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

系统研究公司自2002年9月15日以来，他一直致力于一项为期两年的美国国家科学基金会资助项目，即基于MIE自我评估模板（MSET）[HRD-0204166]的卓越模式机构（MIE）评估研究。自1996年以来，系统研究一直参与MIE计划，作为设计，开发和实施MIE自我评估模板（MSET）的技术援助提供商，这是一种概念和操作程序评估工具。自MIE计划开始以来，所有MIE机构都使用MSET来收集其年度进展数据。根据收集的MSET数据库，系统研究公司编制、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。正在寻求36个月的资金，以继续收集指标数据，并在计划期的剩余时间内出版年度事实书籍。2002年MIE实况手册包括截至2001- 2002学年的十年数据。为了完整地介绍该方案，需要2005- 2006学年的数据，即另外四年。每年的实况手册将与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，将在第三年年底出版一本包括最佳做法模式的《方案成就要点》小册子，以配合MIE供资的结束。系统研究将继续提供广泛的技术援助，个别机构通过不断沟通，包括现场研讨会和年度MIE/MSET研讨会。MSET主页也将继续托管在Systemic Research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，本提案的一个目标是传播MIE模型及其对参与学院和大学的影响。为了广泛传播，所有出版物将以三种不同的形式提供：印刷本、光盘和网上出版物。将在全国范围内散发《MIE事实书和项目成就要点及案例》小册子，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介绍MIE项目的影响。成果报告将通过各种全国性会议进一步传播，如美国教育研究协会、美国评估协会和国家教育统计中心。MSET将更新，为所有MIE项目在计划期间提供共同的绩效衡量标准。实地访问和案例将确定最佳做法模式。该项目将继续向参与的MIE地点提供广泛的技术援助。个别院校的便览会交还有关院校，供院校作持续的自我评估。概况介绍（总体和按机构分列）将继续是方案传播的一种成功模式。每年的管理、统计和技术讲习班将进一步建设关键指标管理和自我评价方面的能力。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.
