Developing Formative Assessment in STEM Classrooms
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-73799-7 (ISBN)
It delves into how formative assessment methods may adapt different features within STEM classroom practices and how formative and summative assessment could be coordinated. The book illustrates how ideas about inquiry and assessment are played out in the classroom, revealing both how the pedagogical approach fits with the assessment choices made and the support that teachers need, to engage with these changes. It both informs and presents some of the challenges related to the uptake and development of inquiry learning in STEM classrooms. The chapters in this volume address three questions:
What formative assessment objectives and methods are relevant and appropriate in science education ?
How do teachers monitor student learning as it unfolds during inquiry-based teaching-learning sequences?
To what extent does a partnership between researchers and teachers make it possible to implement effective assessment methods and acquire relevant professional knowledge?
Taken together, they explore how national educational systems can foster and build the systemic support measures and tools that teachers need to integrate assessment into their classroom practices that fit alongside or within their summative assessment practices. The chapters included in this book were originally published in International Journal of Science Education.
Michel Grangeat is Professor Emeritus of Educational Sciences at University of Grenoble Alpes, France. Michel's research focuses on the activities of professionals in the field of human relations and in collective contexts. The activities studied are those aimed at improving the well-being, development and learning of individuals, whether adults or children. Christine Harrison is Professor of Science Education at King’s College London, UK. Her research focuses on teachers’ conceptualisation of classroom assessment and particularly how Assessment for Learning pedagogy is implemented in STEM classrooms. Her research studies enable her to work alongside teachers through a close-to-practice approach that both learns from and informs practice. Jens Dolin is Professor Emeritus of Science Education at University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has a broad research portfolio in the learning and teaching of science with foci on development of students’ science competences and bildung, especially through cross-curricular education. The last decade the assessment aspects have been central together with addressing and involving policy stakeholders in the educational processes.
