Monitoring What Matters About Context and Instruction in Science Education: A NAEP Data Analysis Report
This report explores background variables in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to examine key context and instructional factors behind science learning for eighth grade students. Science education is examined from five perspectives: student engagement in science, science teachers’ credentials and professional development, availability and use of science resources, approaches to science instruction, and methods and uses of science assessment.
