Book description: NSTA Press, 2009. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This review of three years of science education research from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) offers science teachers, curriculum and assessment experts and school administrators with literacy results for 15-year-old students from 65 countries. Editors Bybee (former executive director, Biological Sciences Curriculum Study) and McCrae (principal research fellow, Australian Council for Educational Research) have gathered data on the assessment framework, design and test development of PISA 2006, with contributors discussing international comparisons that deal with the characteristics of high-achieving science classrooms and the assessment of general attitudes toward scientific study. Recommendations are offered for aligning science teaching and the assessments as well as designing a curriculum to enhance students' science literacy. (©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
