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

摘要：背景与目的教育评估标准联合委员会（JCSEE）是美国国家标准协会（ANSI）的一个独立的、非营利性的成员组织，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; in press）。由JCSEE批准和ANSI认可的标准开发过程在很大程度上依赖于用户和利益相关者在标准内容和格式开发中的输入和反馈。提供项目评估标准质量信息的最重要的利益相关者群体是由实践STEM教育工作者和课程和项目开发人员组成的。PgES发展工作组提议，与STEM项目评估有利害关系的STEM教育工作者举行三次全国会议，与PgES工作组成员会面。这些会议的利益相关者参与者将审查选定的第三版标准草案，并将其应用于评估任务，如STEM课程、计划或项目改进或问责制研究。使用成熟的实地试验和审查材料，工作组成员将促进已开发标准的试验，从而确定改进STEM教育工作者典型应用和使用标准的方法。

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.
