A challenge in advancing STEM education is the absence of appropriate assessment tools for evaluating the learning performance of students in STEM courses. This study aimed to develop an assessment tool for the STEM interdisciplinary problem-solving skills of high school students. The Nanfang’ao Bridge serves as the case study for this tool. The proposed research tool consists of five dimensions: contextualization, analogical reasoning, predicting, quantitative thinking, and reflective ability. The study surveyed 844 high school students and employed the Rasch dichotomous scoring model to develop an effective assessment tool for the STEM interdisciplinary problem-solving competencies of these students. The findings suggest that high school students need to improve their competencies, especially those in predictive analysis and reflective ability. This study also discusses potential limitations and highlights critical considerations for future investigations in this field. Furthermore, it provides recommendations for classroom teachers regarding the implementation and integration of the assessment tool, and the results serve as a reference for future research. |
