ESR Student Achievement Data Set Analyses

这个项目的目标是评估学生在数学和科学方面的成绩与系统激励计划之间的关系。我们希望通过各种手段来实现这一目标。首先，我们将分析从当地SI站点提供给NSF的现有数据，包括它本身和相对于其他国家数据集。其次，我们将使用两个试点数据分析来访问将本地测试结果与全国科学和数学成绩参考量表(NAEP)进行比较的可行性。最后，我们将向国家科学基金会、参与单位(如学校和学区)和公众传播我们的研究结果。

The goal of this project is to assess the relationship between student achievement in mathematics and science and the System Incentiative Program. We hope to accomplish this through a variety of means. First, we will analyze the existing data made available to the NSF from local SI sites both by itself and relative to other national data sets. Second, we will employ two pilot data analyses to access the fasibility of comparing local test results to a national reference scale of science and math performance (the NAEP). Finally, we will disseminate our findings to the NSF, participating units (such as schools and school districts) and the general public.
