The University of California, Los Angeles departments of education and psychology established an interdisciplinary predoctoral training program focused on (a) advanced quantitative methodology for improving education practice and (b) mathematics teaching, learning, and assessment. The program aimed to train fellows to be experts in quantitative methodology able to conduct rigorous education research to advance methodological and substantive knowledge, to be well-grounded in research on improving teaching and learning of mathematics in U.S. schools, and to train succeeding generations of methodologists and researchers focusing on education issues. Fellows took a core curriculum, including nine methodological courses, and received in-depth training in causal inference, statistical frameworks for hierarchical linear modeling and structural equation modeling, psychometric approaches of item response theory and generalizability theory, and strategies for measuring classroom practice and program implementation.
