Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Indiana

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Indiana cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Indiana students have made progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough students–least of all minorities–get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Students of color are least likely to be in schools that have the resources they need in math and science, and few eighth graders of any race or ethnicity have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science.

Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Virginia

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Virginia cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Virginia students have already made progress in math over the past decade, yet large racial and ethnic achievement gaps persist. Not enough students in the state get the chance to learn challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Students of color are least likely to have the least access to schools with science facilities or teachers with strong backgrounds in math and science. Link til kilde

Eric.ed.gov – Vital Signs: Washington

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Washington State cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Students in Washington State have made some progress in math over the past decade, yet too many lack opportunities to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. For example, few eighth graders have any teachers with undergraduate majors in math, and an even smaller minority learns much about what engineers do. Link til kilde

Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Vermont students have made progress in math over the past decade, but they have given up some of those gains since 2013. Not enough have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Students also spend too little time on elementary science., and few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in math. Link til kilde

Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. South Carolina students’ performance in K-12 math and science has been basically flat since 2003, and not enough students–least of all minorities–are exposed to challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Most eighth graders don’t have teachers with an undergraduate major in math or science. Link til kilde

Eric.ed.gov – Student Achievement Data and Findings, as Reported in Math and Science Partnerships’ Annual and Evaluation Reports

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: A primary feature of the Math and Science Partnership Program Evaluation (MSP PE) is the examination of K-12 student achievement changes associated with the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Math and Science Partnership (MSP) Program. This article describes one of three complementary assessments of K-12 student achievement being conducted by the MSP-PE, and consists of a synthesis of student achievement findings reported by the MSP projects themselves (the other two assessments also are described in this volume). The assessment described in this article covers 39 of the 48 MSP project awards made by NSF from 2002 to 2004. Data sources included the MSP projects’ annual and evaluation reports submitted to NSF through 2006-07 and research manuscripts developed by the MSPs for presentation at three MSP evaluation conferences.
