Stylinski, Cathlyn Davis; Peterman, Karen; Phillips, Tina; Linhart, Jenna; Becker-Klein, Rachel – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2020
Skill-based outcomes play a prominent role in citizen science experiences as they are situated directly between the dual, intertwining goals of advancing science learning and science research. Regular and transparent assessment of volunteers' science inquiry skills can support these goals, but we lack a comprehensive understanding of how these…

Hild, Pitt; Gut, Christoph; Brückmann, Maja – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: Several different measures have been proposed to solve persistent validity problems, such as high task-sampling variability, in the assessment of students' expertise in 'doing science'. Such measures include working with a-priori progression models, using standardised item shells and rating manuals, augmenting the number of tasks per…

Peer reviewedSolano-Flores, Guillermo; Jovanovic, Jasna; Shavelson, Richard J.; Bachman, Marilyn – International Journal of Science Education, 1999
Describes the construction of assessments on inclines and friction from blueprints--or shells--which address the tasks of planning, hands-on, analysis, and application. Examines the reliability and validity of the assessments as well as the comparability of the assessments generated with the shell. Contains 48 references. (Author/WRM)
