Art Technical Report: Summary Volume. Selected Results from the First National Assessment of Art.
Education Commission of the States, Denver, CO. National Assessment of Educational Progress.
Summaries of results are presented for student achievement on art exercises from a national art assessment program conducted during 1974-75. Two technical reports document the results of the national assessment. Exercise-by-exercise results are reported in the "Art Technical Report: Exercise Volume" (see TM 006 981). This report, a companion to the Exercise Volume, summarizes results across sets of exercises for various groups of students. The introduction explains how national percentages and differences from the national percentage were derived. Chapter one offers summary statistics on students' achievement on art knowledge exercises. Males' achievement levels were significantly higher than the national average. Blacks performed below the national level, and whites performed slightly above it at all ages. Chapter two reviews affective response summary data. Questions on this part of the assessment dealt with students' attitudes toward art and their open-mindedness toward different styles of art. Whites showed slightly more positive responses than did blacks. In general, degree of participation in art activities influenced degree of positive responses. Chapter three shows a juxtaposition of achievement levels for art knowledge and art affective responses by age groups. For example, it is shown that at age nine, more males than females were positively oriented toward art, but neither males nor females performed significantly differently from the national average on art knowledge.
