The development and use of tests to diagnose need for remedial mathematics instruction by the Havering Mathematics Teachers Association is described. (SD)

This is the preliminary report of a new memory scoring method. Using the Wechsler Memory Scale as its base, it scores lateralized verbal and figural memory and long- and short-term memory. Six independent memory scales were developed. Studies of 105 subjects demonstrate that these scales are reliable and valid. (Author)

Two hundred students in an undergraduate physical geography course were assigned to a group which received either factually oriented quizzes or quizzes which stressed higher level behaviors such as application and analysis. Evaluation of the results indicated that the variation in testing procedures had no discernable effect on student scores in…

Explores the relationship between student teacher attitudinal similarity and cognitive retention in a relatively natural setting and within a respondent conditioning paradigm. (Author/DEP)

Reports on five tests designed to determine if science curricula instills certain attitudes in science students that non-science students do not attain.

Describes a study of the validity of a multiple-choice test intended to pinpoint the manner in which a concept is misunderstood. (BR)

Provides some examples of science quizzes designed to stimulate student interest in outdoor education, animal lore, critical thinking, and an interdisciplinary approach to science. (PEB)

Presents rationale to support the contention that IQ tests are inadequate for Spanish-surnamed children because they do not use appropriate cultural and linguistic life experiences. (DW)

Some basic statistical concepts relevant to the teacher--mean scores, standard deviation, normal and skewed distributions, z scores, item analysis, standard error of measurement, reliability--and their use by the teacher are explained. (RM)

The overall objectives of six NSF-sponsored workshops for mathematics teachers in Illinois two-year colleges are defined. The first conference on articulation and related problems, and the second on testing are described. (SD)

This study was designed to determine if non-science majors who have a 1-hour teacher-structured review before each major test score higher than students who review by self-preparation. Four laboratory science classes in a junior college in Mississippi were randomly selected, with two classes assigned as the control group and two classes as the…
