... For example, what students learn is clearly related to what they are taught; which in turn depends on the intended curriculum; how teachers elect to use that curriculum; the kinds of resources teachers have for their instructional work; what the community values regarding student learning; and how local, state, and national assessments influence instructional practice. Standards created at the national level began working their way into this complex education system starting in the late 1980s (McLeod, Stake, Schappelle, Melissinos, and Gierl, 1996~.

... The charge to the Committee that produced this document was to "develop a framework that can be used to understand the influence of science, mathematics, and technology education standards on programs, policies, and practices." The Committee acknowledged early in its work that a body of research related to education standards is emerging work that addresses questions of Nationally Developed Standards FIGURE 1-1 The Black Box Student Learning 12

... It neither advocates nor criticizes the standards, and does not attempt to synthesize or interpret existing research concerning influences of standards. Rather, this Framework offers guidance and perspective both to the research community and to those who use the results of such research policy makers, educators, administrators, scholars, and members of the public.

... Technological literacy, as defined by the technology standards, is a relatively recent addition to the K-12 curriculum. Many educators seek clarity about the structure and form in which students should gain knowledge and skills associated with technology.

... Finally, Chapter 8 suggests how the Framework might be used to situate existing studies within the educational terrain that is relevant to the standards, to critically examine claims and inferences advanced by these studies, and to generate hypotheses to be explored through future investigations.
