Traz-se a discussão da avaliação da ciência e da tecnologia para o campo da Ciência da Informação, enfatizando-se os problemas da adequação dos indicadores utilizados na avaliação desses dois tipos de conhecimento e a possível contribuição da área para o assunto. Argumenta-se que as diferenças na natureza da ciência e da tecnologia forçam a elaboração de indicadores também diferentes. Privilegia-se a ótica da avaliação e uso de métricas como instrumentos de suporte à decisão em questões de fomento por agências governamentais. Discutem-se primeiramente as métricas para ciência e tecnologia de maneira geral e, em seguida, as métricas específicas para a avaliação do conhecimento científico e do conhecimento tecnológico. Questões sobre quem pode melhor avaliar a tecnologia ou inovação e a necessidade de inclusão de dados externos ou de insumo à produção, são brevemente apresentadas.<p>Discussion on evaluation of science and technology is brought to Information Science,stressing the question of the adequacy of indicators used for each and the possible contribution of IS studies. The argument is that differences in the nature of these two kinds of knowledge require different measures. The question is discussed under the point of view of funding by governmental agencies. A general discussion on metrics for science is first presented, followed by sections on science metrics and then technology metrics. Issues such as who would best evaluate technology and the need for inclusion of input or economic data is briefly discussed.Date

PALS - Performance Assessment Links in Science1999-01PALS is an on-line, standards-based, continually updated resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. The tasks, collected from numerous sources, include student directions and response forms, administration procedures, scoring rubrics, examples of student work, and technical quality data calculated from field testing. On-line rater training packets have also been created for some tasks. PALS is supported by a grant from the Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education (ESIE) Division (Grant #: ESI-9730651) of the National Science Foundation.

NASA Earth Observatory: Biomes (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) website allows students to investigate biomes and then test their knowledge by completing missions. The site provides basic data about each biome such as temperature, precipitation, vegetation, location, description and links. Biomes discussed include coniferous forest, temperate deciduous forest, desert, grassland, rainforest, shrubland and tundra. The two missions (available at beginner and advanced levels) are designed to teach students about the relationship between temperature and precipitation and plants in biomes. A teacher resource guide provides details about goals, expected outcomes, extension ideas, and hands-on activities.
