A Longitudinal/Cross-Sectional Study of the Impact of Mathematics in Context on Students Mathematical Performance

该项目最初提交给研究和学习计划，现已转移到研究和指标计划。它被评价为数学改革的一项研究。本项目的目的是记录一项改革5至8年级数学课程(背景是数学)的具体努力对学生数学成绩的影响。该项目将考察学生表现随时间的变化，并将他们的结果与不同项目中类似的学生进行比较。将在三个城市学区和三个区的四所学校进行为期四年的具有比较特色的纵向研究。这些地点将被选中，地点将使用上下文中的数学课程，两个将使用传统课程。提供有关课程教学及其对学生表现影响的信息的变量指标。这项研究将制作技术报告和文章，向教育工作者、政策制定者和家长提供信息。

This project was originally submitted to the Research and Learning program and has been transferred to the Studies and Indicators program. It has been evaluated as a study of the reform of mathematics. The purpose of this project is to document the impact of a particular effort to reform mathematics curriculum (Mathematics in Context) for grades 5 to 8 on the mathematical performance of students. The project will examine changes in student performance over time and compare their results with similar students in different programs. A four-year longitudinal study with comparative features will be conducted in four schools in three urban school districts and three districts. The sites will be chosen site will use the Mathematics in Context curriculum and two will use a traditional curriculum. Indicator of the variables that will yield information about the teaching of the curriculum and its impact on student performance. the study will produce technical reports, and articles to inform educators, policy makers, and parents.
