Auto Feedback 3DLP:Evaluating Effects of Automatic Feedback Aligned to a Learning Progression to Promote Knowledge-in-Use
The 3DLP project develops and tests a learning progression for middle school physical science that incorporates the three dimensions identified in Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS): the Disciplinary Core Ideas of matter, interaction, and energy; the Science and Engineering Practices of constructing explanations and developing and using models; and the Crosscutting Concepts of cause and effect and systems and system models.
Supporting Instructional Decision Making (PASTA)
The significant shortage of workers in STEM careers is partially due to ineffective instructional practice. Among these, the value of educational assessment practice has been increasingly questioned to the point that assessments are perceived as negative, not informative, and may even be detrimental to students.
