The ASE at Reading
Laura Howes and David Sait select some highlights from the 2011 ASE conference in Reading
Examination assessment of How Science Works
A capacity session led by Andrew Hunt at the Asssociation for Science Educaton (ASE) conference gave the preliminary findings of a report on the specification and assessment of How Science Works (HSW) at GCSE.
Hunt, together with a team from across the science education community, wrote the report on behalf of Science Community Representing Education (Score).
The aims of the Score project are to clarify and define HSW, to give all involved in GCSEs ideas about what it is and how it can be assessed, and to create a bank of test items that provide models for senior examiners and illustrative exercises for teachers and pupils.
