Mehl, Cathy Ellen; Jin, Hui; Llort, Kenneth F. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Argumentation is an important component of scientific education (Osborne, 2010). However, how students create and evaluate competing arguments in scientific investigations is a complex construct, which presents significant challenges for assessment. We engaged 349 middle and high school students in a virtual scientific investigation based on an…

Bilgin, Ali; Boedeker, Peter; Capraro, Robert M.; Capraro, Mary M. – Online Submission, 2015
Vocabulary is at the surface level of language usage; thus, students need to develop mathematical and scientific vocabulary to be able to explicitly communicate their mathematical and scientific reasoning with others. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) have both created…

Ketelhut, Diane Jass; Nelson, Brian; Schifter, Catherine; Kim, Younsu – Education Sciences, 2013
Current science assessments typically present a series of isolated fact-based questions, poorly representing the complexity of how real-world science is constructed. The National Research Council asserts that this needs to change to reflect a more authentic model of science practice. We strongly concur and suggest that good science assessments…
