Collaborative Research Validity Evidence Measurement

项目摘要

As education has shifted more towards data-driven policy and research initiatives in the last several decades, data for policy-related aspects are often expected to be more quantitative in nature. This has led to the increase in use of more quantitative measures in STEM education, including mathematics education. Unfortunately, evidence regarding the validity and reliability of mathematics education measures is lacking. Furthermore, the evidence for validity for quantitative tools and measures is not conceptualized or defined consistently by researchers in the field. The purpose of this project is to fully explore the mathematics education literature to synthesize what validity evidence is available for quantitative assessments in mathematics education. Drawing on the results of the synthesis study, the researchers will design, curate, and disseminate a repository of quantitative assessments used in mathematics education teaching and research. The researchers will also create materials and online training for a variety of scholars and practitioners to use the repository. The team will address two main research questions: 1) How might validity evidence related to quantitative assessments used in mathematics education research be categorized and described? and 2) What validity evidence exists for quantitative instruments used in mathematics education scholarship since 2000? Researchers will use a cross-comparative methodology which involves conducting a literature search and then analyzing and categorizing features of instruments. The research team will examine cases (i.e., assessments described in manuscripts) in which quantitative instruments have been used, alongside specific features such as the construct measured, evidence related to sources of validity, and study sample. The team will then design, develop, and deploy a free online digital repository for the categorization of instruments and describe their associated validity evidence.The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.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.

在过去的几十年中，随着教育向数据驱动的政策和研究计划的转变，通常期望与政策相关的方面的数据本质上更具定量性。这导致了包括数学教育在内的STEM教育中更定量措施的使用增加。不幸的是，缺乏有关数学教育措施的有效性和可靠性的证据。此外，该领域的研究人员始终如一地概念化或定义了定量工具和度量的有效性证据。该项目的目的是充分探索数学教育文献，以合成哪些有效性证据可用于数学教育的定量评估。借助合成研究的结果，研究人员将设计，策划和传播数学教育教学和研究中使用的定量评估的存储库。研究人员还将为各种学者和从业人员创建材料和在线培训，以使用存储库。团队将解决两个主要的研究问题：1）如何对与数学教育研究中使用的定量评估有关的有效性证据进行分类和描述？ 2）自2000年以来使用数学教育奖学金中使用的定量工具的有效性证据？研究人员将使用交叉繁殖方法，该方法涉及进行文献搜索，然后分析和分类工具的特征。研究小组将检查案例（即手稿中描述的评估），其中使用定量工具以及特定特征（例如测量的构造，与有效性来源相关的证据）以及研究样本。然后，该团队将设计，开发和部署一个免费的在线数字存储库来分类乐器并描述其相关的有效性证据。发现研究Prek-12计划（DRK-12）试图通过Innovection Coussig of Innovection Coussig for Innovection Coussignove Resource和模型，模型和工具，旨在显着增强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。 DRK-12计划中的项目基于STEM教育和先前的研发工作的基础研究，为拟议项目提供了理论和经验的理由。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优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
