This project aims to serve the national interest by contributing to the understanding of experiences of students and instructors of assessment strategies aligned with active learning methods. Towards this goal the project will seek to incorporate the student voice into professional development experiences for collegiate mathematics instructors. In particular, this project will focus on assessment strategies that are aligned with the values and practices of active learning. The community of practice model for supporting instructors in implementing active learning strategies has successfully impacted student learning outcomes. This project will extend that work to examine perceptions and impacts of active assessment. Much of previous literature around assessment has isolated either instructor or student perspectives, but this project will integrate student and instructor perspectives to build a more holistic picture of the impacts of active assessment, and improve faculty assessment practices by considering their impact on students. This capacity building project will use mixed methods in mathematics education research to contribute to the body of knowledge around assessment practices, integrating student and instructor perspectives, and college mathematics instructor professional development. The research will center the experiences of students from groups that have been historically excluded from mathematics education. It will build knowledge in student experience through qualitative methods that consider the intersection of identities. The project will bring student perspectives into a direct feedback loop for instructors in active assessment communities of practice, scaffolding instructors to adjust practices in ways that are responsive to what is and is not working for students. Additionally, the project will build our nation’s capacity for high-quality STEM education research and practice through faculty training. The project is supported by NSF's EHR Core Research Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (ECR: BCSER) program, which is designed to build investigators’ capacity to carry out high-quality STEM education research.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.

该项目旨在通过帮助了解学生和教师对与积极学习方法相一致的评估战略的经验，为国家利益服务。为了实现这一目标，该项目将寻求将学生的声音纳入大学数学教师的专业发展经验。特别是，这个项目将侧重于评估战略，与积极学习的价值观和实践相一致。支持教师实施主动学习策略的实践社区模式已成功影响了学生的学习成果。本项目将扩大这项工作，以审查积极评估的看法和影响。以往的评估文献中，教师或学生的观点都是孤立的，但本项目将整合学生和教师的观点，以建立一个更全面的主动评估的影响，并通过考虑他们对学生的影响，改善教师评估的做法。这个能力建设项目将在数学教育研究中使用混合方法，为评估实践的知识体系做出贡献，整合学生和教师的观点，以及大学数学教师的专业发展。这项研究将集中在历史上被排除在数学教育之外的群体的学生的经验。它将通过考虑身份交叉点的定性方法在学生体验中建立知识。该项目将把学生的观点纳入一个直接的反馈循环，为教师在积极的评估实践社区，脚手架教师调整的方式，是什么是和不工作的学生。此外，该项目将通过教师培训建立我国高质量STEM教育研究和实践的能力。该项目由NSF的EHR Core Research Building Capacity in STEM Education Research（ECR：BCSER）项目提供支持，该项目旨在培养研究人员开展高质量STEM教育研究的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，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，被认为值得支持。
