In this study, we analyzed elementary school teachers' self-diagnosis on their competency for assessment in science. A questionnaire was administered to 217 elementary school teachers and in-depth group interviews with 6 teachers were also conducted. The results revealed that the mean scores of five subcategories, 'choosing assessment methods', 'developing assessment instruments', 'administering, scoring, and grading', 'analyzing, interpreting, using, and communicating assessment results', and 'recognizing ethics in assessment', were 3.82, 3.50, 3.92, 3.76, and 4.09 on a scale of 5 points, respectively. Teachers having more teaching experience showed higher mean scores in all subcategories. However, only the teachers having more than 20 years of teaching experience were statistically better than those having less than 5 years of teaching experience in four subcategories except for 'recognizing ethics in assessment'. There were no significant differences in terms of major, whereas the mean scores of the teachers having master's degree were statistically higher than their counterpart in some subcategories. In addition, the teachers who had completed training for assessment exhibited statistically higher mean scores than their counterpart in four subcategories except for 'recognizing ethics in assessment'. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to Investigate about current status of authentic science performance assessment in elementary schools. A total of 707 elementary teachers was involved and the data from questionnaire was gathered. The questionnaire was comprised two categories: items on the epistemological aspect & items on the actual condition. The major findings are as follows: 1. There are some elementary teachers who don't have a clear understanding on what authentic science performance assessment is even though most of teachers admit the importance of authentic performance assessment in their science teaching. 2. Malty teachers have chosen and have used experimental activities or performance tasks rather than they have developed tasks of their own. 3. Malty teachers have pointed out 'tile lack of time for performance assessment preparation' and 'the limitation of class time' as tile problems of working on science performance assessment in elementary schools.

과학교육자들은 지필 중심 평가에 대해서 많은 우려를 하여 왔다. 수행평가는 전통적인 평가의 훌륭한 대안으로 여겨지고 있다. 수행평가의 하나인 포트폴리오 평가는 학생들의 창의성 신장과 자기 학습에 대한 책임감을 높이는 바람직한 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이에 대한 연구나 실제 적용 사례는 매우 드물다. 포트폴리오 평가의 특성과 구조를 문헌 조사를 통하여 탐색하였다. 적절한 포트폴리오 평가의 형태와 구성 요소를 설계하였다. 우리 나라 초등 과학 수업에는 포트폴리오 평가를 위한 학습 목표는 일반 목표와 구체 목표를 내용의 특성에 따라 사용할 필요가 있다. 포트폴리오 평가를 위한 학생들의 증거는 교실에 교재의 부족과 재생 시설의 미비 때문에 제한적인 형태률 가진다. 학생들의 증거는 상당 부분이 교실에서 수업 중에 작성하는 것이 학습 부담을 줄일 수 있어서 좋다. 평가 준거는 학급당 학생수가 많기 때문에 분석적인 것보다는 전체적인 것을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 포트폴리오 평가는 초등학교 과학 수업에 많은 변화를 일으킬 것이다. 학생들은 과학 학습에 보다 주도적인 자세를 갖게 되고 교사들은 주요 교수 목표에 집중하고, 학생들의 바람직한 학습에 더 많은 관심을 둘 것이다. 포트폴리오 평가가 학생과 교사에게 더 많은 업무 부담을 요구하지만, 학교 과학 시간에 적용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

A peer assessment method was implemented as part of an action research project where the primary goal was to create constructivist science classrooms. Student reflective writings, which had been created in the process of action research, were analyzed to examine the perceptions of the students concerning the peer assessment method employed in their earth science classrooms. Five perception categories and thirteen statements were developed from the student writings. These indicated that the students appreciated the positive nature of peer assessment and the effects of it as an alternative method for promoting learning. It was also revealed, however, that some students displayed inappropriate behaviors toward peer assessment which led to negative perceptions of the new assessment method. Implications for future use of peer assessment in science classrooms are discussed. Limitations founded in the present study as well as possible solutions are provided.

This study aims to compare self- and peer-assessments of science-gifted elementary students' scientific creativity. A science-gifted program on the Pascal's principle was implemented to 40 fifth-graders in the Science-Gifted Education Center for two weeks. After that, students presented their results from a scientific creativity task using the principle in class. The task was to devise a new and useful tool using the principle, and it included the students' self-assessment about their idea. During presentation, students were asked to assess the works of peers and write down the reasons that they gave the scores they gave. Shortly, student self- and peer-assessments about students' scientific creativity outcomes were compared. Based on two essential components of creativity, ideas that satisfy both originality and usefulness can be counted as scientifically creative. The main results of this study are as follows: First, the average scores of student self- and peer-assessments were 71.5 and 61.9. Second, the standard deviations of student self- and peer-assessments were 14.47 and 5.79. Third, among scientific creativity, originality, usefulness scores, only originality had a significant correlation between student self- and peer-assessment (r=.42). Fourth, the students were categorized into four groups according to the levels of their scores by student self- and peer-assessment. And the frequencies of peer-assessment group had a significant difference at p<0.05 level, according to self-assessment group (Chi Square=4.0000, df=1, p=0.0455). Fifth, through a case study by group, the results suggesting that self-assessment could be affected by the students' self-efficacy and perfectionism and such effect could also influence peer-assessment have been found. The result showed that how the student self- and peer-assessment of scientific creativity are different and what the students' thoughts on the evaluation of scientific creativity are. The findings suggested that there are several things to consider for the educators to make efforts to construct consistent assessment methods for scientific creativity.
