Temple University Science Math Assessment Research for Teachers: TU-SMART

这个为期五年的研究项目将研究在并行本科方法课程和STEM内容课程中强调形成性评估策略对这些职前教师及其学生后续教学实践的影响。这项研究的重点是未来的中学STEM教师。它将包括两个治疗组和一个来自天普大学（Temple University）的对照组。天普大学是一所城市院校，少数族裔入学率为33%。混合方法研究设计将检查治疗对教师在实习和入职期间的实践以及对中学生STEM成绩的影响。

This five-year research project would study the impact of emphasizing formative assessment strategies in concurrent undergraduate methods courses and STEM content courses on the subsequent teaching practices of these pre-service teachers and their students. The study focuses on future middle school STEM teachers. It will include two treatment cohorts and a control group from Temple University, an urban institution with a 33% minority enrollment. The mixed methods research design will examine the impact of the treatment on teachers' practices during their practicum and induction years and on the STEM achievement of their middle school students.
