State-Based Network to Develop Science and Mathematics Indicators

这是1986财年授予首席州立学校官员委员会(CCSSO)的一项奖励的延续。在第一年，在各州进行了一次盘点，以确定它们现在收集的关于数学和科学教育的维度和质量的信息，使用国家研究理事会正在为这些指标开发的框架，并应用数据收集“穿梭”程序来描述每个州如何定义和收集信息。在第二年，将参照新出现的数学/科学教育指标模型对通过清单汇编的信息进行分析，并将为每个州制定数学/科学指标的战略和优先事项，使各州走向重要的、技术上可接受的信息的标准模式。在第一年的工作结束时，对该项目进行了一次重要的现场审查。审查官员一致建议，该项目是有价值的，应该至少再继续一年。

This is a continuation of an award made to the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) in FY 1986. In the first year, an inventory was conducted in the states to identify the information they now collect on the dimensions and quality of mathematics and science education, using the framework being developed for such indicators by the National Research Council, and applying a data-collection "shuttle" procedure to describe how each state defines and collects the information. In the second year, the information compiled through the inventory will be analyzed with reference to emerging models for indicators of math/science education, and strategies and priorities will be set for the development of math/science indicators in each state that will bring states toward a standard model of important, technically-acceptable information. At the end of the first year's work, a major on-site review was made of the project. It was the unanimous recommendation of the reviewing officials that the project is meritorious and should be continued for at least another year.
