Process Evaluation of Early School-Based Management Efforts to Improve on Science and Mathematics Education.

本研究历时12个月，旨在探讨校本管理（SMB）对科学和数学教育的影响。最终报告的目的是供全国各地的学校系统人员和其他教育工作者使用。它将为正在考虑或正在实施某种形式的管理管理的系统提供调查结果和建议。这项研究将检查大约18个学校系统，这些系统至少有一年的SBM经验。（6人将接受现场审查，12人将接受广泛的电话面试。）这项研究将集中在7-12年级，将SBM的科学和数学影响与其他学科区分开来。它将采用面对面访谈、焦点小组、半结构化问卷调查和对这些学校文件的审查。采用定性评估程序，本研究将分析以下因素：实际实施的程度、对科学和数学教育实践的影响、发现的问题、缓解问题的行动和缓解程度、与成功实施SBM相关的因素，以及对学生学习和对科学和数学兴趣的影响的初步看法。

This study is a twelve month effort to examine the implications of school-based management (SMB) on science and math education. The final report is intended for use by school system personnel throughout the country and other educators. It will provide findings and recommendations for systems considering, or in the process of implementing, some form of SBM. The study will examine approximately 18 school systems, ones that have had at least one year of experience with SBM. (Six will be examine on-site and twelve by extensive telephone interviewing.) The study will focus on grades 7-12 to separate out SBM's science and math implications from that of other subjects. It will use in- person interviews, focus groups, semi-structured questionnaires, and an examination of documentation from these schools. Using qualitative evaluation procedures, the study will analyze such elements as: Extent of actual implementation, effects on science and math educational practices, problems found, actions to alleviate problems and extent of alleviation, factors associated with successful implementation of SBM, and initial perceptions of effects on student learning and interest in science and math.
