  • 3. Demonstrate understanding of the basic
    knowledge structures of science
  • 4. Solve practical problems
  • 5. Sensitive to the ability and needs of students
  • 6. Enough topics to explore students depth of
    knowledge
  • 7. Multiple formats

47
Assessment Exercises
  • 1. Performance exercises
  • 2. Open-ended paper and pencil items
  • 3. Multiple choice items
  • 4. Opportunity to explain responses
  • Be careful! Language ability doesnt always
    equal science ability!!!!
  • 5. Two phase testing Pre-test to establish
    ability level. Give various tests to match
    independent competency levels.
  • 6. Self-evaluation
  • (Giving hints?)

48
