States in the United States are actively building science assessments to be administered annually in elementary, middle, and high school grades. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that these assessments be in place for the 2007-2008 school year, be aligned with state academic content and achievement standards, and include measures of higher-order thinking skills. This article examines how the legislated accountability requirements might be met while preserving the goals for validity articulated in the National Science Education Standards. Variables and constraints under which assessment design takes place are discussed, and a design approach is presented that balances the need for broad coverage of science content with the need for comparable student scores and psychometric reliability. Practical considerations for building and implementing assessment programs are also discussed. |
