ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** I am posting the following on behalf of a college intern I have working for me this semester. Please send any responses directly to her at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Thank you for any assistance you can give with her project. I am an undergraduate college student and am conducting my biology education honors research within the Camps Programs of Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts. This program provides daytime and overnight experiences for scouts which relate to badge requirements. My research focuses on the constraints of implementing student assessment in this setting, and evaluating to what degree specific assessment strategies comply with these constraints. I am looking for feedback on the following questions. Any experience, opinion, research or references you can provide would be most helpful. Thanks! 1. What methods or strategies for student assessment have you implemented within an informal educational setting? What worked well? What didn't? Why did/didn't these strategies work? 2. What problems have you had when trying to assess students within the informal educational settings? 3. Do you know of any research done regarding assessment in informal learning settings which I could access?
