Measures of Educational Equity for Women: A Research Monograph.
Williams, Kathleen L.; And Others
Sixty-one measurement instruments, all of which have at least minimal reliability and validity are described. They were carefully selected and cross-referenced according to their correlation with the most common needs, goals, and content areas of multi-year projects funded in 1976 by the Women's Educational Equity Act Program (WEEAP). These tests include: (1) instruments appropriate for evaluating results of the three major types of projects funded under WEEAP--projects to develop and validate programs, curricula, and materials, to effect institutional change and reform, and to conduct staff development; (2) instruments appropriate for evaluating results in content areas common to projects funded by WEEAP, including career development, occupational/leadership/training, self concept, sex stereotyping behaviors, sex stereotyping awareness, sex stereotyping attitudes, and techniques for coping and combatting sex stereotyping; (3) instruments representative of the following types of measurement: questionnaires and interviews, rating scales, observation, unobstrusive measures, attitude scales, social indicators, and content analysis; and (4) instruments containing appropriate development and/or background information. Guidelines for selecting and using the tests are included. (Author/MV)
