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) |
