项目摘要
This project builds upon a successful NSF-funded Math and Science Partnership that developed a collaborative master's degree program for K-5 Mathematics Specialists (math coaches) in the State of Virginia. The prior work demonstrated that the model enhanced the ability of K-5 teachers who are supported by Mathematics Specialists to provide high quality mathematics instruction, and resulted in improved student achievement on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) tests. The State of Virginia has adopted new licensure standards for Mathematics Specialists. In this project, the original team of collaborating colleges and universities expands the Mathematics Specialist model to rural school systems in Virginia, using a combination of distance and face-to-face learning. In addition, mechanisms are being provided to support Specialists as they work in remote environments. The research is designed to learn how a new group of rural Mathematics Specialists work in rural school districts, focusing on the impact of mathematics coaches and elementary school teachers as they work together to improve mathematics instruction. The project examines changes in beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning for mathematics coaches and for elementary math teachers. It will also measure the impact of the Mathematics Specialist model on K-5 student mathematics achievement. In addition, an extensive case study documents the State of Virginia's policy, legislative and regulatory decisions as the new Mathematics Specialists program is implemented. The case illuminates how this model for improving elementary mathematics education scales-up and is institutionalized. This study stands to make a substantial contribution to STEM education for several reasons. First, there is national interest in the use of mathematics coaches as a vehicle to improve elementary mathematics instruction and student outcomes. This project is providing research on the effectiveness of this well-defined mathematics coach model. Second, research on the effectiveness of distance education for STEM teacher professional development is sorely needed, and this study can provide insights. Third, this is a promising model for studying the scale-up of the use of mathematics coaches in Virginia, and includes how the State's policy environment was affected (or not) by the research results. Substantial background research has shown that policy decisions often are made without consideration of research results, but this project builds the research results (and researchers) into the policy environment. Fourth, the master's program for Mathematics Specialists is delivered collaboratively by four different public institutions of higher education in Virginia, and involves public school superintendents and state-level policy makers. This collaboration can illuminate how scale-up occurs, and may influence national policy and practice in elementary mathematics education.
这个项目建立在一个成功的NSF资助的数学和科学伙伴关系的基础上,该伙伴关系为弗吉尼亚州的K-5数学专家(数学教练)开发了一个合作的硕士学位课程。先前的工作表明,该模型增强了由数学专家支持的K-5教师提供高质量数学指导的能力,并导致学生在弗吉尼亚学习标准(SOL)考试中取得更好的成绩。弗吉尼亚州为数学专家采用了新的执照标准。在这个项目中,最初的合作学院和大学团队将数学专家模式扩展到弗吉尼亚州的农村学校系统,使用远程和面对面学习的组合。此外,还提供了支持专家在远程环境中工作的机制。这项研究旨在了解新一批农村数学专家是如何在农村学区工作的,重点是数学教练和小学教师在共同努力改善数学教学方面的影响。该项目调查了数学教练和小学数学教师对数学教与学的看法的变化。它还将衡量数学专家模式对K-5学生数学成绩的影响。此外,随着新的数学专家计划的实施,一项广泛的案例研究记录了弗吉尼亚州的政策、立法和监管决定。案例说明了这种改善小学数学教育的模式是如何扩大和制度化的。由于几个原因,这项研究将对STEM教育做出实质性贡献。首先,使用数学教练作为改善小学数学教学和学生成绩的工具符合国家利益。本项目对这种定义明确的数学教练模式的有效性进行了研究。其次,对远程教育对STEM教师专业发展的有效性进行研究是非常必要的,本研究可以提供一些启示。第三,这是一个很有希望的模型,用于研究弗吉尼亚州数学教练的使用规模,并包括研究结果如何影响(或不影响)该州的政策环境。大量的背景研究表明,决策往往是在不考虑研究结果的情况下做出的,但该项目将研究结果(和研究人员)纳入政策环境。第四,针对数学专家的硕士课程由弗吉尼亚州四所不同的公立高等教育机构合作提供,涉及公立学校的负责人和州一级的政策制定者。这一合作可以说明规模扩大是如何发生的,并可能影响国家在小学数学教育方面的政策和实践。
