The goals of this evaluative research project are: 1) to review how partnership performance is evaluated in the STEM educational community and also in a variety of other settings drawn from other policy contexts, industry, and not-for-profit; and 2) to develop and test a model exploring how degrees of embeddness among partners influence the process by which STEM educational outcomes are pursued and achieved. A panel of STEM evaluation and education experts will participate in an online Delphi panel whose goal is to develop an evaluative model for linking embedded partnership relations to educational outcomes. This model will be tested with up to four systemic initiatives for retrospective insights into partnership activities and with at least two ongoing Math and Science Partnership projects.
The Principal Investigator of Alternative Approaches to Evaluating STEM Education Partnerships is Gordon Kingsley.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Evaluating STEM Partnerships
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Alternative Approaches to Evaluating STEM Education Partnerships project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
