The Association between Population Policies, School Safety, and Education

在这个项目中，国家一级的人口方法对学校一级的安全和教育成果和学生一级的学校一级的安全和教育成果的看法的影响进行了检查。 健康和安全的学校对教育的进步、成功和成就很重要。 随着美国在人口结构上变得更加多样化，了解各州对人口的处理方式如何影响学校安全和教育以及学生对学校安全和教育的看法变得更加重要。 这项研究的结果与教育方面的决策者和利益攸关方有关。 本项目由社会学项目和扩大参与科学项目联合支持。本研究将利用多个具有全国代表性的数据集。 全国州立法机构会议的数据将用于评估各州对人口的态度的变化。 不同的结果变量将取自学校犯罪调查，安全; 2009年高中纵向研究;和共同核心数据。 将采用各种统计分析来调查人口方法，学校安全，教育和相关的学生perceptions.This奖项之间的关联反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

In this project, the effects of state-level population approaches both on school-level safety and educational outcomes and on student-level perceptions of school-level safety and educational outcomes are examined. It is likely that healthy and safe schools are important for educational progress, success, and attainment. As the United States becomes more demographically diverse, it becomes more important to understand how states’ approaches to population may affect school safety and education and students’ perceptions of school safety and education. Results of this research are relevant to decision makers and stakeholders concerned with education. This project is supported jointly by the Sociology Program and the Science of Broadening Participation Program.This research will draw from multiple nationally representative datasets. The National Conference of State Legislatures data will be used to assess change in state approaches to populations. The different outcome variables will be taken from the School Survey on Crime, Safety; the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009; and Common Core Data. Various statistical analyses will be employed to investigate the association between population approaches, school safety, education, and related student perceptions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
