Strengths
Uses open-ended questions and student-generated explanations and drawings, allowing it to capture nuanced, in-depth insights into students’ conceptual understanding and misconceptions about energy systems.
Cautions
Relies on qualitative interpretation of open-ended responses, which can introduce subjectivity in coding and make results less consistent or comparable across different raters or contexts.
This energy literacy assessment is an open-ended survey instrument designed to measure elementary students’ understanding of energy sources, energy systems, and the environmental impacts of energy use. Items ask students to identify renewable energy sources, explain which sources should be used more in the future and why, and describe connections between everyday choices and energy use. Additional tasks require students to draw and explain how electricity is produced from a selected energy source, capturing both conceptual understanding and explanatory reasoning.
