SAVE Science • 5 year project • Motivation: • Text based high stakes test • Separation of inquiry and content • Design a series of modules • 7th and 8th grades • Assess local curriculum • Integrate scientific inquiry with content
Research Questions • Three areas • Insights into student • Understanding • Self-efficacy • Issues of cognitive load • Teacher practices/acceptances
Teacher Acceptance • Guided by • Schifter model of teacher uptake of technology • Time on task, technical and social support • Previous Experiences • One on one works best but unsustainable • Fully online sustainable but ineffective • Success with hybrid, teacher videos, personal experiences
Issues How do we manage this new datastream as an authentic data for assessment? How do we get teachers/schools to buy in to this?
