Italian A Curriculum & Assessment in the MYP/DP - Mainly for High School teachers
Monica Stauder and Blu Maniscalco
Deledda International School
Science (Upper School)
How can we keep promoting hand-on experience while ensuring long-term learning?
Three out of four criteria for science assessment are based on experimental and research
skills and only one is based on knowledge and its application. Is this a balanced way to test
students on the effective learning in science? Are written tests a sufficient way to assess in science?
These questions are aimed at the MYP science teachers with the purpose of reflecting on our practice.
