how focusing on the right kinds of macro variablesthat explain larger portions of variation in learning outcomes that have social significance, likelearning to innovate, can move education research forward. Taking cues from other natural andsocial science disciplines, and operationalizing variables that target systems levels of analysisand ties between individuals or groups of individuals, can improve our ability to make smarter,more effective decisions in the post-secondary STEM classroom.

. This diversity results in a datasetthat currently comprises twenty-five years of data that includes 1,014,887 unique undergraduate,degree-seeking students. Of those students 210,725 were ever enrolled in engineering. While theoriginal database contains only eleven institutions, the plan for MIDFIELD has always been toexpand the database to include all public institutions in the United States that offer undergraduateprograms in engineering. An award by the National Science Foundation (#1545667,$4,010,978.00, 03/01/16 to 02/28/2021) will support increasing the number of partnerinstitutions to 103.

As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning.
