小行星9725518 本研究计划将制定一项计划，分析在城市学校系统中收集的数据，为期六年，面向幼儿园至八年级学生的教师。 在收集这一信息的整个期间，这一学校系统一直是系统变革努力的场所。 数据来源包括访谈;课堂观察;教师对关于其信念、态度、内容和教学知识的调查的答复;教师的书面反思;以及关于所有专业发展活动的实地记录。 将开发分析这些数据的定量和定性方法。 该项目将推进有关教师的信念，知识和实践的演变，同时从事系统的改革的过程中的知识，并将投射在各种专业发展活动如何影响这种演变的光。

9725518 Chapin This research project will develop a plan to analyze data collected in an urban school system over a six-year period for teachers of kindergarten through eighth grade students. This school system has been the site of systemic change efforts over the entire period in which this information was collected. Sources of data included interviews; classroom observations; teachers' responses to surveys on their beliefs, attitudes, and content and pedagogical knowledge; teachers' written reflections; and field notes on all professional development activities. Both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze this data will be developed. The project will advance knowledge about the evolution of teachers' beliefs, knowledge, and practices while engaged in a process of systemic reform and will cast light on how various professional development activities influence that evolution.
