reasons arefurther distinguished from those who get correct answers from incorrect reasons.The dichotomy between sub-scores in {0, 1} and sub-scores in {2, 3} also implies that eachscore p arises from a unique triad of sub-scores, though the ordering of the sub-scores is notunique. For example, a score p = 7 can be realized as (2 + 2 + 3) or (2 + 3 + 2), but 7 cannot berealized as (1 + 3 + 3); in other words, 7 can be realized only from two 2’s and one 3. Thus,each score represents a unique level of total quality, but a given score does not uniquely indicatethe level of quality derived from each individual criterion. As a result, this scoring systemprovides a monotonic scale against which to measure overall quality of work, but does not favorthe

However, with this extra intervention, she was able topull up her grade and eventually pass with a C- in the class. This one-on-one intervention wasparticularly successful for this student because it helped her look at the problems in a new way.She had been particularly confused about which formulas to use and had used kinematics tosolve every problem on her midterm. With the emphasis in the review sessions on concepts andtechniques and learning how to apply them, she was able to identify which equations to use oneach problem. Thus, by addressing unique learning style needs and by intervening through theCPR program, women who previously would have

The marriage of technology and science is not a new endeavorbut one that has been outlined in reform documents since the late 1980’s. It was through thesereform initiatives that science educators have developed curriculums to shape the future ofscience education.
