Supporting Instructional Decision Making: The Potential of an Automatically Scored Three-Dimensional Assessment System (Collaborative Research)

This collaborative early-stage design and development project has three goals: (a) develop automatically generated student reports (AutoRs) for three-dimensional (3D) science assessments to assist middle-school teachers to notice, attend to, and interpret information in ongoing classroom teaching, and (b) develop effective instructional supports to improve teachers’ use of AutoRs to make effective decisions for instructional moves, and  (c) examine the effectiveness of AutoRs and instructional supports to aide teachers’ decision making and students’ 3D learning.
