Relevance of Culture in Evaluation Institute: Implementing and Empirically Investigating Culturally Responsive Evaluation in Underperforming Schools

摘要提案编号：0438482PI: Stafford hood机构：亚利桑那州立大学标题：文化在评估中的相关性研究所：在表现不佳的学校中实施和实证调查文化响应性评估。本项目旨在建立在文化相关性评估研究所（项目0335699）正在进行的活动的基础上，以推进文化相关评估策略的发展，例如在2002年美国国家科学基金会项目评估用户友好手册的主要研究者共同撰写的部分中提出的策略。通过在学校环境中使用这些策略并对其进行实证调查，该项目旨在开发一个可持续变化的模型，以改善文化背景是一个显著特征的项目的评估，同时扩大代表性不足群体的参与。该项目的目标是：1)制定一个框架，为寻求对文化背景作出反应的评估人员提供可操作性和指导；2)通过增加准备在文化背景是一个重要特征的环境中工作的评估人员的数量，在教育界建立能力；3)为表现不佳的学校建立和完善可持续变化和改进评估的模型。

ABSTRACTProposal number: 0438482PI: Stafford HoodInstitution: Arizona State UniversityTitle: Relevance of Culture in Evaluation Institute: Implementing and Empirically Investigating Culturally Responsive Evaluation in Underperforming Schools. This project is intended to build upon ongoing activities in the Relevance of Culture in Evaluation Institute (Project 0335699) to advance the development of culturally relevant evaluation strategies such as those proposed in the Principal Investigator's co-authored section of the NSF 2002 User-Friendly Handbook for Project Evaluation. By utilizing these strategies in school settings and empirically investigating them the project is intended to develop a model for sustainable change in improving evaluations of programs where cultural context is a salient feature and at the same time broaden the participation of underrepresented groups. The project objectives are: 1) to develop a framework that will operationalize and provide guidance to evaluators seeking to be responsive to cultural context, 2) build capacity within the educational community by increasing the number of evaluators prepared to work in settings where cultural context is an important feature, and 3) build and refine a model of sustainable change and improvement of evaluation for schools that are underperforming.
