This project seeks to find ways to make the measurement sciences more useful to the production of intellective competence in diverse students of the STEM disciplines. A Study Group on Diversity, Equity and Excellence in Achievement and Assessment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education will be established to address a set of issues posed as critical to the future of assessment for education. Building on the work of the Gordon Commission on the Future of Assessment in Education, the Study Group will undertake a series of activities culminating in the production of a report to the field including conceptual analyses, knowledge syntheses findings, and recommended specifications for a program of research and development to advance STEM education through assessment for education.The Study Group will consist of fifteen research scientists and scholars of pedagogical practice who are being organized to inquire into the potential of the measurement sciences to more effectively inform the teaching and learning of STEM subject matter for students whose development is challenged by the demands of diversity, equity and excellence in intellective competence. Group members are especially interested in balancing the capabilities of the measurement sciences in the assessment of developed abilities, with equal strength in the analysis, documentation and understanding of the learning and teaching processes by which intellective competence is developed. The Group will conduct a conceptual inquiry into the interrelatedness of diversity, equity, and achievement in STEM. Special attention will be given to variance in attributions, contexts and perspectives associated with differences in life conditions, cultural experience and cultural identity. The Study Group will utilize in-person and virtual deliberations; consultative conversations; and commissioned position and review papers to generate recommendations and suggested specifications for programs of research, development and praxis designed to better inform the teaching and, especially, the learning of STEM disciplines.

该项目旨在寻找使测量科学更有助于培养STEM学科不同学生的智力能力的方法。将设立一个科学、技术、工程和数学教育方面的多样化、公平和卓越的成绩和评估研究小组，以解决对教育评估的未来至关重要的一系列问题。在戈登未来教育评估委员会工作的基础上，研究小组将开展一系列活动，最终向现场提交一份报告，包括概念分析、知识综合结果和通过教育评估促进STEM教育的研究和发展计划的建议规范。研究小组将由15名研究科学家和教育实践学者组成，他们正在组织探讨测量科学的潜力，以更有效地为学生提供STEM主题的教和学信息，这些学生的发展受到多样化、公平和卓越智力能力的要求的挑战。小组成员尤其感兴趣的是平衡测量科学在评估发展能力方面的能力，以及在分析、记录和理解通过其发展智力能力的学习和教学过程方面的同等优势。该小组将对STEM的多样性、公平性和成就之间的相互关联性进行概念性调查。将特别注意与生活条件、文化经历和文化特性的差异有关的归属、背景和视角的差异。研究小组将利用面对面和虚拟的讨论、协商对话和委托的立场和审查文件，为研究、开发和实践计划产生建议和建议的规范，旨在更好地为教学，特别是STEM学科的学习提供信息。
