摘要记录972552 得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校将完成一个新的教育中心的初步规划，称为科学，技术和数学教育改进中心。 该中心成立后，将为系统改进科学、数学和技术教学的研究建立国家基础设施。 主要的学科重点将是实施基于标准的教学，并提供支持政策和技术。 规划阶段将建立支持中心所需的基础设施。 所开展的活动将包括：在大学内部和与国家建立伙伴关系;制定组织和管理战略;建立实施活动的地点;以及制定相应的研究生课程。 大部分计划将通过一系列小型会议来完成，每次会议都侧重于中心基础设施的一个特定方面。

ABSTRACT REC 972552 The University of Texas at Austin will accomplish the preliminary planning for a new educational center, called the Center for the Improvement of Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education. The Center, when established, will develop the national infrastructure for research on systemic improvement of science, mathematics and technology instruction. The primary discipline focus would be on the implementation of standards-based instruction, with supporting policy and technology. The planning phase will establish the infrastructure necessary to support the Center. The activities undertaken will include: forging partnerships, within the University and with the state; developing organizational and managerial strategies; establishing sites for implementation activities; and developing a corresponding graduate program. Much of the planning will be accomplished through a series of small conferences, each with a focus on a particular aspect of the Center infrastructure.
