Meta-Analysis Study of the Effects of Teacher Professional Development with a Math or Science Content Focus on Improving Teaching and Learning

Prop ID：REC-0635409 PI：BLACK，Rolf K.机构：首席州立学校官员委员会标题：关注改善教学的数学或科学内容教师专业发展影响的元分析研究这个综合项目将收集关于数学或科学教师专业发展的实证研究，并对其进行元分析。这些研究将从最近对MSP项目、州机构和各种其他地方的评估中找到，这些评估尚未由研究人员宣布，由于联邦项目和NSF对MSP的资金需求，预计这些评估将更加丰富。这项研究的目的是衡量通过改进准备来提高教师素质的有效程度。统计指标将包括学生成绩和教师发展指标。这项研究将提供各州以及全国平均水平的信息，说明教师对教学领域的理解在多大程度上使他们成为更有效的教师。

Prop ID: REC-0635409 PI: Blank, Rolf K. Institution: Council of Chief State School Officers Title: Meta-Analysis Study of the Effects of Teacher Professional Development with a Math or Science Content Focus on Improving Teaching and Learning This synthesis project would collect empirical studies of teacher professional development in mathematics or science and conduct a meta-analysis of them. The studies would be located from recent evaluations of MSP project, state agencies, and various other places that are yet to be announced by the researchers and are expected to be more abundant because of the demands of federal programs and NSF funding for the MSP. The purpose of the study is to measure the extent to which improving teacher quality, through improved preparation, is effective. The statistical measurements would include student achievement as well as teacher development measures. The study would provide information across states as well as national averages about the extent to which teacher understanding of content areas makes them more effective teachers.
