To support the launch of a valid, reliable and scalable assessment system to measure efficiently how well children in grades K-5 have learned science in ways that develop and retain their ability to engage in critical inquiry in later years. The University of Pittsburgh’s Learning Research and Development Center will partner with the University of California, Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science to understand (1) activation, (2) consequential outcomes of activation, and (3) the features of learning experiences hypothesized to promote activation of young science learners that could be used to transform the design and assessment of early science experiences for children ages 5-11 across informal and formal settings.
