A volume in Research in Mathematics Education Series Editor Barbara
J. Dougherty, Iowa State University The study reported in this
volume adds to the growing body of evaluation studies that focus on
the use of NSF-funded Standards-based high school mathematics
curricula. Most previous evaluations have studied the impact of
field-test versions of a curriculum. Since these innovative
curricula were so new at the time of many of these studies,
students and teachers were relative novices in their use. These
earlier studies were mainly one year or less in duration. Students
in the comparison groups were typically from schools in which some
classes used a Standards-based curriculum and other classes used a
conventional curriculum, rather than using the Standards-based
curriculum with all students as curriculum developers intended.
This volume reports one of the first studies of the efficacy of
Standards-based mathematics curricula with all of the following
characteristics: - The study focused on fairly stable
implementations of a first-edition Standards-based high school
mathematics curriculum that was used by all students in each of
three schools. - It involved students who experienced up to seven
years of Standards-based mathematics curricula and instruction in
middle school and high school. - It monitored students'
mathematical achievement, beliefs, and attitudes for four years of
high school and one year after graduation. Prior to the study, many
of the teachers had one or more years of experience teaching the
Standards-based curriculum and/or professional development focusing
on how to implement the curriculum well. - In the study, variations
in levels of implementation of the curriculum are described and
related to student outcomes and teacher behavior variables. Item
data and all unpublished testing instruments from this study are
available at www.wmich.edu/ cpmp/evaluation.html for use as a
baseline of instruments and data for future curriculum evaluators
or Core-Plus Mathematics users who may wish to compare results of
new groups of students to those in the present study on common
tests or surveys. Taken together, this volume, the supplement at
the CPMP Web site, and the first edition Core-Plus Mathematics
curriculum materials (samples of which are also available at the
Web site) serve as a fairly complete description of the nature and
impact of an exemplar of first edition NSF-funded Standards-based
high school mathematics curricula as it existed and was implemented
with all students in three schools around the turn of the 21st
century.
