Advancing the State-of-the-Art in Evaluation: Field-Testing and Disseminating an Educative, Values-Engaged Approach to Evaluating STEM Education Programs

这是2002年资助的一个项目的后续行动。它寻求继续发展一种教育的、注重价值观的STEM教育评估方法，解决项目质量和教育公平的问题，即将价值观纳入STEM项目的评估。该方法侧重于评估对STEM知识生成和学习的重要贡献，以及在STEM教育政策、方案和实践中平等获得机会和代表性的政治要求。它提出了关于公平和价值多样性对STEM教育的影响的问题，从而为理解STEM教育有效性的差异提供了一种新的方法

This is a follow-up to a project funded in 2002. It seeks to continue the development of an educative, values-engaged approach to STEM education evaluation that addresses questions of program quality and educational equity, i.e., integrate values into the evaluation of STEM programs. The approach focuses on the important contribution of evaluation to STEM knowledge generation and learning and to the political requirements for equal access, opportunity and representation in STEM educational policies, programs and practices. It raises questions about the impact of equity and diversity of values on STEM education and thus offers a new approach to understanding the disparities in STEM education effectiveness
