Developing Policy, Principles and Practice in Primary School Science Assessment
This report sets out a proposed framework for the assessment of science in primary schools.
The framework is the outcome of a seminar held at the Nuffield Foundation on 7 and 8 June 2012. Participants included representatives of the Association for Science Education (ASE), Science Community Representing Education (SCORE), the Science Learning Centre East of England, the AstraZeneca Science Teaching Trust and the Primary Science Quality Mark project.
The framework describes how evidence of students’ attainment should be collected, recorded, communicated and used. It details how assessment data can be optimised for different uses and outlines the support needed to implement the procedures.
