Canadore Comprehensive Achievement Monitoring (CAM) Mathematics: An Introduction & Overview.
Canadore Coll., North Bay (Ontario).
Three tests were developed in the Canadore Comprehensive Achievement Monitoring (CAM) project in the area of mathematics. The Canadore CAM Monitoring Tests were used to obtain an estimate of knowledge of objectives on a preinstruction, postinstruction and retention basis. The Math Survey Tests were used to place a student at the appropriate point within the math curriculum. The Math Block Mastery Tests were developed to allow for a pretest, posttest and interim test within each study block. In order to construct these tests, content topics were identified, then further defined by curriculum level. Since in an individualized program, it is necessary for some sort of objectives to be written so that students can ascertain the immediate goal of their study, Generic Objectives were developed for each content topic at each curriculum level. Each Generic Objective indicates the stimulus, how the information is received by the student, the general operation and the component operated on, and the output expected from the student. Five test items were written for each of the Generic Objectives. For each kind of test, items were randomly selected to cover the appropriate Generic Objectives. (BW)
