The Kentucky State plan for the collection of data concerning the cognitive, affective and psychomotor needs of school children is discussed. The plan entailed three phases: (1) the identification of learner needs; (2) translating needs priorities into program goals and field testing the program objectives in a sampling of school districts to provide baseline data for the establishment of district, regional, and State norms; and (3) refining of program objectives and further field testing to validate established norms. This report presents the baseline data generated by Phase II of the Needs Assessment Study. The following aspects are included: subject focus, planning phase, tests selected for the learner needs assessment pilot study, sampling procedures, learner performance objectives, statistical information, and identified needs. Data analyses of Grades 4, 7, and 11 are also included. (CK)
