Specifically, [20]suggests that each phase of the 5E model can address the three dimensions of the NGSS eithercontextually or emphasize them explicitly. As an example, [21] has illustrated how to connect eachdimension of the 3D model to the explaining phenomena phase of the 5E model. By drawinginspiration from [18], [20], [21], as shown in Section 3 below, the components of the 5E modelare utilized to permit learners to experience various dimensions of the NGSS.

The field requires leading teachereducators who are prepared to develop and deliver effective interventions in technology-enrichedenvironments in accordance with evidence-based practices to benefit students in STEMeducation [3].A primary reason for the discrepancy between the goals associated with appropriate technologyconsideration and current practice is a lack of teacher preparation [4].

Assessment for learningsupports the adoption of evaluation and feedback practices that improve student learning goingforward, and assessment that is, in and of itself, a learning activity [10]. As one aspect of this“feed forward” approach [11], assessment for learning aims to not only produce a grade as aproduct of a summative evaluation, but also support improved performance in the future.Assessment becomes not just an add-on to the course design, but a central component of thedesign. This is aligned with a backward design method and Bigg’s constructive alignmentframework [12], [13].Conventionally, assessment is seen as a product of performance or
