Solution
Systems to address the critical needs of science education
must include each of these three components.
* When students are actively engaged with important content - students learn important content. * Content must be designed from the concepts articulated in the national standards - not just be comprised of activities about those topics. * Content must be accurate and pedagogy must be based on research-based best practices.
High-Quality Content
* Simply replacing a text-book or worksheet with an e-version is not enough. * Technology must facilitate and promote interactive learning with interactive charts and simulations, relevant video and images. * Technology must offer the ability to follow multiple paths of learning, and opportunities to customize and personalize resources.
Appropriate Technology
* Build and grow a database of student ideas - correct, incorrect, & partially correct - that can be used to analyze classroom artifacts. * Analyze student responses & interactions and provide the teacher with a diagnostic assessment and possible interventions. * Monitor & track student data to ensure progress is being achieved.
