"Developing and Evaluating an Indicator System to Monitor                       Mathematics and Science Education"                                                                                                                              This project, conducted by the RAND Corporation, involves the                   collection and integration of large national data bases to design               and develop indicators of the status and condition of precollege                science and mathematics education.  Four areas of science and                   mathematics education will be included in the indicator system:                 teachers and teaching quality; curriculum and instruction;                      participation (especially, that of women and minorities); and,                  achievement and outcomes.  The methods to be used to develop the                indicator system will be to: 1) synthesize data from an array of                national data bases to obtain additional information on the                     condition of science and mathematics education; 2) evaluate the                 results to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the existing               data and the indicators that can be built from them; and, 3) use                a wider variety of data--including data that are not nationally                 representative--to explore the potential of components of                       measures that might be useful for future data collection efforts.                                                                                               Because this is an exploratory project (over a proposed two-year                period) a review will be conducted of it near the end of the                    first year's effort to decide whether to continue funding for the               full duration.
