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：空白，Rolf K. 机构名称：理事会的首席国家学校官员的标题：元分析研究的影响，教师专业发展与数学或科学内容的重点，以改善教学和学习这一综合项目将收集经验研究的教师专业发展在数学或科学，并进行元分析。 这些研究将来自最近对MSP项目、州机构和其他研究人员尚未宣布的地方的评估，由于联邦项目和NSF对MSP的资助需求，预计这些研究将更加丰富。 这项研究的目的是衡量在何种程度上提高教师素质，通过改进准备，是有效的。 统计计量将包括学生成绩和教师发展计量。 这项研究将提供各州以及全国平均水平的信息，说明教师对内容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.
