Systemic Research, Inc. proposes to conduct a 24-month evaluative study (from October 2001 toSeptember 2003). During the initial phase, comprehensive secondary data collection will be conducted from various sources, including past Core Data Elements (CDE) reports, Annual Reports submitted toNSF, other key indicators obtainable from the RSIs' own web sites and relevant rural project reports.Systemic Research will develop a Rural Key Indicator Database (RKID) to organize both quantitative andqualitative longitudinal achievement databases over the project period of individual RSI sites. The studyteam will conduct two site visits each year to confirm reform implementation and to write relevant casestories based on observation. Based on completed RKID, both quantitative and qualitative data analysis will be performed to explore an inferential causal model. Study results will be disseminated in threepublications: a two volume Rural Key Indicators of Science and Mathematics Education (Volume I forindividual RSI progress report and Volume II for overall RSI progress reports); a rural education report inbooklet format; and a RSI Evaluative Study Report including case stories of the four sites that werevisited. All publications will be available in three different formats-- printed copy, CD-ROM, and web-basedpublication.

Systemic Research, Inc.提议进行一项为期24个月的评估研究（从2001年10月到2003年9月）。在初始阶段，将从各种来源进行全面的二级数据收集，包括过去的核心数据元素（CDE）报告、提交给NSF的年度报告、可从RSI自己的网站获得的其他关键指标以及相关农村项目报告。系统研究将开发一个农村关键指标数据库（RKID），以组织各个RSI站点在项目期间的定量和定性纵向成果数据库。调研组每年将进行两次实地考察，确认改革实施情况，并根据观察撰写相关案例。基于完成的RKID，将进行定量和定性数据分析，以探索推理因果模型。研究结果将在三份出版物中传播： 两卷本《农村科学和数学教育关键指标》（第一卷为个人 RSI 进度报告，第二卷为总体 RSI 进度报告）；小册子格式的农村教育报告； RSI 评估研究报告，包括所访问的四个地点的案例故事。所有出版物都将以三种不同的格式提供——印刷版、CD-ROM 和网络出版物。
