Developing Three-Dimensional Learning Progressions of Energy, Interaction, and Matter at Middle School Level: A Design-Based Research
Three-dimensional learning progressions (3DLPs) have received wide-scale attention in depicting learning pathways that students travel as they progress toward knowledge-in-use in making sense of phenomena and solving problems. Using a design-based research approach, this study put efforts into developing a 3DLP of matter, interaction, and energy at the middle school level and presents the essential design principles for developing 3DLPs.
