The American Association for the Advancement of Science, Capacity Center is conducting a forum in which representatives from key stakeholder groups address the challenges involved in conceptualizing, translating, and implementing traditional and innovative evaluation approaches, strategies, and methods to assess efforts which hold the promise of transforming undergraduate STEM education. The workshop takes initial steps to foster a multi-disciplinary community that engages in cross-disciplinary dialogue and work to develop appropriate theoretically and intellectually rigorous evaluations of undergraduate STEM education. Intellectual Merit: The workshop brings members of the evaluation community and undergraduate STEM disciplinary communities together to 1) examine and improve the conceptualization and implementation of rigorous evaluation of undergraduate STEM education innovation; 2) share lessons learned and best evaluation practices; and 3) investigate and stimulate the development and/or use of innovative or traditional evaluation approaches, strategies, methods, and tools. Given that a major goal of the Division of Undergraduate Education is to transform undergraduate education, the workshop is a forum for stakeholders to examine promising evaluation approaches, strategies, methods, and tools to assess progress toward the achievement of this goal. Broader Impact: Participants at the workshop have roots in a variety of institutions. They represent a cross section of STEM disciplinary faculty who are engaged in the development and/or evaluation of undergraduate STEM educational efforts and professional evaluators who are engaged in the evaluation of undergraduate STEM education projects. Participants also represent key designers/implementers and consumers of evaluation of undergraduate STEM educational innovations.

美国科学促进会能力中心正在举办一个论坛，来自主要利益相关群体的代表将讨论在概念化、翻译和实施传统和创新的评估方法、战略和方法方面所面临的挑战，以评估有望改变本科STEM教育的努力。 该研讨会采取初步措施，以促进多学科社区参与跨学科对话，并努力制定适当的理论和智力严格的本科STEM教育的评估。 智力优势：该研讨会将评估社区和本科STEM学科社区的成员聚集在一起，以1）检查和改进本科STEM教育创新的严格评估的概念化和实施; 2）分享经验教训和最佳评估实践; 3）调查和激励创新或传统评估方法，策略，方法和工具的开发和/或使用。 鉴于本科教育部的一个主要目标是改造本科教育，研讨会是一个论坛，利益相关者审查有前途的评估方法，战略，方法和工具，以评估实现这一目标的进展。 更广泛的影响：研讨会的参与者来自各种机构。 他们代表了STEM学科教师的一个横截面，他们从事本科STEM教育工作的开发和/或评估，以及从事本科STEM教育项目评估的专业评估人员。 参与者还代表了本科STEM教育创新评估的主要设计者/实施者和消费者。
