摘要：The purpose of this Science Standards Content Crosswalk study is to compare the
degree of alignment between Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Jordan’s
science standards in K-8. A team of 5 science educators worked together to review
each NGSS standard and decide whether there is a conceptual match for it in current
Jordan science standards. Rigorous content analysis and interpretation approach was
used to make decisions about matches between both sets of standards. Results
revealed significant misalignments between the science learning outcomes identified
by NGSS and those of Jordan. Results also showed that, Physical Sciences concepts had
the highest percentage (58%) of not addressed concepts in 3-5 grade band followed
by Earth and Space Sciences (42%) and Life Sciences concepts (36%). However, the
highest percentage of not addressed concepts in grade band 6-8 were Earth and Space
Sciences (58%) followed by Physical Sciences (46%) and Life Sciences (36%) concepts.
This finding can support projections of the needs for new instructional materials and
for subject-specific teachers’ professional development. The results also provide a clear
direction for the newly established national center for curriculum to revise the national
science standards and curricula.
