| Abstract
|
:
|
"Tech Tally: Approaches to Assessing Technological Literacy explores methods and opportunities for assessing technological literacy in K - 12 students, K-12 teachers, and out-of-school adults The report suggests how scientifically valid and broadly applicable assessments might be developed for the three target populations Findings and related recommendations are provided in five critical areas: instrument development, research on learning, computer-based assessment methods, framework development, and public perceptions of technology."--Jacket.
