Current Projects
Assessing Teacher Learning About Science Teaching
National Science Foundation
HRI, in collaboration with Project 2061 of the American Association of the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is creating and disseminating instruments that assess teacher opportunities to learn, and that measure changes in teacher science content knowledge, teacher pedagogical content knowledge, classroom practice, as well as changes in student achievement. Three sets of instruments are being developed, one for each of three science areas-force and motion; processes that shape the Earth; and flow of matter and energy in living systems.
