Group Level Assessment (GLA) is a qualitative, participatory research methodology that can be used within science education, specifically to meet the Science and Engineering Practices dimension of the K-12 Next Generation Science Standards. In contrast to traditional qualitative research methods, GLA is a concrete methodological tool intended for large groups. GLA follows a 7-step process in which diverse stakeholders work together to generate, analyze and prioritize ideas that lead to action planning. Emphasizing personal relevance, shared decision making, systematic inquiry, and collaboration in the design and process, GLA is best positioned conceptually and theoretically within community-based participatory research and inquiry-based learning approaches. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe how GLA can be utilized as an innovative methodology to incorporate students' lived experiences in science education. We describe how to conduct GLA and provide a case example of GLA in action conducted as part of a larger science education program with students and teachers in STEM.
小组层面评估(GLA)是一种定性的参与式研究方法,可用于科学教育领域,特别是为了满足K-12下一代科学标准中的科学与工程实践维度。与传统的定性研究方法不同,GLA是一种适用于大型群体的具体方法工具。GLA遵循一个7步流程,在这个流程中,不同的利益相关者共同努力,生成、分析并优先考虑那些能够促成行动计划的想法。GLA强调个人相关性、共同决策、系统探究以及设计和过程中的协作,在基于社区的参与式研究和基于探究的学习方法中,GLA在概念和理论上处于最佳位置。本手稿的目的是描述如何将GLA用作一种创新方法,将学生的生活经验纳入科学教育。我们描述了如何进行GLA,并提供了一个GLA实际应用的案例,该案例是作为一个更大的科学教育项目的一部分,与STEM领域的学生和教师一起开展的。
