While this understanding is often assessed through summative, multiple-choice instruments, science notebooks have been used extensively in elementary and secondary grades as a mechanism to promote and reveal reflection through both drawing and writing. Although each modality has been studied individually, obtaining a comprehensive view of a student’s conceptual understanding requires analyses of knowledge represented across both modalities. Evidence-centered design (ECD) provides a framework for diagnostic measurement of data collected from student interactions with complex learning environments. This work utilizes ECD to analyze a corpus of elementary student writings and drawings collected with a digital science notebook. First, a competency model representing the core concepts of each exercise, as well as the curricular unit as a whole, was constructed. Then, evidence models were created to map between student written and drawn artifacts and the shared competency model. Finally, the scores obtained using the evidence models were used to train a deep-learning based model for automated writing assessment, as well as to develop an automated drawing assessment model using topological abstraction. The findings reveal that ECD provides an expressive unified framework for multimodal assessment of science learning with accurate predictions of student learning.}, booktitle={Intelligent Tutoring Systems}, publisher={Springer International Publishing}, author={Smith, Andy and Aksit, Osman and Min, Wookhee and Wiebe, Eric and Mott, Bradford W. and Lester, James C.}, editor={Micarelli, A. and Stamper, J. and Panourgia, K.Editors}, year={2016}, pages={165–175} } @inproceedings{smith_aksit_min_wiebe_mott_lester_2016, title={Integrating real-time drawing and writing diagnostic models: An evidence-centered design framework for multimodal science assessment}, volume={0684}, booktitle={Intelligent tutoring systems, its 2016}, author={Smith, A. and Aksit, O. and Min, W. and Wiebe, E. and Mott, B.
