In recent years, funding agencies like the Institute of Educational
Sciences and the National Science Foundation have increasingly
emphasized large-scale studies with experimental and
quasi-experimental designs looking for 'objective truths'.
Educational researchers have recently begun to use large-scale
studies to understand what really works, from developing
interventions, to validation studies of the intervention, and then
to efficacy studies and the final "scale-up" for large
implementation of an intervention. Moreover, modeling student
learning developmentally, taking into account cohort factors,
issues of socioeconomics, local political context and the presence
or absence of interventions requires the use of large data sets,
wherein these variables can be sampled adequately and inferences
made. Inroads in quantitative methods have been made in the
psychometric and sociometric literatures, but these methods are not
yet common knowledge in the mathematics education community. In
fact, currently there is no volume devoted to discussion of issues
related to large-scale studies and to report findings from them.
This volume is unique as it directly discusses methodological issue
in large-scale studies and reports empirical data from large-scale
studies.
