The challenges of teaching and learning about science in the twenty-first century: exploring the abilities and constraints of adolescent learners (2012, background): “In addition, we recommend that classroom assessment be focused away from examinations designed to determine factual knowledge and toward assessments that require higher order thinking, reasoning and problem solving (Treagust, Jacobowitz, Gallagher, & Parker, 2001 ).”
Making formative assessment discernable to pre‐service teachers of science (2010, background): “Post-course questionnaire responses revealed some PSTs believed formative assessment meant ongoing summative assessment; that is, a way to monitor knowledge gained by students from segments of curricula in order for the teacher to judge students’ ability to perform on the summative assessment (Treag”
Changing practices: influences on classroom assessment (2006, methodology): “…literature is used for justification, either as a brief rationale for the work (e.g., Yung, 2001; Hall & Harding, 2002), as background information for a case (Borko et al., 2000; Lock & Munby, 2000; Treagust et al., 2001), or to explain a particular strategy (e.g., Swanson & Stevenson, 2002).”
