Case Studies of U.S. Innovations in Mathematics and Science and Technology Education in an International Context

在这个为期三年的项目中，经验丰富的实地研究人员， 在美国领导人咨询委员会的指导下， 数学和科学教育改革运动，将 深入开展八大改革案例研究 80年代的创新。 创新包括：NCTM 2061计划，城市数学 协作，加州的科学系统改革 教育，化学在社区，咪咪的航行， 儿童网络和当代微积分通过 应用. 同时，通过中心协调， 教育研究与创新（CERI） 经济合作与发展组织（经合组织）， 小学和中学的平行案例研究 数学、科学和技术的改革努力 将在欧洲约14个国家开展教育， 和亚洲 (The其他国家将资助该研究项目 在自己国家的费用）。 全面整合 研究将由一个国际指导委员会处理， 以马克思 这种整合将涉及使用一个共同的 分析方案和解释框架，并将导致 在一个主要的会议和摘要卷，其中所有结果 将以适当的形式报告， 教育研究和政策团体。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 每个国家都将发表一份长达一本书的报告， 通过CERI协调，这将提供有关 每个国家的研究。 这些跨国研究应有助于决策者在 美国和其他国家在学习的经验， 其他系统在制定和完善国家目标方面的作用。 这 基金由NSF和教育部共同资助 （教育研究和改进办公室）， 来自NSF，主要涵盖美国案例研究和基金 从OERI主要致力于整合和 对跨国视角的解读。

In this three-year project, experienced field researchers, guided by an advisory committee of leaders of the American mathematics and science education reform movement, will conduct intensive case studies of eight major reform innovations of the 1980s. The innovations include: the NCTM standards project, Project 2061, the Urban Mathematics Collaborative, California's systemic reform of science education, Chemistry in the Community, Voyage of the Mimi, Kids Network, and Contemporary PreCalculus Through Applications. Simultaneously, coordinated through the Center for Education Research and Innovation (CERI) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), parallel sets of case studies of elementary and secondary reform efforts in mathematics, science, and technology education will be undertaken in about 14 countries in Europe and Asia. (The other nations will cover the research project costs in their own countries.) Overall integration of the studies will be handled by an international steering committee. Such integration will involve the use of a common analytical scheme and interpretive framework, and will result in a major conference and summary volume in which all results will be reported in a form suitable for dissemination to the educational research and policy communities. In addition, there will be a published book-length report for each nation, coordinated through CERI, that will give full detail on the studies of each country. These cross-national studies should aid policy makers in the U.S. and other nations in learning from the experience of other systems in setting and refining national goals. This grant is co-funded by NSF and the Department of Education (Office of Educational Research and Improvement), with funds from NSF covering primarily the U.S. case studies and funds from OERI devoted primarily to the integration and interpretation of the cross-national perspective.
