Curriculum development study reveals valid and reliable computer-model formative assessments in high school chemistry, highlighting improved integration across macroscopic and particulate domains.

Key Points

To develop and evaluate the Connected Chemistry as Formative Assessment (CCFA) pedagogy designed to enhance high school student understanding across multiple chemistry domains.
Integrated computer simulations, learning progressions, and formative assessment frameworks to link macroscopic, submicroscopic, and representational domains of chemistry.
Developed 10 sets of interactive computer models and accompanying model-based formative assessment tests spanning 10 core chemistry topics centered on matter and energy.
Evaluated the psychometric properties, construct validity, and measurement reliability of the assessment tools using the Rasch measurement model.
Rasch measurement analysis verified the construct validity and psychometric reliability of the 10 computer-model-based formative assessment instruments.
The CCFA framework successfully provided an operational pedagogical structure linking observable chemical phenomena with submicroscopic particulate behavior and symbolic models.
