Developing Measures of Instructional Improvement

该项目将制定改善教学的学习措施。随着人们对教学改进的兴趣日益浓厚，了解不同的干预措施是如何起作用的，对于那些寻求改善学校的人来说将是很重要的。有关干预措施的有用知识不仅必须提供对效果的分析或对实施情况的描述，而且必须提供在实施此类干预措施的教育环境中制定动态的期限。研究人员刚刚开始开发对建立这类知识至关重要的措施。这个项目将为研究教学改进和工具制定理论框架，并根据这些框架制定分析计划。

This project would develop measures for studying efforts to improve instruction. With increasing interest in instructional improvement, knowledge of how different interventions work will be important to those who seek to improve schools. Useful knowledge of interventions must provide not only analyses of effects or descriptions of implementation, but expirations of the dynamics of enactment in the educational environments in which such interventions are made. Researchers are just beginning to develop, measures critical to building such knowledge. This project would develop theoretical frameworks for the study of instructional improvement and instruments and analytic schemes based on those frameworks.
