Analyzing Funding and Publication Patterns in STEM Education Research: Establishing a Baseline for Improved Monitoring of Research to Advance STEM Education

该项目将由生物科学课程研究进行，将分析和综合有关教育研究资金和出版模式的信息，以增加对国家研究理事会（NRC）2013年报告中建议的科学教育研究状况的了解。 该项目将从方法论的角度审查过去的研究。 此外，该项目还将研究如何解决与扩大和扩大STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）教育和STEM劳动力的参与以及提高所有学生的STEM素养有关的结果。 该项目将促进教育人力资源局在促进STEM教育研究方面的工作。2001年至今资助或出版的教育研究报告将被视为符合审查条件。 需要解决的问题将包括以下内容。 尝试从学生选择效应中分离项目效应的实验或准实验研究的数量和比例是多少？ 有多少相关的，实验性的，或准实验性的研究，试图解决的影响，教学和学习过程中的环境因素正在研究的数量和比例？ 相关性、实验性或准实验性研究的数量和比例是多少，这些研究涉及与NRC STEM教育战略目标相关的结果？

This project, to be conducted by Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, will analyze and synthesize information about education research funding and publication patterns, to increase understanding about the state of science education research as recommended in a 2013 report by the National Research Council (NRC). This project will examine past research studies in terms of methodology. In addition, the project will examine how studies address outcomes related to expanding and broadening participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and the STEM workforce, as well as increasing STEM literacy for all students. The project will advance the work of the Education & Human Resources (EHR) directorate in fostering research on STEM education.Education research studies funded or published from 2001 to the present will be considered eligible for review. Questions to be addressed will include the following. What are the number and proportion of experimental or quasi-experimental studies that attempt to disentangle program effects from student selection effects? What are the number and proportion of correlational, experimental, or quasi-experimental studies that attempt to address the effects of context on the teaching and learning process and what context factors are being studied? What are the number and proportion of correlational, experimental, or quasi-experimental studies that address outcomes related to NRC strategic goals for STEM education?
