First Year Evaluation of the Mathematics Pilot Programs, Grades K-8, [and] Appendices. Evaluation Department Report No. 381.
Tomblin, Elizabeth A.; And Others
The San Diego Board of Education requested that pilot programs be conducted with commercially developed (Grades K-8) mathematics textbooks and programs in order to determine which of the programs/texts were superior, and whether a district-developed program could successfully compete with commercially produced materials. The pilot program evaluation study was designed to cover the school years 1983-84 and 1984-85. The results of the 1983-84 school year evaluation study are contained in this document. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted in the areas of student achievement, cost effectiveness, staff opinion, program implementation, and weighted results. The appendices include: (1) Composition of Student Sample; (2) Student Achievement Level Performance on Total Math by Publishers; (3) Student Achievement Score Conversions, (4) Computation of Duplicating Costs; (5) Approved List of Pilot Program Materials; (6) Classroom Observation Forms; (7) Staff Survey Instrument; (8) Staff Responses to Inservice and Support Services Questions; and (9) Program Comparisons of All Factors Based on Equal Weightings. It was recommended that the results be used to refine the in progress second year study, and that Board of Education use those results to decide on new program adoptions. (DWH)
