The Influence of Teachers’ Knowledge on Student Learning in Middle School Physical Science Classrooms
TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship between teacher knowledge and student learning for 9,556 students of 181 middle school physical science teachers and found that a teacher's ability to identify students' most common wrong answer on multiple-choice items, a form of pedagogical content knowledge, is an additional measure of science teacher competence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering Competitions in the Middle School Classroom: Key Elements in Developing Effective Design Challenges
TL;DR: It is found that formulating easily understood goals helps engage students in fascinatingly creative processes that expose the need for a scientific methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Astronomy and Space Science Concept Inventory: Development and Validation of Assessment Instruments Aligned with the K-12 National Science Standards
Philip M. Sadler,Harold P. Coyle,Jaimie L. Miller,Nancy Cook-Smith,Mary Dussault,Roy R. Gould +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the development of an item test bank and associated instruments based on those K-12 national standards which involve astronomy and space science, which reveal a range of interesting results, particularly student difficulties in mastering the NRC Standards and AAAS Benchmarks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Life Science Knowledge of Students and Teachers Represented by the K–8 National Science Standards
Philip M. Sadler,Harold P. Coyle,Nancy Cook Smith,Jaimie L. Miller,Joel J. Mintzes,Kimberly D. Tanner,John P. Murray +6 more
TL;DR: An analysis of the relationship between student and teacher mastery of National Research Council's K8 life sciences content standards is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying Promising Items: The Use of Crowdsourcing in the Development of Assessment Instruments.
TL;DR: In this article, a simulation of a pilot testing protocol, item parameters for 110 life science questions are estimated from 4,043 crowdsourced adult subjects and then compared with those from 20,937 middle school science students.
