Session Summary

Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives and Tensions in Developing 3-D Classroom Assessment That Promote Equity

Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session seeks to articulate theoretical and methodological assumptions behind the approaches to design 3D classroom assessments with the commitment of equity. With the implementation of Next Generation Science Standards, there are increasing efforts to design and use 3D assessments. This symposium brings together six research teams from eight institutions in the US who have engaged in long-term partnerships with teachers, districts, and states to design and use 3D assessments in classrooms. Each of the presenters will share their approaches, assessment artifacts and unpack their theoretical and methodological perspectives. This section directly responds to this year’s theme, “The power and possibilities for the public good when researchers and organizational stakeholders collaborate” by highlighting the impact of the partnership.
