Shasha Chen; Shaohui Chi; Zuhao Wang – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Interdisciplinary thinking is critical for equipping students to apply scientific knowledge and tackle societal challenges across various disciplines, which has been recognized as a key objective of twenty-first century science education. However, research on effective interdisciplinary assessment in secondary school science education is still…

Robert Kwadwo Siemoh; Prince Duku; Sampson Boye – Discover Education, 2025
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is important for teachers' instructional effectiveness. This study investigated the self-reported level of PCK among in-service elementary school science teachers in a municipality in Ghana, examining the overall level of PCK. An In-Service Elementary Science Teachers Self-Reported PCK (IEST-SR-PCK) scale was…

Mikeska, Jamie N.; Holtzman, Steven; McCaffrey, Daniel F.; Liu, Shuangshuang; Shattuck, Tamara – Science Education, 2019
Despite the prevalent use of observational measures in teacher evaluation systems, research has only recently begun to take into account how aspects of the instructional environment and lesson sampling design may interact with teachers' scores on these measures. Instead, one assumption guiding current evaluation systems is that the variation in…

Unlu, Serkan; Kiray, Seyit Ahmet – Online Submission, 2022
This book has been prepared to introduce common technological tools that can be used in science education in the distance education process. Although most of the applications introduced in the book are used in face-to-face education, this book focuses on their use in the distance science education process. In the Introduction part of the book, the…

Smith, Andy; Leeman-Munk, Samuel; Shelton, Angi; Mott, Bradford; Wiebe, Eric; Lester, James – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Science learning is inherently multimodal, with students utilizing both drawings and writings to explain observations of physical phenomena. As such assessments in science should accommodate the many ways students express their understanding, especially given evidence that understanding is distributed across both drawing and writing. In recent…

Describing Undergraduate STEM Teaching Practices: A Comparison of Instructor Self-Report Instruments
Williams, Cody T.; Walter, Emily M.; Henderson, Charles; Beach, Andrea L. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2015
Background: Collecting data on instructional practices is an important step in planning and enacting meaningful initiatives to improve undergraduate science instruction. Self-report survey instruments are one of the most common tools used for collecting data on instructional practices. This paper is an instrument- and item-level analysis of…

Arjoon, Janelle A.; Xu, Xiaoying; Lewis, Jennifer E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
Many of the instruments developed for research use by the chemistry
education community are relatively new. Because psychometric evidence dictates the validity of interpretations made from test scores, gathering and reporting validity and reliability evidence is of utmost importance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate what…

Oloruntegbe, K. O. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2010
Assessment means many things to many people. There is a plethora of terms and definitions. To measure science-learning outcomes at skills level, assessment was modified and restructured not only in form and context, but in vocabularies and nomenclatures. Thus, there emerged different forms, like alternative, authentic and performance assessments,…

Potgieter, Marietjie; Malatje, Esther; Gaigher, Estelle; Venter, Elsie – International Journal of Science Education, 2010
This study investigated the use of performance-confidence relationships to signal the presence of alternative conceptions and inadequate problem-solving skills in mechanics. A group of 33 students entering physics at a South African university participated in the project. The test instrument consisted of 20 items derived from existing standardised…

Wilson, Mark – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
This article describes some of the underlying conceptualizations that have gone into the work of the BEAR Center in the development of learning progressions. The core of all of these developments has been the construct map, which is the first building block in the BEAR Assessment System (BAS). After introducing the concept of a learning…

Banda, Sekelani S. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
There are concerns in the literature that the use of case-based teaching of anatomy could be compromising the depth and scope of anatomy learned by students in a problem-based learning curriculum. Poor selection of clinical cases that are used as vehicles for teaching/learning anatomy may be the root problem because some clinical cases do not…

Cheung, Derek; And Others – Research in Science Education, 1996
Describes an assessment scheme in Hong Kong and investigates the degree of implementation of school-based assessment for practical science. Identifies five dimensions of implementation and uses three measuring instruments: (1) a student questionnaire; (2) a teacher questionnaire and (3) an observation schedule. Comparative analyses resulted in…

Delpech, Roger – Journal of Biological Education, 2005
"Nuggets" are suggestions with practical advice to help in communicating biology to students. They are shorter than the formal papers and have not been peer-reviewed, but may provide ideas for the classroom. This article presents inexpensive alternative methods for students to measure small volumes of liquids in school biology laboratories.

Fraser, Gillian A.; Crook, Anne C.; Park, Julian R. – Bioscience Education e-Journal, 2007
There has been considerable interest recently in the teaching of skills to undergraduate students. However, existing methods for collating data on how much, where and when students are taught and assessed skills have often been shown to be time-consuming and ineffective. Here, we outline an electronic research skills audit tool that has been…

Toral, S. L.; Barrero, F.; Martinez-Torres, M. R. – Computers & Education, 2007
This paper presents an exploratory study about the development of a structural and measurement model for the technological acceptance (TAM) of a web-based educational tool. The aim consists of measuring not only the use of this tool, but also the external variables with a significant influence in its use for planning future improvements. The tool,…
