Revised Program Evaluation Standards, 3rd Edition: Field Trials of the Applicability and Quality for STEM Program and Project Evaluations

背景和目的教育评估标准联合委员会(JCSEE)是一个独立的、非营利性的美国国家标准协会(ANSI)成员组织，其使命是制定和传播与人员、学生和项目评估相关的标准(JCSEE，1994；2003；印刷中)。JCSEE批准和ANSI认可的标准制定过程在很大程度上依赖于用户和利益攸关方在标准内容和格式制定过程中的投入和反馈。提供项目评估标准质量信息的最重要的利益相关者小组由从事STEM教育的实践者以及课程和项目开发人员组成。PGES发展工作组提议与STEM项目评估有关的STEM教育工作者举行三次全国会议，与PGES工作组成员会面。利益相关者-参加这些会议的人将审查选定的第三版标准草案，并将其应用于评估任务，例如STEM课程、计划或项目改进或责任研究。利用完善的实地试验和审查材料，工作队成员将促进对制定的标准的试验，以确定如何改进STEM教育工作者的典型应用和用途的标准。

Hopson AbstractPROPOSAL SUMMARY: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (JCSEE) is an independent, non-profit, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) member organization whose mission is the development and dissemination of standards related to personnel, student and program evaluation (JCSEE, 1994; 2003; in press). The standards development process as approved by the JCSEE and endorsed by ANSI relies heavily on user and stakeholder input and feedback in the development of standard content and format. A most important group of stakeholders to provide information on the quality of the Program Evaluation Standards is comprised of practicing STEM educators and curriculum and program developers. The PgES Development Task Force is proposing three national meetings of STEM educators with a stake in STEM program evaluation to meet with the PgES Task Force members. Stakeholder-participants at these meetings will review selected 3rd Edition draft standards and apply them to evaluation tasks, such as STEM curriculum, program or project improvement or accountability studies. Using well-developed field trial and review materials, the Task Force members will facilitate trials of the developed standards that result in identifying ways to improve the standards for the typical applications and uses by STEM educators.
