Vitale, Jonathan M.; Lai, Kevin; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
We present a new system for automated scoring of graph construction items that address complex science concepts, feature qualitative prompts, and support a range of possible solutions. This system utilizes analysis of spatial features (e.g., slope of a line) to evaluate potential student ideas represented within graphs. Student ideas are then…
