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

Hopson Abstract提案摘要：教育评估标准联合委员会（JCSEE）是一个独立的、非盈利的美国国家标准学会（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;出版中）。由JCSEE批准并由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。提供有关计划评估标准质量信息的最重要的利益相关者群体由实践STEM教育工作者和课程和计划开发人员组成。PgES发展工作组提议召开三次全国性的STEM教育工作者会议，与PgES工作组成员会面。参加这些会议的利益相关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。工作队成员将利用完善的实地试验和审查材料，促进对已制定标准的试验，从而确定如何改进STEM教育工作者的典型应用和使用标准。

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.
