The 1993 National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education was designed to provide up-to-date information and to identify trends in the areas of teacher background and
experience, curriculum and instruction, and the availability and use of instructional resources. A total of 6,120 science and mathematics teachers from 1,252 schools across the United States were selected for this survey. Among the questions addressed by the survey:
How well prepared are science and mathematics teachers in terms of both content and pedagogy?
To what extent do teachers support reform notions embodied in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Standards and the National Science Education Standards?
What are teachers trying to accomplish in their science and mathematics instruction, and what activities do they use to meet these objectives?
What are the barriers to effective and equitable science and mathematics education?
