Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test0

Science Student Report Spring 2015 Grade 8

The purpose of the FCAT 2.0 is to ensure that Florida's public schools are providing your student with the best science education possible and preparing your student for future success.

A high level of scientific knowledge has been identified as critical for success in the competitive 21st century job market. Working with Florida educators, the State developed this test to measure your student's achievement of the science skills in the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS). In addition, the content scores help you to identify academic skills that may need improvement.

El objetivo del FCA T 2. 0 es garantizar que las escuelas public as de Florida le esten brindando a su estudiante Ia mejor educaci6n posible en ciencias y Ia preparaci6n necesaria para un futuro de exitos.

Se ha determinado que es fundamental con tar con un elevado nive/ de conocimiento cientffico para tener exito en e/ competitivo mercado /aboral del siglo xxi. En co/aboraci6n con /os educadores de Florida, e/ Estado e/abor6 este examen para medir las habilidades adquiridas por sus estudiantes en ciencias segun los Estandares para Ia proxima generaci6n del Estado de Florida (NGSSS). Ademas, los puntajes por contenido /e ayudan a identificar las habilidades academicas que quiza necesite mejorar.

Objektif FCA T 2. 0 a se pou a sire ke /ekol piblik Florida yo ap founi elev ou a meye edikasyon posib nan domen syans e ke y ap prepare elev ou a komsadwa pou I sa gen sikse nan /avni.

Yo idantifye yon nivo e/ve nan konesans syantifik kom kritik pou sikse nan mache travay konpetitif 21yem syek Ia. Nan travay ansanm avek edikate Florida yo, Eta a devlope egzamen sa a pou eva/ye rannman elev ou a nan konpetans nan /asyans pou Estanda Nouvo Jenerasyon Sunshine State Ia (Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: NGSSS). Anplisdesa, not pou chak matye ede ou pou idantifye konpetans akademik ki ka bezwen amelyorasyon.
