The Intermediate Form of the Educational Quality Assessment Inventory (EQUI) for grades 7 and 9 is designed to provide Commonwealth schools with reliable information about student development in each of the 10 education goals. The EQAI measures the students' attitudes, values, beliefs, habits and basic cognitive skills. This manual, organized in four sections, gives insight into the technical properties of the EQAI scales. The first section highlights the procedures and techniques used to construct and field-test the assessment instruments and gives an overview of the total inventory. Section two discusses the 10 quality education goals and the measurement devices associated with each. Included in this section are the goal and measurement rationales, scale and subscale descriptions, scoring procedures, reliability and validity findings for each instrument. Section three offers a series of tables which isolate specific student target groups that might benefit the most from programs designed to facilitate growth in each goal area. Section four discusses additional properties of the battery and summarizes the interrelationship between all scales and subscales. For related articles see TM 003 395 and TM 003 396. (Author/MLP)
