ESR Student Achievement Data Set Analysis

本研究的目标是：-提高对科学探究中评估作用的理解-检查使用现有数据集得出科学探究有效性结论的可行性-开发和测试可用于评估系统性举措有效性的影响模型-制定建议，以帮助指导NSF和其他机构收集和分析数据，以评估教育改革对学生成绩的影响。通过这项研究，将为教育工作者、政策制定者和研究人员提供关于系统性举措对学生成绩的影响、过去如何评估这些举措以及未来如何评估这些举措的更好理解。

The goals of this proposed study are to:- Increase the understanding of the role of evaluation in SI- Examine the feasibility of using existing data sets to draw conclusions about SI effectiveness- Develop and test an impact model that can be used to assess the efficacy of systemic initiatives- Devise recommendations to help guide NSF and others on data collection and analysis to assess the impact of educational reforms on student achievement.Through this study, a greater understanding to educators, policymakers, and researchers will be provided about the impact of systemic initiatives on student achievement, how they have been evaluated in the past, and how they might be evaluated in the future.
