ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS
These tools have emerged from research projects conducted at CRESMET since the 1990s. The tools have undergone repeated cycles of testing and refinement with populations of high school students and teachers, undergraduate students and faculty.
To obtain and use a copy of any of the assessment instruments featured here, please complete and submit CRESMET’s Assessment Instrument Request.
Some of the tools, such as the PCA, require that users pay a service fee.

- Views About Science Survey (VASS) This is an instrument for
assessing student views about knowing and learning science. VASS was
developed in a contrasting alternative rating scale format (CArs) by
Ibrahim Halloun, formerly a research professor at CRESMET, in collaboration with a number of researchers at ASU and other
institutions.
