Developing scientific and assessment literacy (including using GenAI)

Assessment method

Developing scientific and assessment literacy (including using GenAI)

A key aim of science teaching is the development of scientific literacy. In this task, pre-service teachers are asked to demonstrate their scientific literacy in preparation for teaching. The innovation in this task is using GenAI to develop students’ assessment literacy and understanding of the task's requirements.
