A Design Pattern for Observational Investigation Assessment Tasks (Large Scale Assessment Technical Report 2)
The significance of inquiry skills is widely acknowledged in science practice across many areas. Unlike experimentation, another form of inquiry skill, observational investigation has been much ignored in science education and thus science assessment. Drawing on reserach development in assessment design, this report provides a design pattern to help assessment designers create tasks assessing students' complex scientific reasoning skills in observational investigation. The design pattern lays out considerations regarding targeted knowledge and skills in this inquiry proces

A cognitive apprenticeship for science literacy based on journalism
Abstract: The Science Literacy through Science Journalism (SciJourn) project aims to reframe the discussion of science literacy for citizenship, and explore how science journalism practices can be used to inform a cognitive apprenticeship that increases the science literacy of participants. This symposium features four paper presentations that report on the progress of the SciJourn project.
