Download or read book Learning Progressions in Science written by Alicia C. Alonzo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning progressions – descriptions of increasingly sophisticated ways of thinking about or understanding a topic (National Research Council, 2007) – represent a promising framework for developing organized curricula and meaningful assessments in science. In addition, well-grounded learning progressions may allow for coherence between cognitive models of how understanding develops in a given domain, classroom instruction, professional development, and classroom and large-scale assessments. Because of the promise that learning progressions hold for bringing organization and structure to often disconnected views of how to teach and assess science, they are rapidly gaining popularity in the science education community. However, there are signi?cant challenges faced by all engaged in this work. In June 2009, science education researchers and practitioners, as well as scientists, psychometricians, and assessment specialists convened to discuss these challenges as part of the Learning Progressions in Science (LeaPS) conference. The LeaPS conference provided a structured forum for considering design decisions entailed in four aspects of work on learning progressions: de?ning learning progressions; developing assessments to elicit student responses relative to learning progressions; modeling and interpreting student performance with respect to a learning progressions; and using learning progressions to in?uence standards, curricula, and teacher education. This book presents speci?c examples of learning progression work and syntheses of ideas from these examples and discussions at the LeaPS conference.

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.

Download or read book Less Than Proficient A Review of the Draft Science Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress written by Paul R. Gross and published by . 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.].

Download or read book Engineering in K-12 Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering education in K-12 classrooms is a small but growing phenomenon that may have implications for engineering and also for the other STEM subjects-science, technology, and mathematics. Specifically, engineering education may improve student learning and achievement in science and mathematics, increase awareness of engineering and the work of engineers, boost youth interest in pursuing engineering as a career, and increase the technological literacy of all students. The teaching of STEM subjects in U.S. schools must be improved in order to retain U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and to develop a workforce with the knowledge and skills to address technical and technological issues. Engineering in K-12 Education reviews the scope and impact of engineering education today and makes several recommendations to address curriculum, policy, and funding issues. The book also analyzes a number of K-12 engineering curricula in depth and discusses what is known from the cognitive sciences about how children learn engineering-related concepts and skills. Engineering in K-12 Education will serve as a reference for science, technology, engineering, and math educators, policy makers, employers, and others concerned about the development of the country's technical workforce. The book will also prove useful to educational researchers, cognitive scientists, advocates for greater public understanding of engineering, and those working to boost technological and scientific literacy.

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. A bibliography is included. (Contains 21 exhibits.).

Download or read book Science Assessment and Item Specifications for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress written by National Assessment Governing Board and published by . 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.)
