Abstract

This project will bring together knowledge and technology and refine them into an Assessment Design and Delivery System (ADDS) for science learning. ADDS provides both a set of tools and a testbed to investigate factors the impact implementation, effectiveness, and scale-up. Specifically, ADDS provides (1) utilities for individual teachers or teams of teachers to become designers and users of assessments that actionable information to guide their practice and student learning; (2) embeds content, assessment and pedagogical knowledge to assist teachers in both designing assessments and interpreting student progress; and (3) valid results for classroom-based inferences with the potential for aggregation of results for policy uses.
