Learning Progressions Provide Road Maps for the Development and Validity of Assessments and Curriculum Materials

摘要

Paul Black, Mark Wilson, and Shih-Ying Yao in "Road Maps for Learning: A Guide to the Navigation of Learning Progressions" provide a number of important ideas to consider regarding the development of assessments and curriculum materials to support development of core ideas. One major idea that I found most valuable is the focus on student ideas growing over time: a growth perspective. This is an uncommon approach in assessment and instruction. Western educational systems have not had this perspective in science education, and as a result we now find ourselves limited in how far we can push student thinking.
