Description of Research Program
The Institute intends for the research program on Mathematics and Science Education (Math/Science) to fulfill five goals: (1) identifying curriculum and instructional practices that are associated with better mathematics or science outcomes, as well as mediators and moderators of the relations between these practices and student outcomes; (2) developing new curricula and instructional approaches to mathematics and science education that will eventually result in improving mathematics and science achievement; (3) evaluating the efficacy of fully developed curricula and instructional approaches to mathematics and science education with small efficacy or replication trials; (4) evaluating the impact of mathematics and science curricula and instructional approaches that are implemented at scale; and (5) developing and/or validating assessments for diagnosing sources of mathematics difficulties in order to support instruction. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., curricula, programs) that have been demonstrated to be effective for improving mathematics and science learning and achievement.
