Abstract

Using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U-Test to analyze 128 survey responses from K-12 teachers, this paper considers how value-added measures (VAM) impact educators’ decisions to include Latinx topics in their social studies lessons. The authors found that VAM teachers are more likely to rely on district/state curriculum standards whereas non-VAM teachers rely on curriculum resources to incorporate Latinx topics. When compared to non-VAM teachers, VAM teachers cover less Latinx content when it does not align with the standards, but higher coverage when the topics do align. The findings suggest that VAM can restrict teachers from implementing a diverse curriculum.

VAM的意外后果：排除拉丁裔社会研究主题

本文使用非参数Mann-Whitney U-Test分析了128名K-12教师的调查反馈，研究了增值措施(VAM)如何影响教育工作者在社会研究课程中纳入拉丁主题的决定。作者发现，VAM教师更有可能依赖于地区/州课程标准，而非VAM教师则依赖于课程资源来纳入拉丁语主题。与非VAM教师相比，VAM教师在不符合标准的情况下涵盖的拉丁语内容较少，但在主题符合标准的情况下覆盖的范围较高。研究结果表明，VAM可以限制教师实施多样化的课程。

期刊介绍： Education and Urban Society (EUS) is a multidisciplinary journal that examines the role of education as a social institution in an increasingly urban and multicultural society. To this end, EUS publishes articles exploring the functions of educational institutions, policies, and processes in light of national concerns for improving the environment of urban schools that seek to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. EUS welcomes articles based on practice and research with an explicit urban context or component that examine the role of education from a variety of perspectives including, but not limited to, those based on empirical analyses, action research, and ethnographic perspectives as well as those that view education from philosophical, historical, policy, and/or legal points of view.lyses.
