  1. THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS: PRELIMINARY REFLECTIONS ON ASSESSMENTS A Presentation for BUILDING CAPACITY FOR STATE SCIENCE EDUCATION (BCSSE) Rodger W. Bybee Hilton North Raleigh Raleigh, North Carolina February 24-25, 2012

  2. THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS: PRELIMINARY REFLECTIONS ON ASSESSMENTS • INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW • A FRAMEWORK FOR K-12 SCIENCE STANDARDS • THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS • INNOVATIONS, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES • CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGES • CONCLUSION

  3. SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES • Asking questions [for science] and defining problems [for engineering] • Developing and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Constructing explanations [for science] and designing solutions [for engineering] • Engaging in argument from evidence • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

  4. DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEAS Physical Sciences PS 1: Matter and its interactions PS 2: Motion and stability: Forces and interactions PS 3: Energy PS 4: Waves and their applications in technologies for information transfer Life Sciences LS 1: From molecules to organisms: Structures and processes LS 2: Ecosystems: Interactions, energy, and dynamics LS 3: Heredity: Inheritance and variation of traits LS 4: Biological Evolution: Unity and diversity Earth and Space Sciences ESS 1: Earth’s place in the universe ESS 2: Earth’s systems ESS 3: Earth and human activity Engineering, Technology, and the Applications of Science ETS 1: Engineering design ETS 2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and society

  5. CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS • Patterns • Cause and Effect: Mechanism and Explanation • Scale, Proportion, and Quantity • Systems and System Models • Energy and Matter: Focus, Cycles, and Conservation • Structure and Function • Stability and Change

  6. THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS: INNOVATIONS • Performance Expectations • Integrating the Three Dimensions • Practices • Core Ideas • Crosscutting Concepts

  7. AN EXAMPLE OF A STANDARD Students can:

  8. EVIDENCE OF COMMON ANCESTRY AND DIVERSITY Students can: • SOME ISSUES TO DISCUSS • The performance expectation is clear and the practice, idea, and concepts are described. • WHAT IS A POSSIBLE INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE?

  9. EVIDENCE OF COMMON ANCESTRY AND DIVERSITY Students can: SOME ISSUES TO DISCUSS • The performance expectation is clear and the practice, idea, and concepts are described. WHAT IS THE ASSESSMENT?

  10. ASSESSING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS • Do the assessments represent the whole standard? Is the whole greater than the sum of the parts? • Standard vs. Statements of Performance Expectations • Science and Engineering Practices • Disciplinary Core Ideas • Crosscutting Concepts

  11. TIME TO BE CREATIVE EXPAND YOUR VISION BY THINKING OF INNOVATIVE WAYS TO ASSESS THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENCE STANDARDS End-of-Course Assessments Practical Tests Observations Performance Investigations Presentations PISA-type Units Fieldwork Selected Response Computer Simulations/Modeling Open Response Portfolios Interpreting Graphs, Tables, Figures Concept Mapping Video

  12. DESIGNING AN ASSESSMENT FOR A STANDARD Matter and Energy in Ecosystems Describe the assessment(s): Grade Level of Administration: Middle School, High School Type of Context(s): Comprehensive, End-of-Course, Other Scoring and Reporting: Machine, Individual, Combination Unit of Report: State, District, School, Student

  13. CONCLUSION THANK YOU
