The document presents the executive summary of the final report of Project STEEL (Special Teacher Education and Evaluation Laboratory), a 3-year study at Indiana University. Project STEEL achieved four major goals: (1) development, implementation, and evaluation of a microcomputer-based observation system for codification, storage, and summarization of special education trainees' classroom teaching performances; (2) development, field testing, and evaluation of computer literacy training procedures and materials for preservice and inservice special education teachers; (3) development, implementation, and evaluation of a computer-based testing system for assessing teacher knowledge; and (4) development and preliminary evaluation of a computer-based information management system for storing and retrieving data on special education teachers' performances during their preservice training program. The report concludes that the microcomputer-based observation and feedback system was clearly effective in altering teacher behavior, that the computer literacy training modules developed are an effective instructional package, that the computer-based testing system can help college instructors assess students' acquisition of cognitive objectives, and that the computer-based information management system provides an efficient and secure method for total program evaluation.
