Accomplishment-Based Renewal of the Evaluative Study of Model Institutions for Excellence Based on MIE Self-Evaluation Template

自2002年9月15日以来，系统研究公司一直在进行一项为期两年的国家科学基金资助项目，即基于卓越模型研究所自我评估模板的评估研究(MIE)[HRD-0204166]。系统研究公司自1996年以来一直作为技术助理提供商参与MIE计划，以设计、开发和实施MIE自我评估模板(MSET)，这是一种概念性和可操作性的计划评估工具。自MIE方案开始以来，所有MIE机构都使用MSET来收集其年度进展数据。基于收集的MSET数据库，系统研究公司已经编写、出版和分发了年度MIE事实手册，以提供从基准年到本年度的总体进展报告。系统研究公司正在寻求36个月的资金，以继续收集指标数据，并在计划剩余时间内出版年度事实书籍。MIE Fact Book 2002收录了截至2001-02年度的十年数据。为了完整地介绍该计划，需要在2005-06年度之前提供数据，这是额外的四年。一年一度的事实手册将与MIE机构的第三阶段传播工作同时传播，以说明整个计划的进展情况。此外，将在第三年结束时出版一本包含最佳做法模式的《计划成就要点》小册子，以配合MIE供资的结束。系统研究将继续通过持续的沟通向各个机构提供广泛的技术援助，包括现场讲习班和MIE/MSET年度讲习班。MSET的主页也将继续托管在系统研究的网站上，以加强沟通和传播。广泛的影响除了帮助MIE机构进行自我评估外，这项建议的一个目标是传播MIE模式及其对参与的学院和大学的影响。为了广泛传播，所有出版物将以三种不同的格式提供：印刷本、光盘和网络出版物。MIE事实书籍和计划成就重点与案例故事小册子将在全国范围内分发，向国会、联邦机构、研究和教育界以及所有感兴趣的利益攸关方展示MIE计划的影响。结果报告将通过美国教育研究协会、美国评估协会和国家教育统计中心等各种全国性会议进一步传播。智力成绩MSET已被证明是衡量学生成功指标的有效工具。MSET将进行更新，提供方案期间所有MIE项目的通用绩效衡量标准。现场访问和案例故事将确定最佳做法模式。该项目将继续向参加MIE项目的地点提供广泛的技术援助。个别院校的实况书籍将退还各院校作持续的自我评估。《实况手册》(总体和按机构)将继续成为方案传播的成功模式。MSET年度讲习班将进一步建设关键指标管理和自我评估方面的能力。最终确定的MSET主数据库可用于教育研究人员的进一步分析。

Systemic Research, Inc. has been working on a two year NSF grant, Evaluative Study of ModelInstitutions for Excellence (MIE) Based in MIE Self Evaluation Template (MSET) [HRD-0204166] since September 15, 2002. Systemic Research has been involved in the MIE program since 1996 as a technical assistant provider to design, develop, and implement the MIE Self Evaluation Template (MSET), a conceptual and operational program evaluation instrument. All MIE institutions have utilized MSET since the beginning of the MIE program to collect their annual progress data. Based on the collected MSET database, Systemic Research has compiled, published, and disseminated an Annual MIE Fact Book to present an overall progress report from the baseline year to the current year.Systemic Research, Inc. is seeking 36 months of funding to continue indicator data collection and to publish annual Fact Books for the remainder of the program period. MIE Fact Book 2002 includes a decade of data, through AY 2001-02. For a complete presentation of the program, data is needed through AY 2005-06, four additional years. The annual Fact Books will be disseminated in parallel with the MIE institutions' Phase III dissemination efforts to illustrate overall program progress. In addition, a Program Achievement Highlights booklet including best practice models will be published at the end of the third year to coincide with the conclusion of MIE funding. Systemic Research will continue to provide extensive technical assistance to individual institutions through continuous communication including onsite workshops and annual MIE/MSET workshops. The MSET homepage will also be continued to be hosted in Systemic Research's web site to enhance communication and dissemination.Broad ImpactIn addition to assisting with self evaluation by the MIE institutions, an objective of this proposal is the dissemination of MIE Models and their impact on the participating colleges and universities. For wide dissemination, all publications will be available in three different formats; printed copy, CD-ROM, and web-based publications. The MIE Fact Books and Program Achievement Highlights with Case Stories booklet will be disseminated nation-wide to present the impact of the MIE program to Congress, federal agencies, research and education communities and all interested stakeholders. The outcome reports will be further disseminated through various national conferences such as American Educational Research Association, American Evaluation Association, and National Center for Education Statistics.Intellectual MeritMSET has proven to be an effective instrument for measurement of student success indicators. MSET will be updated provide common measures of performance across all MIE projects for the duration of the program. The site visits and case stories will identify best practice models. The project will continue to provide extensive technical assistance to participating MIE sites. Individual institution's Fact Books will be returned to respective institution for their on-going self-evaluation. The Fact Book (overall and by institution) will continue to be a successful mode of program dissemination. Annual MSET workshops will further build capacity on key indicator management and self evaluation. The finalized MSET Master Database may be used for further analysis among educational researchers.
