EDDIE WEST Recently you have probably either read about or heard on the news, information related to results from a statewide testing or assessment program last spring. Due to the number of inquiries received from various citizens regarding this effort, this column will be devoted to answering those questions most frequently asked. Q. How did the state wide assessment program come about? A. Thirty-six states have assessment programs-16 of these were required by legislative acts. In North Carolina the State Superintendent of Public Instruction initiated the statewide education assessment so that North Carolina can find out where it really is and can establish priorities. Q. When was it done? A. Planning began in 1970, with student testing conducted during April, 1972. Q. What was measured? A. The areas measured were reading. mathematics, language arts, career awareness, ability to work with abstract ideas, and student attitudes toward school and peers. The tests were the lowa Test of Basic Skills, the Student Attitude Questionnaire, the Lorge Thorndike Intelligence Test and the Cognitive FOR SOIL SAMPLES and BULK SPREADER SERVICE Lime - Lime and Potash Mixed - Fertilizer We Con Supply You With Your TOBACCO BED NEEDS SEE OR CALL Home Feed & Fertilizer Co.

The results of the assessment do not tell us whether we have improved, maintained a status quo, or fallen behind because we have nothing to compare them to. The results can be used in future comparisions. In addition, follow-up of those sixth grade students tested last spring can be undertaken. Q. Who was included in the statewide testing effort? A. 11,283 students were randomly selected from 101,549 sixth graders. The Research Triangle Institute developed the sampling procedure. There were 448 schools from 130 of the (Antiques Sc JHpt]olsteriug QUALITY WORKMANSHIP COME IN AND BROWSE . . .

What does the assessment tell us about where we need more work? A. Some things are apparent from the findings at this point. Since per capita income, educational attainment of parents, per cent nonwhite population, per pupil expenditure, academic ability, and per cent of rural students do relate to success and failure in the skills measured by the assessment, it is fair to conclude that North Carolina is “disadvantaged’’ compared to the nation with regard to these variables.
