Learning progressions in science : current challenges and future directions / / edited by Alicia C. Alonzo, Amelia Wenk Gotwals.

Learning progressions – descriptions of increasingly sophisticated ways of thinking about or understanding a topic (National Research Council, 2007) – represent a promising framework for developing organized curricula and meaningful assessments in science. In addition, well-grounded learning progres...
