Dr. Kevin Haudek and Dr. Leonora Kaldaras presented research work as part of the 2023 DRK-12 PI Meeting hosted by CADRE (https://cadrek12.org).  As part of the NSF funded project, the team is developing an assessment system that can capture student text explanations and electronically drawn models. These student responses will be automatically scored using the Constructed Response Classifier developed by the AACR research group.  

As part of the session Using AI to Promote Equitable Science Teaching and Learning, Dr. Kaldaras presented on providing opportunity for three dimensional science learning for all students and how the project addresses equity in assessment items, coding rubrics and text scoring models. Later in the meeting, Dr. Haudek presented a poster describing the project progress to date, including the rubric development process.
