Session Summary

Considering Classroom Assessment in K–12 Math and Science Classes: Four Perspectives

Sun, April 11, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Classroom Assessment Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Learn how a mathematics learning trajectory-based classroom assessment system functioned, about authentic assessments designed to promote girls’ self-efficacy in STEM, about the development and validation of a student self-report survey to capture student perceptions of science assessment tasks, and consider two paradigms for formative assessment and their consequences for students’ opportunity to participate in science learning. While the quantitative and conceptual papers in this session focus on math and science students, the papers’ findings, claims, and perspectives raise important questions for K-12 classroom assessment beyond STEM.
