Learning to RECAST Students’ Causal Assumptions in Science Through Interactive Multimedia Professional Development Tools

CSE is directing the external formative and summative evaluation activities for Harvard University’s Learning to RECAST Students’ Causal Assumptions in Science Through Interactive Multimedia Professional Development Tools project. This five-year project develops tools that enable teachers to assist their students in learning the nature of causality underlying scientific concepts. CSE’s role is to monitor the project’s progress on materials and technology development as well as to determine the impact of the tools on teacher practice.
