Research shows that traditional achievement tests do not measure a broad range of science processes, process skills, or higher order thinking skills; instead they measure the ability to recall facts & a student's ability to recognize information from a textbook. The resources highlighted in this issue of ENC Focus approach assessment in two different ways. First, the editor & authors chose curriculum materials that include a substantial section on assessment with the assessments being an integral part of the curriculum itself. Second, they chose materials that specifically address the professional development of teachers. Illustrations.

This volume explores current policies, theory, research, and practice in science assessment. It presents useful material to make assessment a tool for the meaningful reform of school science. Leading authors summarize current knowledge and research on science learning and testing, including examples of programs currently in use in several important states. The chapters provide examples of innovative test items for classroom use and state assessment programs, and present information on new assessment technologies including computer-based approaches. Finally, the authors make recommendations for future policy and research directions for science and mathematics assessment and test development. Special coverage includes: *both background information and theoretical perspectives and examples of research on alternative assessment strategies; *a focus on equity issues relevant to science assessment; *a discussion of how the recent changes not only in teaching and learning but in national and state policies imply the need for new approaches to assessment; *information on assessment in the context of hands-on science teaching, inquiry, cooperative learning, and other process-oriented teaching strategies; and *important chapters offering an international perspective such as a historical review of assessment in Europe and examples from current assessment approaches in England.

Focusing on the elementary and secondary grades, this book explores current theory, research, practice, and policy in the assessment of higher order thinking in mathematics. The chapter authors combine current knowledge and research on mathematics learning and testing to provide examples of innovative test items for classroom use and state assessment programs, and present information on new assessment technologies, including computer-based approaches. Special coverage includes: * both background information and theoretical perspectives and examples of research on alternative assessment strategies; * a broad perspective on assessing higher-order thinking, including problem solving, consistent with recent work such as the NCTM Standards documents; * a discussion of how the recent changes not only in teaching and learning but in our world view of mathematics education imply the need for new approaches to assessment; and * information on assessment in the context of technology (calculators and computers) with illustrations of both practical and long-term issues.

Assessments, understood as tools for tracking what and how well students have learned, play a critical role in the classroom. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards develops an approach to science assessment to meet the vision of science education for the future as it has been elaborated in A Framework for K-12 Science Education (Framework) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These documents are brand new and the changes they call for are barely under way, but the new assessments will be needed as soon as states and districts begin the process of implementing the NGSS and changing their approach to science education. The new Framework and the NGSS are designed to guide educators in significantly altering the way K-12 science is taught. The Framework is aimed at making science education more closely resemble the way scientists actually work and think, and making instruction reflect research on learning that demonstrates the importance of building coherent understandings over time. It structures science education around three dimensions - the practices through which scientists and engineers do their work, the key crosscutting concepts that cut across disciplines, and the core ideas of the disciplines - and argues that they should be interwoven in every aspect of science education, building in sophistication as students progress through grades K-12. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards recommends strategies for developing assessments that yield valid measures of student proficiency in science as described in the new Framework. This report reviews recent and current work in science assessment to determine which aspects of the Framework's vision can be assessed with available techniques and what additional research and development will be needed to support an assessment system that fully meets that vision. The report offers a systems approach to science assessment, in which a range of assessment strategies are designed to answer different kinds of questions with appropriate degrees of specificity and provide results that complement one another. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards makes the case that a science assessment system that meets the Framework's vision should consist of assessments designed to support classroom instruction, assessments designed to monitor science learning on a broader scale, and indicators designed to track opportunity to learn. New standards for science education make clear that new modes of assessment designed to measure the integrated learning they promote are essential. The recommendations of this report will be key to making sure that the dramatic changes in curriculum and instruction signaled by Framework and the NGSS reduce inequities in science education and raise the level of science education for all students.

To explore the connections between new approaches to science education and new developments in assessment, the Board on Testing and Assessment (BOTA) of the National Research Council (NRC) sponsored a two-day conference on February 22 and 23, 1997. Participants included BOTA members, other measurement experts, and educators and policymakers concerned with science education reform. The conference encouraged the exchange of ideas between those with measurement expertise and those with creative approaches to instruction and assessment.

This book describes how middle school science teachers, in collaboration with a team of researchers, tried to improve their everyday assessment practices to enhance student learning. It discusses the challenges they faced, the differences among the teachers, and the personal nature of deep educational change. A product of CAPITAL (Classroom Assessment Project to Improve Teaching and Learning), a research effort supported by the National Science Foundation, this book: Uses classroom stories to show how teachers can use a variety of formative assessment techniques to answer questions they have about their teaching.; Provides real-life examples of teachers grappling with new practices at a personal level, in their own settings and in light of their own values and beliefs; Offers suggestions for designing professional development efforts that recognize the significant variation among teachers in how they go about changing their assessment practices ; Outlines principles and practices that must accompany change in the classroom if it is to be more than superficial.

Developing a positive attitude towards science and mathematics is essential to developing proficiency in these subjects. Recognizing this, Bringing Science and Mathematics to Life for All Learners provides interesting teaching methods and connects them to recent pedagogical approaches that span the scientific and mathematical curricula. It builds upon the expanding knowledge of what works in classrooms, and suggests how new approaches to teaching and learning can transform science and mathematics instructions. The book is designed to help students in learning science and mathematics. It has many research-based and standards-driven activities, lesson plans, and active learning techniques to reach diverse student groups. Active group engagement and continuity in scientific and mathematical experiences are stressed as motivating factors for students. Presented in a creative manner, the ultimate goal of this book is to deepen the collective conversation, challenge existing ways of thinking, and provide up-to-date tools for educators so that they can help improve the science and mathematics skill levels of others.
