Assessing the State of STEM Concept Inventories: A National Workshop

（59）该项目的目标是组织和主持一个为工程和工程科学课程设计的STEM概念清单（ci）的国家研讨会。研究人员计划举行为期两天的研讨会，以解决以下问题：(1)STEM学科的概念清单开发现状如何？(2)当前投资组合中缺少哪些ci ？(3)哪些基础设施需求（例如，组织和支持正在进行的工作的国家数据库和战略）将促进CI的发展和改进？(4)如何传播ci的结果，告知教师如何利用ci来评估他们的教学，并最终改变他们的教学实践？指导委员会正在邀请参与CI工作的教育工作者，并在研讨会中组织两层形式，大小组活动突出成功的方法和方法，然后是小组会议，探索扩大和适应这些方法的机会。指导委员会还邀请了第二组参与者，他们在ci方面的经验有限，但提供了更多的多样性，重点是代表性不足的群体。讲习班期间的活动旨在促进盘存编制人员之间的更大合作，并灌输开始新盘存的愿望。评估数据的收集采用一项调查，既有强制选择，也有开放式回答。正在编制更多的讲习班和在专业学会会议上的正式报告，以及一个网站，以传播这一努力的成果。各种教员的参与和材料的传播将有助于讲习班产生更广泛的影响。

Engineering - Other (59)The goal of the project is to organize and host a national workshop on STEM concept inventories (CIs) designed for engineering and engineering science courses. The investigators are planning a two-day workshop to address the following questions: (1) What is the current state of concept inventory development across the STEM disciplines? (2) What CIs are missing from the current portfolio? (3) What infrastructural needs (e.g., a national database and strategies for organizing and supporting the ongoing efforts) would facilitate CI development and refinement? and (4) How can the results of CIs be disseminated to inform faculty how to utilize CIs to assess their teaching and ultimately change their pedagogical practice? A steering committee is inviting educators who have been involved in CI work and is organizing a two-tiered format in the workshop, with large-group activities highlighting successful approaches and methods, followed by small-group sessions to explore opportunities for broadening and adapting these approaches. The steering committee also is inviting a second group of participants who have limited experience with CIs but who provide more diversity, with an emphasis on underrepresented groups. Activities during the workshop are being designed to foster greater collaboration between inventory developers and instill the desire to begin new inventories. Evaluation data is being collected using a survey with both forced choices and open-ended responses. Additional workshops and formal presentations at professional society meetings, along with a website, are being developed to disseminate the results of this effort. The participation of a diverse set of faculty members and the dissemination of the material will contribute to the workshop's broader impacts.
