Examining Formative Assessment Practices for English Language Learners in Science Classrooms (Collaborative Research: Li)

University of Washington (UW)

09/01/2011

This is an exploratory study to identify critical aspects of effective science formative assessment (FA) practices for English Language Learners (ELLs), and the contextual factors influencing such practices. FA, in the context of the study, is viewed as a process contributing to the science learning of ELLs, as opposed to the administration of discrete sets of instruments to collect data from students. The study targets Spanish-speaking, elementary and middle school students.

Identifying Critical Characteristics of Effective Feedback Practices in Science and Mathematics Education

University of Colorado Denver, University of Washington (UW), University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

01/01/2009

This project will define and synthesize effective feedback strategies that can be linked to specific features of daily classroom assessment practices. It will develop a framework, including a conceptual strand (will conceptualize feedback practice considering intrinsic and contextual dimensions) and a methodological strand (used to describe and evaluate the feedback studies and findings to be synthesized). The framework will provide a shared language within and across multiple forms of research in various disciplines.
