CAM in Hawaii (A Japanese-American Experience).
Kagan, Barbara; Yamashita, June
Comprehensive Achievement Monitoring (CAM), developed at Stanford University in 1967, was introduced into a pre-algebra course in Moanalua High School in Hawaii to help teachers by providing information on the progress of individual students and of the total class. The computer package is used to correct each student's answer sheet and to prepare reports for both the student and the teacher. An interesting feature, unique to this application of CAM, is a computer rearrangement of the rank of the students in a class versus the rearrangement of the test problems from easiest to most difficult, determined by the class performance on the test. Finally, it contains an entropy, in the objective and item analysis, which measures the degree of scattering in the responses on each problem. This package will begin to be fully implemented in 1977-1978. (VT)
