See  HYPERLINK "http://www.nsta.org/preservice" www.nsta.org/preservice for explanations of the science standards. It is important that science teachers experience the doing of science in authentic settings. As a result the specific activities carried out in research can vary widely within a science and between sciences. This could be a research project, a capstone project involving research or an independent study. In any case, the experience should be carefully documented. The rubric below could be used to verify what the future science teachers have experienced. Scientific Investigation Each candidate (or small group) should choose a topic of interest to research, collecting, analyzing and interpreting data. The following parts should be included in the report of the research: Rubric for Assessing Reports of Scientific Investigation The minimum acceptable score is a 2 on each part.Investigation partsNot acceptable (1)Acceptable (2)Target (3)A. Research problem (NSTA 1d)Stated problem is unclear or too broadStated problem is clear, key variables are identified. A clear statement of the intent of the research with the problem narrowed to a manageable scope.B. Literature review (NSTA 1d)Missing or inadequate review of literature for the investigationLiterature review adequate for the specific investigation (including primarily peer-reviewed articles).Thorough literature review that identifies the need for and the method by which the research is being conducted.C. Experimental design (NSTA 1d)Experimental design is incomplete or unclear.Experimental design is generally clear and supports the research question. Variables are controlled.Experimental design is clear and supports the research question. Includes a clear description of procedure with both controlled and extraneous variables. D. Data collection and organization (NSTA 1d)Data are absent, poorly organized, and/or inappropriately displayed.Data are organized and appropriately displayed using graphs, charts or tables.Data are organized to allow for analysis and interpretation. Graphs and charts should be utilized for this organization.E. Analysis and interpretation of data (NSTA 1d, 1e)Inappropriate techniques used in data analysis and interpretation. Little or no evidence of the use of appropriate mathematics.Appropriate techniques, mathematical and otherwise, used in data analysis and interpretation. Thorough analysis and interpretation of data using appropriate mathematics for processing and interpreting data. The interpretation of data is presented in relationship to findings from previous studies. F. Final conclusions (NSTA 1d)Conclusions are absent or not clearly related to the problem or supported by the data.Conclusions are related to the problem and supported by the data.Conclusions are based on the above analysis and are clearly related to the problem and previous studies. G. Discussion (NSTA 1d)Discussion of the research project is absent or minimal and poorly thought out.Discussion of the research project includes suggestions for improvements or refinement to experimental design.Discussion of the research project includes suggestions for improvements, refinement, and/or new approaches to experimental design and includes a discussion of future research questions. H. Report (NSTA 1d)Research is not reported or is incomplete.Report of research is complete (literature review, procedures, data, analysis, conclusions).Report of research is complete (literature review, procedures, data, analysis, conclusions) and includes presentation and discussion with peers.

This is a sample form for meeting requirements for assessment # 7. In no way does it guarantee NSTA recognition nor NCATE accreditation.
