers, and others about what students are expected to know and be able to do in science as part of The Nation's Report Card, a program of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) that reports on NAEP findings. This 2009 framework presents the content to be assessed as well as the conceptual base for the assessment. The new framework incorporates several key features. Its design is based on widely accepted national science standards and assessments in addition to state curriculum standards. However, it is intended to inform development of an assessment, not to advocate for a particular approach to instruction or to represent the entire range of science content and skills. In view of the need to keep the United States and its youth internationally competitive in science and technology, the framework development process gave special consideration to international assessment frameworks, such as those for Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The breadth of the science principles represented in the source materials made it necessary to focus on the foundational and pervasive knowledge within each discipline and to pare down the science content to be assessed. The framework is based on scientific knowledge and processes derived from tested explanations and supported by accumulated empirical evidence. Explanations of natural phenomena that rely on nonscientific views are not reflected in the framework. Science content is presented in detailed, grade-specific charts that also allow the reader to see the progression in complexity of ideas across grades. Every attempt has been made to be free of error in describing the science content. The language used strives to be accurate but not technical so as to make the framework accessible to a wide audience. The focus is on students' conceptual understanding, that is, their knowledge and use of science facts, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Students' abilities to engage in some components of scientific inquiry and technological design are also reflected in the framework. New types of items are recommended, including the use of interactive computer tasks. This document contains four chapters: (1) Overview; (2) Science Content; (3) Science Practices; and (4) Overview of the Assessment Design. Appended are: (A) Steering Committee Guidelines; (B) NAEP Science Preliminary Achievement Level Descriptions; (C) Sample Items and Scoring Guides; and (D) Group 2 Small-Scale Special Studies. (Contains 24 exhibits and a bibliography.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and its reports are a key measure in informing the nation on how well the goal of scientific literacy for all students is being met. The "Science Framework for the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress" sets forth the design of the NAEP Science Assessment. The 2011 NAEP Science Assessment will use the same framework used in 2009. The 2009 NAEP Science Assessment started a new NAEP science trend (i.e., measure of student progress in science), and the 2011 NAEP Science Report Card will include student performance trends from 2009 to 2011. Trends in student science achievement were reported from 1996 to 2005 as well. However, the trend from 1996 to 2005 was not continued due to major differences between the 2005 and 2009 frameworks. The new framework represents a unique opportunity to build on key developments in science standards, assessments, and research. This document is intended to inform the general public, educators, policymakers, and others about what students are expected to know and be able to do in science as part of The Nation's Report Card, a program of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) that reports on NAEP findings. This report contains the following chapters: (1) Overview; (2) Science Content; (3) Science Practices; and (4) Overview of the Assessment Design. Appendices include: (1) Steering Committee Guidelines; (2) NAEP Science Achievement Level Descriptions; (3) Sample Items and Scoring Guides; and (4) Group 2 Small-Scale Special Studies.

Download or read book A Framework for K-12 Science Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of this review is to appraise the new draft NAEP science framework and to determine whether it is up to snuff. This is an evaluation of the September 30, 2005, draft document, Science Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress (Framework), developed for the National Assessment Governing Board. The criteria is listed first and that is followed with an account of their application to the reviewing task. The review then expresses the quantitative outcome as a set of average scores for each of 21 criteria, then as the average summed score for all criteria (the "raw" score), and finally as a conversion to an average percentage score ("final score"). On the basis of the final score, a letter grade is assigned the Framework, using the familiar A through F scale. A series of short summary statements responds to questions on which NAGB seeks feedback. In closing, it seeks briefly to justify this response; that is, to convey appreciation of some qualities of the Framework and concerns about others, and to make some recommendations. Following the Foreword, (Chester E. Finn, Jr., and Michael J. Petrilli), and the Introduction, table of contents for this report is organized in the following manner: (1) Criteria; (2) Number and Letter Grade; (3) Responses to NAGB Questions; (4) Plaudits; (5) Concerns; and (6) Recommendations. Appended are: (A) Science Errors and Misleading Statements; and (B) Biographical Sketches of Author and Reviewers. [Written with assistance from Lawrence S. Lerner, Susan Haack, Martha Schwartz, and Richard Schwartz.].

This book was released on 2007 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Science Assessment and Item Specifications for the 2009 NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress)" (the "Specifications") translates the "Science Framework for the 2009 NAEP" (the "Framework") into guidelines for developing items and for developing the assessment as a whole. The primary purpose of the "Specifications" is to provide the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the NAEP assessment development contractor with information to ensure that the NAEP Science Assessment reflects the intent of the National Assessment Governing Board's (NAGB) science framework development process. The "Specifications" are structured so that the assessment developer and item writers have a single document to which to refer when they are working on the assessment. Therefore, portions of the "Framework" that specify characteristics of the assessment or items are repeated in the "Specifications". Portions of the "Specifications" are drawn from and informed by the 1996-2005 "Science Assessment and Exercise Specifications for the National Assessment of Educational Progress" and the "2005 NAEP Mathematics Assessment and Item Specifications". The extensive "Appendices" include lists of members of the Steering Committee and Planning Committee, the Steering Committee's guidelines for development of the "Framework" and "Specifications," NAEP Science preliminary achievement level descriptions, sample items and scoring guides, additional special studies, examples of generating and interpreting items, detail on learning progressions, and the NAEP Item Development and Review Policy Statement. (Contains 4 figures, 33 tables, 49 footnotes, and a bibliography.)

Book excerpt: This policy research document is intended for policymakers to use when examining possible changes to the state assessment's alignment with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The 2009 NAEP test is not yet in existence, so the purpose of this report is to give policymakers a headstart in determining where they might, if they so decide, begin to make changes in their assessment standards and specifications to develop an assessment system more closely aligned to that used for the NAEP. This report presents the findings of an alignment study comparing the new science framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the accompanying science assessment and item specifications with the Texas state science assessment. The study was conducted for the Regional Education Laboratory Southwest, funded by the Institute of Education Sciences to provide research and support to Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The study was undertaken in anticipation of a growing need in the region to be better informed about how state assessment standards in science compare with those tested in the NAEP. The intent of this report is to inform those in the Texas Education Agency responsible for shaping the state assessment in science how the current assessment standards and test specifications compare with those of the national NAEP 2009 assessment. It is hoped that this study will be of use to policymakers and others in the state who are interested in the Texas state assessments in science. The following are appended: (1) The documents compared; (2) How the study was conducted; (3) Content alignment for grade 4; (4) Content alignment for grade 8; and (5) Content alignment for grade 12. (Contains 4 figures, 1 box, and 16 tables.)

This book was released on 2011 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by a new framework, the NAEP science assessment was updated in 2009 to keep the content current with key developments in science, curriculum standards, assessments, and research. The 2009 framework organizes science content into three broad content areas. Physical science includes concepts related to properties and changes of matter, forms of energy, energy transfer and conservation, position and motion of objects, and forces affecting motion. Life science includes concepts related to organization and development, matter and energy transformations, interdependence, heredity and reproduction, and evolution and diversity. Earth and space sciences includes concepts related to objects in the universe, the history of the Earth, properties of Earth materials, tectonics, energy in Earth systems, climate and weather, and biogeochemical cycles. In 2009, the average score of fourth-grade students in Florida was 151. This was not significantly different from the average score of 149 for public school students in the nation. The percentage of students in Florida who performed at or above the NAEP "Proficient" level was 32 percent in 2009. This percentage was not significantly different from the nation (32 percent). The percentage of students in Florida who performed at or above the NAEP "Basic" level was 75 percent in 2009. This percentage was greater than the nation (71 percent).
