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) | |
