Lessons Learned from Research on Systemic Reform

项目摘要0343836Horizon，Inc.建议组织一次会议，召集在监测、评估、评价和开展NSF资助的系统性倡议（SI）研究方面最活跃的关键研究人员。 一个组织委员会将举行会议，制定一个框架，捕捉什么可以从目前的研究，然后在华盛顿，DC的代表参加了一项研究的每个网站的会议。 其目的是汇集研究人员和实施者，讨论系统性改革的影响的观点和证据。学术价值会议的目的是利用研究结果，以确定系统性改革是否有效地缩小了学生群体之间的成绩差距。 因此，通过研究建设更好的教育基础设施的影响，并评估对科学和数学教学的影响，可以利用研究结果来改进方法，并确定衡量全系统改革进展情况的可靠措施。设想会议的成果将有助于指导科学和数学界，并协助那些对大规模科学和数学项目进行研究的人。 此外，在一个地方联合综合研究将提高其整体使用，同时建立一个共识框架，并证明可靠性和有效性的工具很可能被其他研究人员使用。

Project Abstract0343836Horizon, Inc. proposes to organize a conference to bring together key researchers most active in monitoring, assessing, evaluating, and conducting research studies on the NSF-funded systemic initiatives (SIs). An organizing committee will meet to develop a framework for capturing what can be learned from current research followed by a conference in Washington, DC for representatives for each site that participated in a research study. The intent is to bring together researchers and implementers to discuss perspectives and evidence of the impact of systemic reform.Intellectual MeritThe aim of the conference is to use findings from research to determine if systemic reform was effective in narrowing the achievement gap among subpopulations of students. Thus, by looking at the impact of the building a better education infrastructure and on assessing the impact on teaching and learning science and mathematics, the results can be used to advance methodologies and in identifying reliable measures for gauging progress of system wide reform.Broader ImpactHorizon, Inc. envisions that the outcomes from the conference to be useful in guiding the science and mathematics community and assisting those who do research on large-scale science and mathematics programs. Moreover, jointly synthesizing the studies in one place will enhance their overall use while building a consensus framework and instruments of demonstrated reliability and validity are likely to be used by other researchers nationally.
