Proposal to Develop OECD Case Studies

经济合作与发展组织(经合组织)正在进行一系列关于科学和数学教育的案例研究，这是其持续关注的一部分，目的是为所有人口提供更有效的教育。随着国际社会变得更加相互依存，不仅是在经济活动方面，而且在环境和其他关切方面，发达国家的共同性程度变得越来越明显。经合组织案例研究项目的一个关键假设是，一项在一个国家令人感兴趣和重要的创新的背景、特点和实施在许多情况下对其他国家也是重要的。拟议的项目将在科学、数学和技术教育方面开展多达10个案例研究。这些研究将被选中，以期代表美国的模范做法。这些研究的框架是由科学、数学和技术教育专家在经合组织会议上设计的(美国专家参加了会议)。实际工作将在美国由联合首席调查员及其同伙在国家公认的科学、数学和技术教育专家小组的建议下进行。

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is carrying out a series of case studies in science and mathematics education as a part of its continuing concern to provide more effective instruction for all of its populations. As the international community becomes more interdependent, not only in economic activity, but in terms of environmental and other concerns, the degree of commonality held by the developed countries in particular becomes more and more evident. A key assumption of the OECD Case Studies Project is that the context, characteristics and implementation of an innovation that is interesting and important in one country will in many instances be significant in other nations, as well. The proposed project will carry out up to ten case studies in science, mathematics and technology education. The studies will be selected with a view to representing exemplary practice in the United States. The framework for the studies has been devised by science, mathematics and technology education experts at OECD conferences (attended by U.S. specialists). The actual work will be carried out in the United States by the co-principal investigators and their associates, with the advice of a panel of nationally recognized experts in science, mathematics and technology education.
