The long-term goal of this project, funded by EHR's Core Research Program, is to guide and support teacher education programs. Significant research work is currently available about how to best train STEM K-12 teachers. As a result, it is an appropriate time to reflect on what educational researchers have already learned and plan for new research designs and methods that can sustain and extend improvements in STEM teacher education. This project will work with STEM teacher educators to study existing research designs and develop new ones to use in STEM teacher education. Using research to improve STEM teacher education is likely to contribute to increased student learning in K-12 classrooms.Working in partnership with a group of STEM teacher educators, this two-year project aims to: 1) Develop strong research designs that can be realistically embedded in teacher education programs; 2) Identify key K-12 STEM classroom practices and design a proof-of-concept instrument to capture performance on one or more of these practices; 3) Publish working papers that provide guidance to teacher educators and others interested in improving research designs and developing new measures; 4) Conduct and report results of a proof-of-concept study that uses one of the newly developed research designs and measures to evaluate preservice teacher learning; and 5) Create a collaboration between teacher education researchers and educational methodologists aimed at increasing the generation and dissemination of new knowledge about effective STEM teacher education practices. This project includes strong collaborations among STEM education researchers and STEM Teacher Preparation programs, which may have long ranging benefits for improving STEM education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的长期目标由EHR的核心研究计划资助，是指导和支持教师教育计划。 目前，有关如何最好地训练STEM K-12老师的重要研究工作。 结果，现在是时候反思教育研究人员已经学到了什么并计划的新研究设计和方法可以维持和扩展STEM教师教育的改进。 该项目将与STEM教师教育者一起研究现有的研究设计，并开发用于STEM教师教育的新研究设计。 利用研究来改善STEM教师教育，可能会导致K-12教室中的学生学习增加。与一群STEM教师教育者合作，这项为期两年的项目旨在：1）开发可在教师教育计划中现实地嵌入的强大研究设计； 2）确定关键的K-12 STEM课堂实践并设计一种概念验证工具，以捕捉其中一种或多种实践的性能； 3）发表工作论文，为教师教育工作者和其他有兴趣改善研究设计和制定新措施的人提供指导； 4）进行和报告概念证明研究的结果，该研究使用了新开发的研究设计和措施之一来评估职前教师学习； 5）建立教师教育研究人员与旨在增加有关有效STEM教师教育实践的新知识的教育方法学家之间的合作。该项目包括STEM教育研究人员和STEM教师准备计划之间的强有力合作，这些计划可能长期以来在改善STEM教育方面具有收益。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
