State Network for Developing Indicators of Science and Math Education

国家科学基金会与加勒比科学组织合作， 科学和数学教育始于1986年。 该项目 其目标有两个：（1）建立一个教育体系 提供国家分析能力的指标， 各国科学状况和趋势的比较 数学教育，2）提高质量， 科学和数学教育数据的有用性， 国家政策制定者和项目管理者， 明智的决定。 本提案概述了下一个十年的四个目标。 国家科学/数学指标项目阶段： 1. 收集和报告一年两次的国家和各州数据 根据科学和数学教育的选定指标， 国家教育部门收集的数据; 2. 生成并报告各州数据分析 学校和员工的科学和数学指标 国家教育统计中心的调查; 3. 向5-10个国家提供援助，以发展能力， 收集和报告关于科学/数学指标的数据; 4. 建立一个“关于替代方法的州际联盟 学生评估”，以协助各国改革其 评估学生在科学和数学方面的学习情况。

Collaboration between NSF and CCSO to develop indicators of science and mathematics education began in 1986. The project was initiated with two goals: 1) to establish a system of education indicators that provides the capacity for national analyses and state-by-state comparisons of the condition and trends in science mathematics education, and 2) to improve the quality and usefulness of data on science and mathematics education to assist the state policymakers and program managers in making more informed decisions. The present proposal outlines four objectives for the next phase of the state science/math indicators project: 1. Collect and report biannual national and state-by-state data on selected indicators of science and math education, based on data collected by state departments of education; 2. Produce and report state-by-state analyses of data on science and math indicators from the Schools and Staffing Survey of the National Center for Education Statistics; 3. Provide assistance to 5-10 states to develop capacity for collecting and reporting data on science/math indicators; 4. Establish an "interstate consortium on alternative methods of student assessment" to assist states in reforming their assessments of student learning in science and mathematics.
