Systemic Initiatives: Student Achievement Analysis Study

四个研究问题将指导该项目的工作：1--由系统性倡议提交给NSF的数据集可以用来评估系统改革的成功并了解其动态的最有效方式是什么，无论是胜利的还是跨SIS的？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，包括可靠性、有效性、测试的可比性？3-什么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？如何在原型分析中展示这些？4-从这个项目中可以学到什么教训，并从这个项目中向现场传达关于数据库设计和分析的那种对评估和理解系统改革越来越有用的经验？

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?
