An Assessment of Education Research Doctorate Programs

美国教育研究协会（AERA）将与美国国家教育学会（NAEd）共同对教育学博士学位项目进行多维度研究，以配合美国国家研究委员会（NRC）对其他62个领域进行的大规模评估。NRC拒绝审查教育学研究博士学位。教育研究是产生博士学位最多的领域之一，也是唯一致力于理解科学和数学教育、学习、读写能力和表现的领域。然而，在这一领域，既没有对研究型博士课程进行全面的研究，也没有对教育和培训状况进行评估。与NRC评估一样，AERA-NAEd研究通过以下方式评估教育研究型博士课程的特点和质量：(1)基于机构、项目、教师和学生问卷的定量数据；(2)教师发表、被引数据和论文关键词。Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.将承担实地调查、数据清理和数据库准备工作。NRC的调查也是由这个机构进行的，所以这项研究的结果可以被整合。

The American Education Research Association (AERA) in conjunction with the National Academy of Education (NAEd) will conduct a multidimensional study of research doctorate programs in education to parallel the large-scale assessment undertaken by the National Research Council (NRC) of 62 other fields. The NRC declined to examine research doctorates in education. Education research is among the largest doctorate-producing fields and the sole one dedicated to understanding science and mathematics education, learning, literacy, and performance. Yet there has been no comprehensive study of research doctorate programs in this field nor has there been an assessment of the state of education and training.Like the NRC assessment, the AERA-NAEd study assesses the characteristics and quality of education research doctorate programs through (1) quantitative data based on questionnaires from institutions, programs, faculty and students; and (2) faculty publication and citation data and dissertation key words. Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. will undertake the fieldwork, data cleaning and database preparation. This is the same organization that does the NRC survey, so results from this study can be integrated.
