Performance Assessment in Science.
Shavelson, Richard J.; And Others
Applied Measurement in Education, v4 n4 p347-62 1991
Guidelines for developing performance assessments in science education allied with current research and reform are presented. The guidelines are applied to 3 hands-on science investigations performed by over 300 fifth and sixth graders and scored by science educators. Although difficult to develop, such assessments can be scored reliably. (SLD)
