Analysis reveals Next Generation Science Standards improve chemistry learning in high schools, suggesting better college preparedness.
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), based upon Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Cross Cutting Concepts, are an attempt to have students memorize less, make more sense of phenomena, connect science to mathematics and language arts, and apply knowledge in context. Over 70% of USA students are in schools that are adopting the NGSS and their implementation over the past few years and into the future should have significant impact upon the chemistry preparation of entering college students over the next decade.
