Presentation Transcript

  1. IERI at NSF An emphasis on mathematics and science

  2. What is IERI? • PCAST report • Innovations about technological innovations • Innovations about curricula: math, science, reading and reading in support of math and science (learning) • Innovations about implementing curricula • Innovations about the science of conducting educational research • All of the above?

  3. Innovations about the science of educational research Education borrows (i.e., no primitives of its own) from: • Psychology • Sociology • Rich content areas • Statistics and statistical modeling • Technology • Public Policy • Economics

  4. Combining and going beyond • An example: What is the relationship between SES and Math Achievement? • Psychologist • Sociologist • Educational researcher • Policy implications • Choice of covariates may have non traditional policy implications

  5. The future of IERI • Beyond internal validity • The need for cross level theory development (and testing) with rich interventions of high quality content • Building and testing models of scaling • Looking at sustainability

  6. Models and love • A noted physics educator from the north east once said: “Don’t fall in love with your own model.” • George Box is noted for saying that all models are wrong but some are useful • My response these dignitaries, …
