    Revising and Improving Multiple Choice Questions with the NGSS DCIs in Mind

    Presenters: Dr. Tingting Reid, Dr. Phil Sadler, Ms. Cynthia Crockett, Science Education Dept., Center for Astrophysics|Harvard & Smithsonian, Cambridge, MA

    Assessment questions are challenging to write to truly understand students’ knowledge. As part of a recent study, we asked science educators to revise existing middle-school physical science multiple-choice questions to help reduce problems such as gender/racial/ethnic bias, inappropriate difficulty (too easy or too hard), and poor discrimination (an indicator of overall test performance). We compared original and revised questions using psychometric analysis. We will present findings from this multi-year study on effective revisions of multiple-choice STEM questions.

    Additionally, we invite middle school physical science educators to collaborate with us in the next phase of this work. We are interested in the assessment questions and tests they use with their students. We invite them to share their experience with assessment items as well as share particular tests or items that they use with students, especially multiple-choice questions.

    Join NJSELA for our Winter Round table 2024 at Rutgers Lifelong Learning Center on 12/6!

    Come to share and exchange ideas, strategies, and resources with fellow science leaders from across the state. Focus groups will take a deep dive into NJSLA prep strategies and NGSS 3D Assessment PD & Item Development with turnkey leads. Our NJDOE collaboration partners will share climate change education resources and PD opportunities to address interdisciplinary challenges. Our leadership teams will share Open Sci Ed progress and evaluate new options for dual credit at local universities. Not to mention our opportunity to network and recharge with a lunch and learn session hosted by Inq-ITS - the AI virtual Science lab application.

    The 2025 Philadelphia Leadership Summit, themed "Inspired by History, Driven by Innovation," is crafted specifically for leaders in science education who are shaping the future of teaching and learning. This one-day, immersive experience invites district and state leaders, instructional coaches, and advocates to engage in a collaborative, high-impact setting. Together, participants will navigate the pressing challenges and transformative opportunities in science education today.

    The summit emphasizes leadership development on cutting-edge topics that will drive educational progress in the years ahead, including climate change education, artificial intelligence, data science and emerging technologies. Each session provides a space for leaders to examine these pivotal issues, consider their implications, and develop actionable strategies for schools and communities.

    With a focus on both historical context and forward-looking innovation, attendees will connect past achievements with future potential, building on a legacy of scientific discovery to drive meaningful change. Participants will leave the summit equipped with insights, strategies, and a network of peers who share their commitment to advancing science education leadership in powerful, lasting ways.
