Reports on Education

The National Research Council,
National Academy of Sciences,
and the National Academy of
Engineering have produced dozens
of reports to guide educators
and policymakers in improving
science, technology, mathematics,
and engineering instruction at
all grade levels -- from preschool
through graduate school.

A selection of these reports
follows.

Early Childhood

Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood:
Paths Toward Excellence and Equity

This report urges preschools to
devote more time to mathematics
instruction, and explains
"teaching-learning paths" --
sequences of lessons that build
on one another -- that early
childhood educators and curriculum
developers should use.

Mathematical and Scientific
Development in Early Childhood --
A Workshop Summary

Summarizes a workshop that explored
research on young children's capacity
to learn about math and science,
along with ways to move those
findings into classroom practice.

Grades K-12

Taking Science to School: Learning
and Teaching Science in Grades K-8

Stressing that doing science entails
much more than reciting facts, this
report recommends that the next
generation of science standards and
curricula center on a few core ideas
and expand on them each year over
grades K-8. The report also explains
four principles or "strands" that
should guide science education in
these grades.

Ready, Set, Science! Putting Research
to Work in K-8 Science Classrooms

A guide for teachers and science
specialists that shows how to put
Taking Science to School's findings
into practice.

National Science Education Standards

Describes what it means to be
scientifically literate, and explains
what all students should understand
and be able to do in science.

How People Learn: Brain, Mind,
Experience, and School --
Expanded Edition

Examines research about the mind and
the brain to inform how teachers and
schools can help children learn most
effectively.

America's Lab Report: Investigations
in High School Science

Observing that most lab experiences
for U.S. high schoolers are poor,
this report explains how educators
can improve lab instruction.

Engineering in K-12 Education:
Understanding the Status and
Improving the Prospects

Recommends that engineering education
be incorporated into grades K-12, and
evaluates 15 specific engineering
curricula.

Higher Education

Evaluating and Improving Undergraduate
Teaching in Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics
Explains what good undergraduate
teaching in these fields looks like.
On Being a Scientist: Third Edition

Guides graduate students and early-career
researchers on conducting research
responsibly and avoiding misconduct.
Through case studies and discussion,
the report helps readers consider
questions such as how to allocate credit
for research, how to recognize conflicts
of interest, and what to do if errors are
discovered.

BIO2010: Transforming Undergraduate
Education for Future Research Biologists

Recommends that undergraduate biology
courses be updated to include recent
advances in mathematics, physics,
chemistry, computer science, and
engineering, so that interdisciplinary
thinking becomes second nature for
students.

Transforming Agriculture Education
for a Changing World

Recommends that the U.S. higher education
system reshape agriculture education to
focus on the reality of issues facing the
world's food production and agriculture
systems, such as increasing demands for
both food and biofuels.
