Systemic Initiatives: Student Achievement Analysis Study

四个研究问题将指导该项目的工作：1 -什么是最有效的方式提交给NSF的数据集的系统性倡议可以用于评估系统改革的成功和了解其动态，无论是winthin和跨SI？2.回答上述研究问题#1所需的分析精度如何取决于学生评估和数据的质量，包括测试的可靠性，有效性和可比性？3.什么样的分析统计模型最适合将系统主动性与学生成绩联系起来的数据，以及如何在原型分析中证明这些数据？4.从这一项目中可以吸取哪些经验教训，并向实地通报哪些数据库设计和分析对评价和理解系统性改革或多或少有用？

Four research questions will guide the project's work:1 - What are the most effective ways the data sets submitted to NSF by systemic initiatives can be used for evaluating the success of systemic reform and understanding its dynamics, both winthin and across SIs?2 - How is the precision of analysis required to answer research question #1 above dependent upon qualities of the student assessments and data, including reliability, validity, and comparability of the tests?3 - What analytic statistical models best fit the data linking the systemic initiative to student achievement and how can these be demonstrated in a prototyype analyses?4 - What lessons can be learned and communicated to the field from this project about the kind of database design and analysis that is more and less useful for evaluating and understanding systemic reform?
