Study of the Impact of State Systemic Initiatives

拟议的项目包括一系列研究，以调查全州范围内系统性倡议对学生学习、课程和政策的产出、结果和影响。第一项研究将分析三个年级(1990年、1992年和1996年)的数学NAEP数据。22个SSI州和17个非SSI州的数学水平达到或超过数学水平的学生的百分比将进行比较。在第二项研究中，将对目标州现有的数学和科学状态评估数据进行研究，以获得1990年至1999年期间的总分和量表分数。第三项研究将分析学生成绩、过程指标和系统性改革属性的变化与一个州内的地区/学校参与SSI的水平之间的关系。此外，关于系统改革的现有信息将通过一系列专家顾问的小型重点会议进行挖掘和总结。上述研究的新研究结果将用于完善信息和产生新的解释。

The proposed project consists of a series of studies to investigate the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of statewide systemic initiatives on student learning, curriculum, and policy. The first study will analyze mathematics NAEP data at three grade levels for three years (1990, 1992, and 1996). The percent of students at or above mathematics proficiency will be compared for 22 SSI states and 17 non-SSI states. In a second study, existing state assessment data in mathematics and science for targeted states will be studied for total score and scale scores over the time period of 1990 through 1999. The third study will analyze the relationship among change in student outcomes, process indicators, and systemic reform attributes with the level that districts/schools within a state have engaged in a SSI. Additionally, existing information on systemic reform will be mined and summarized through a series of small focus conferences of expert consultants. New research findings from the studies described above will be used to refine the information and generate new interpretations.
