This book was released on 1999 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to reform and restructure science and mathematics education should be based on a sound assessment of current conditions, the rate of improvement, and problems in the system. This report focuses on indicators of the condition of science and mathematics education at state and national levels. The 1999 report presents new state indicators from the 1997-98 school year and examines trends, by state, from 1990 to 1998 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Among the student achievement indicators, the study found that proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics had a significant improvement: the percentage of grade 8 students scoring at or above the proficient level was 23% at the national level, and 27% of students were at or above the proficient level in science at grade 8. Among the findings in the area of content and instruction, the study found that seven states had over three-fourths of high school students take three years of high school mathematics in 1998. The number of mathematics and science teachers rose in the 1990s in the area of teacher preparation and supply. In the area of conditions and context for teaching, it was found that in 35% of grade 4 classrooms, one computer is available for mathematics instruction, 29% have two or more computers available, and only 6% have no computers available. Appendices provide more detailed data and information by state. (Contains 72 references.) (ASK)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on science and mathematics indicators is intended to assist state, national, and local policymakers and educators in making informed decisions. This report focuses on science and mathematics indicators at state and national levels. The indicators are intended for use by policymakers and educators to assess progress in improving mathematics and science education in the schools. The 1997 report presents new state indicators from the 1995-96 school year and examines trends by state from 1990 to 1996 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Indicators were selected through consultation with state education leaders, science and mathematics educators, representatives of national professional organizations, and education researchers.

Book excerpt: In cooperation with the state departments of education, federal agencies, and professional organizations, the Council of Chief State Schools Officers (CCSSO) has developed a system of state indicators of the quality of science and mathematics education in public schools. The present report on trends in science and math education as of 2003 is the seventh in a series of biennial reports on state and national indicators. The reports are intended for use by policymakers, educators, and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to reform and restructure science and mathematics education need to be based on a sound assessment of current conditions, the rate of improvement, and problems in the system. This report focuses on indicators of the condition of science and mathematics education at state and national levels. The 1995 report presents new state indicators from the 1993-94 school year and examines trends, by state, from 1990 to 1994 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Four primary sources of data were used: The National Assessment of Educational progress (NAEP), Advanced Placement examinations, The Schools and Staffing Survey, and data from state departments of education. Among the student achieement indicators, the study found that proficiency on the NAEP in mathematics had a significant improvement: the percentage of grade 8 students scoring at or above the proficient level went from 19 percent in 1990 to 25 percent in 1992; between 1982 and 1992 scores of Black and Hispanic students improved more than that of Whites, although the gap is still substantial. Among the findings in the area of content and instruction, the study found that enrollments, especially minority and female students, in science and mathematics have risen dramatically. In the area of teacher preparation and supply, the study found that three-fifths of secondary teachers with a main assignment in mathematics had a college major in math or mathematics education. In the area of conditions and context for teaching, it was found that the average public school spent only $50 on science software and $100 on mathematics software in 1993-94. Appendixes provide detailed data and information by state. (MKR/AA)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides important state-by-state information on the characteristics and performance of schools and students in each state, information that is vital to monitoring the progress and evaluating the success of local, state, and national education reforms. The report disaggregates student achievement data so that attention can be focused not only on the average student, but on students in high poverty schools, migrant students, and students with limited English proficiency. Indicators in each state profile are organized into these categories: (1) school and teacher demographics; (2) student demographics; (3) statewide accountability information; and (4) student achievement. Information is also provided for Title I programs in each state. Statewide totals for numbers of students in public elementary and secondary schools are reported for 2 years, the most recent year for which data are available and the baseline year closest to 1990 for which there are data. Indicators are reported for each state, the District of Columbia, and the entire United States. Appendixes contain state proficiency level definitions, state rankings for various indicators, and information on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. (SLD)
