| - The [Faculty Institutes for Reforming Science Teaching (FIRST)|http://www.first2.org ] project builds upon the results and innovations from FIRST II as one of the components of the NSF Cyclic Model for knowledge production and improvement of practice in undergraduate biology education. To support data-driven instructional decision making, we are building a database for storing, searching and supporting a wide variety of analyses of assessment data from undergraduate science courses. The two major goals of the FIRST III project are 1) developing faculty expertise in assessing student learning and 2) evaluating innovations based on analyses of these data. \\ |

We are constructing a database to support research on undergraduate STEM education. The database will support storing, searching and analyzing assessment data from undergraduate STEM courses. This database will facilitate both data-driven instructional decision making and research in science education.

| - We are using a large variety of assessment data we have been collecting at Michigan State University as part of the design specifications for developing both the Educational Metadata Language to describe the assessment data, and to test and evaluate the database backend and front-end tools we are building. We will incorporate the data from this proposed project, along with our other data sets, into this assessment database. \\ |
