National Statistics Teaching Practice Survey: Instrument Development

该项目是开发和试点国家统计教学实践调查（NSTPS）的合作努力的一个组成部分，该调查基于统计教学清单，该清单是作为美国国家科学基金会资助的艺术家项目（DUE-0206571）的一部分而设计的。该项目正在评估和改进仪器，并与其他STEM学科的研究人员合作，使该项目与其他领域的类似工作保持一致。俄亥俄州立大学的姊妹项目（国家统计教学实践调查：规划和在线物流）正在创建在线调查管理机制，创建数据库和报告结构，并管理工具。该工具将共同用于收集和检查多个时间点的试点数据，包括预期发生变化的环境（例如，在衡量最佳做法讲习班参与者的教学变化时）。这两个项目共同为后续工作铺平道路，收集STEM本科课程教学的纵向数据，以跟踪随时间的变化，并衡量教学与基于数据的改进教学方法和材料的建议的一致性。

Assessment/Research (91)This project is one component of a collaborative effort to develop and pilot the National Statistics Teaching Practice Survey (NSTPS), which is based on the Statistics Teaching Inventory, which was designed as part of the NSF-funded ARTIST project (DUE-0206571). This project is evaluating and refining the instrument and working with researchers from other STEM disciplines to align this project with similar efforts in other fields. A sister project (National Statistics Teaching Practice Survey: Planning and online logistics) based at the Ohio State University is creating the mechanism for administering the survey online, creating a data base and report structure, and administering the instrument. Working jointly, the instrument is to be used to gather and examine pilot data over multiple time points, including settings where change is anticipated (e.g. in gauging instructional changes for participants in a best practices workshop). Together these two projects are preparing the way for follow on work to gather longitudinal data on the teaching of STEM undergraduate courses in order to track changes over time and measure the alignment of teaching with data-based recommendations for improvement in teaching methods and materials.
