Bringing Scientific Practices (SP), Core Ideas (CI), and Crosscutting Concepts (CC) (aka three-dimensional learning), into college courses raises the need for assessments that can elicit students’ competencies in engaging in those dimensions. The Three-Dimensional Learning Assessment Protocol (3D-LAP) provides criteria for each SP, CI, and CC to characterize and develop assessment tasks to elicit evidence of students’ engagement in each dimension. How can we make inferences about students’ abilities to engage in SPs? We articulate a methodology to explore student abilities to intertwine the SP of Using Math with physics concepts at introductory level. We developed tasks that can elicit Using Math along with a CI (and CCs) and gave them to students in one-on-one, video-recorded, Think-Aloud interviews. In this talk, we explain this process of making inferences from students’ work products. This work helps us extend this process to the rest of the SPs as a whole.
