Temple University Science Math Assessment Research for Teachers: TU-SMART

这项为期五年的研究项目将研究在同时进行的本科方法课程和STEM内容课程中强调形成性评估策略对这些职前教师及其学生随后的教学实践的影响。 本研究的重点是未来的中学STEM教师。 它将包括两个治疗组和一个来自坦普尔大学的对照组，坦普尔大学是一所拥有33%少数民族入学率的城市机构。 混合方法的研究设计将检查治疗对教师在实习和入职期间的实践以及对中学生STEM成绩的影响。

This five-year research project would study the impact of emphasizing formative assessment strategies in concurrent undergraduate methods courses and STEM content courses on the subsequent teaching practices of these pre-service teachers and their students. The study focuses on future middle school STEM teachers. It will include two treatment cohorts and a control group from Temple University, an urban institution with a 33% minority enrollment. The mixed methods research design will examine the impact of the treatment on teachers' practices during their practicum and induction years and on the STEM achievement of their middle school students.
