BEST PRACTICES OF ASSESSMENT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE EFFECTIVE LEARNING
Journal Title: Journal of Baltic Science Education - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
The conceptual understanding presents a key component of science expertise, and thus the most desirable outcome of science education process. However, reports in the literature describe the opposite reality. There is an evidence that students are prone to use algorithms, to memorize rules, definitions and procedural steps, that is, to use efficient heuristics that allow them to skip logical reasoning for reaching an immediate goal (Dori & Hameiri, 2003; Hammer, 1994; Nyachwaya, Warfa, Roehrig, & Schneider, 2014). The questions arise: (i) How the assessment tools themselves contribute to this phenomenon? (ii) Can we encourage the development of logical reasoning among students by applying various assessment tools?
