The framework and specifications for the National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) science
assessment were developed in 1991-92 and field tested in
1993. The assessment was postponed, however, and will be
administered in 1996. The framework calls for performance-
based tasks that probe students' abilities to use
materials to make observations, perform investigations,
evaluate experimental results, and apply problem-solving
skills, as well as constructed response and multiple
choice items that explore student abilities. The core of
the science framework consists of a three-by-three matrix
that describes earth, physical, and life science and
conceptual understanding, scientific investigation, and
practical reasoning. The hands-on tasks were designed and
developed in prepackaged kits for administration to large
numbers of students. The field tests demonstrated that,
given the constraints and challenges of task development,
those that were selected for the national assessment did
meet the test specifications. Three tables illustrate
test characteristics. (SLD)
