Literature review on Impact of assessment on learning achievements

Paper instructions:
You will work individually to identify a contemporary issue or teaching approach in senior science education, and conduct an in-depth analysis of this issue/approach. You are expected to

conduct a thorough literature review of your chosen issue/approach and provide a detailed overview of this material in your written report. You are expected to consult a variety of r eference

materials, which must include peer-reviewed academic journals in the field of science education. You are then required to provide practical information about how you would integrate your

chosen issue/approach in the secondary science classroom. In terms of the lit review, the classroom application piece is not just an afterthought €“ a coda of a couple of paragraphs to nod in the

direction of practice. It’s kind of the point of the whole assessment task: it’s about how the research literature informs practice. It mightn’t be half the length of your assignment, but should be

at least a quarter (and I’m cringing even quantifying it, but I know it’s unhelpfully vague otherwise). And, speaking of unhelpfully vague: the classroom application piece should be something I

could observe happening if I was sitting in your classroom, rather than a general attitude or disposition on your part. Not I will pay attention to X€¦ (since how will anyone know whether you

are paying attention, and how will you remember to pay attention when so much else is demanding your attention?) but I will do (this observable change in practice) Y (reference at least 12

sources)
