Abstract

Selle disainipõhise uuringu eesmärk oli välja töötada e-tasemetöö, millega saaks hinnata riiklikus õppekavas määratletud III kooliastme lõpuks omandatud loodusteadusliku pädevuse taset. Ühtlasi pidi tasemetöö andma kirjeldavat tagasisidet nii õpilasele, õpetajale, lapsevanemale kui ka haridusüldsusele. Protsessi komplekssusest tingituna keskendutakse selles artiklis kitsamalt tasemetöö disainimise protsessile ja saadud lõpptulemusele ning põhjendatakse tehtud disainiotsuseid. Uurijate ja praktikute vahelises koostöös (2018–2022) jõuti uudse lahenduse – kontekstipõhise tasemetööni, mida saab kasutada üle-eestiliseks põhiuuringuks. Õpilaste saavutatud loodusteadusliku pädevuse taset kirjeldatakse neljal tasemel üheksa tunnuse abil, mis on ülevaatlikkuse nimel rühmitatud omakorda neljaks: loodusteaduslikud teadmised, uurimuslikud oskused, probleemi lahendamise ja otsuse tegemise oskused ning kommunikatsioonioskused. Tasemetöö koosneb neljast alatestist ning kokku 35 ülesandest.
