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

这项研究是一项为期12个月的研究， 校本管理对科学和数学的影响 教育 最终报告供学校系统使用 全国各地的教育工作者和其他人员。 它将 提供调查结果和建议，供系统考虑，或 实施某种形式的校本管理的过程。 这项研究将审查大约18个学校系统， 至少有一年的SBM经验。 (Six将 现场检查和12通过广泛的电话面试。 这项研究将集中在7-12年级，以分离出SBM的科学 和其他学科的数学含义。 它将用于- 个人访谈，焦点小组，半结构化问卷， 并对这些学校的文件进行检查。 使用 定性评价程序，研究将分析，如 实际执行的程度、对科学的影响 和数学教育实践，发现的问题， 缓解问题和缓解程度、相关因素 成功地实施了基于成果的管理， 影响学生的学习和对科学和数学的兴趣。

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.
