Lay, Yoon Fah; Ng, Khar Thoe – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2021
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an international comparative study that has been implemented by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) since 1995. This proposed study is aimed to identify the correlations of science classroom teachings with eighth graders' science…

Hershkovitz, Arnon; Baker, Ryan S. J. d.; Gobert, Janice; Wixon, Michael; Sao Pedro, Michael – Grantee Submission, 2013
In recent years, an increasing number of analyses in Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining (EDM) have adopted a "Discovery with Models" approach, where an existing model is used as a key component in a new EDM/analytics analysis. This article presents a theoretical discussion on the emergence of discovery with models, its…

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Persky, Hilary; Weiss, Andy; Jenkins, Frank – Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment, 2010
This paper describes a study intended to demonstrate how an emerging skill, problem solving with technology, might be measured in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Two computer-delivered assessment scenarios were designed, one on solving science-related problems through electronic information search and the other on solving…

Gobert, Janice D.; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
The National frameworks for science emphasize inquiry skills (NRC, 1996), however, in typical classroom practice, science learning often focuses on rote learning in part because science process skills are difficult to assess (Fadel, Honey, & Pasnick, 2007) and rote knowledge is prioritized on high-stakes tests. Short answer assessments of…

Odom, Arthur L.; Stoddard, Elizabeth R.; LaNasa, Steven M. – International Journal of Science Education, 2007
We report on the construction and application of an instrument entitled the "Science Achievement Influences Survey" to assess combined effects of student attitudes about science, peer interaction, and home support, and the frequency of student-centred and teacher-centred instructional practices on student achievement. Controlling for pre-test…
