MSP Motivation Assessment Program

本研究将在动机、自我效能、自我调节策略和学习信念等方面发展新的非认知学业成果测量方法。 本研究关注信念和策略对认知发展的影响。 这些措施可以在MSP项目中使用，以评估各种干预措施对学生的影响。 该研究将通过与数学和科学伙伴关系项目以及其他网站合作收集大量调查数据，并将使用复杂的统计模型分析这些数据。 这项研究的规模将非常大，足以包括对代表性不足群体的具体审查。 调查人员的目标是使新的工具，用于评估学生的动机一般提供给MSP项目，用于增加教师的知识，这些信念的作用，并协助他们帮助学生。 此外，这些工具还旨在协助缔约国评估其执行的有效性。

The study would develop new measures of non-cognitive outcome of schooling on motivation, self-efficiency, self-regulation strategies, and beliefs about learning. The study addresses the concern of the effect of beliefs and strategies on cognitive growth. These measures could be used in the MSP Projects to assess effects of the various interventions on students. The study would gather large pools of survey data by working with the Math and Science Partnership projects as well as other sites and would analyze these data with sophisticated statistical models. The study will be significantly large enough to include a specific examination of underrepresented groups. The goal of the investigators is to make new tools for assessing student motivation generally available to MSP projects to be used for increasing teachers knowledge about the role of these beliefs, and assist them in helping students. Also, the tools are intended to assist MSPs evaluate the effectiveness of their implementation.
