1999 National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education

这将是1977年开始的一系列全国科学和数学教师调查中的第四次。共有1800所学校和9000名教师将被纳入具有全国代表性的样本。许多以前使用过的物品将被重复使用，以提供随时间变化的直接指示。调查的重点将放在课程设置和招生、教师特点和经验以及教师实践方面。调查还将增加一些新的主题，特别是国家数学和科学标准的影响。在美国国家科学基金会的数学和科学卓越总统奖教学计划中，检查与全国教师样本的异同。

This will be the fourth in a series of National surveys of science and mathematics teachers that began in 1977. A total of 1800 schools and 9000 teachers will be included in a Nationally representative sample. A number of previously used items will be repeated to provide a direct indication of change over time. Emphasis in the survey will be placed on course offerings and enrollments, teacher characteristics and expperiences, and teacher practices.Items will be also added to address new topics, particularly the influence of national mathematics and science standards.
