An Assessment of Education Research Doctorate Programs

美国教育研究协会(AERA)和美国国家教育研究院(NAED)将对教育领域的研究型博士项目进行多维研究，以与国家研究委员会(NRC)对其他62个领域进行的大规模评估相平行。NRC拒绝审查教育领域的研究型博士学位。教育研究是产生博士学位的最大领域之一，也是唯一致力于理解科学和数学教育、学习、素养和表现的领域。与NRC评估一样，AERA-NAED研究通过(1)基于来自机构、项目、教师和学生的问卷的定量数据；(2)教师出版和引文数据以及学位论文关键词来评估教育研究型博士项目的特点和质量。数学政策研究公司将承担实地工作、数据清理和数据库准备工作。这是做NRC调查的同一个组织，所以这项研究的结果可以整合起来。

The American Education Research Association (AERA) in conjunction with the National Academy of Education (NAEd) will conduct a multidimensional study of research doctorate programs in education to parallel the large-scale assessment undertaken by the National Research Council (NRC) of 62 other fields. The NRC declined to examine research doctorates in education. Education research is among the largest doctorate-producing fields and the sole one dedicated to understanding science and mathematics education, learning, literacy, and performance. Yet there has been no comprehensive study of research doctorate programs in this field nor has there been an assessment of the state of education and training.Like the NRC assessment, the AERA-NAEd study assesses the characteristics and quality of education research doctorate programs through (1) quantitative data based on questionnaires from institutions, programs, faculty and students; and (2) faculty publication and citation data and dissertation key words. Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. will undertake the fieldwork, data cleaning and database preparation. This is the same organization that does the NRC survey, so results from this study can be integrated.
