8 paź 2012 · This paper addresses the importance of assessment in science learning and presents a review of the development, in particular, of two-tier multiple-choice diagnostic instruments that have been reported in the science education research literature and suggests that their development and use can make an important contribution to improving ...
In order for science teachers’ pedagogy to be more effective, diagnostic formative assessment methods are needed because research suggests that current assessment procedures distort and narrow instruction, misrepresent the nature of the subject, and underscore inequities in access to education
In fact, as Lijnse (2000) points out, science education research offers little direct or specific guidance to teachers about how best to teach specific topics to specific groups of learners. There are, of course, some examples of teaching sequences and programmes for school science
In order to enhance the diagnostic power of the assessments, we use three different types of test tasks for assessing the development of students’ scientific reasoning, their scientific literacy and their scientific expert knowledge.
Diagnostic questions are a key means of identifying students difficulties in science, and it is important that the evidence they provide about students thinking is used formatively to adapt subsequent teaching.
This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the developed diagnostic assessment test and to identify student misconceptions in science in terms of school grades. 153 students were gathered by using random sample from 10th to 12th grade in senior high schools.
