NSTA Press, 2010 - 214 síður
"The 45 assessment probes enable teachers to find out what students really think about key ideas in force and motion. Before using the probes, teachers need to study the Teacher Notes, which provide background information on the purpose of the probes, related concepts, explanations for the teacher of the force and motion ideas being taught, related ideas in the national science standards, research on typical student misconceptions regarding force and motion, and suggestions for instruction and assessment. After using the probes and analyzing students' ideas on force and motion, the teacher returns to the Teacher Notes for ways to adjust his or her instruction. Using the student-learning data gained through the probes to inform teaching and learning is what makes the probes formative. The book specifies grade spans K-4, 5-8, or 9-12 for each probe, based on state and national standards, and suggests ways to adapt a probe for a different grade span or context." [cover verso].

Um höfundinn (2010)

Page Keeley is an internationally known leader in science education. She is the developer and primary author of the award-winning Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series and the Formative Assessment- Practical Strategies Linking Assessment, Instruction, and Learning series (the "FACTs books"). Her interest in teaching for conceptual understanding and understanding students' thinking began in 1992 after reading the seminal article, Teaching for Conceptual Change- Confronting Children's Experience by Bruce Watson and Dick Konicek. Her very first assessment probe, The Mitten Problem, was based on that article. Her assessment probes and FACTs (formative assessment classroom techniques) are widely used by K-12 teachers, university professors, professional developers, and science specialists throughout the U.S. and internationally.
