Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reports the Northern Territory Primary Assessment Program (Australia), which monitors student achievement in reading and mathematics in grades 5 and 7 in urban primary schools and grade 5 to post-primary in Aboriginal schools. The aim of the program is to provide teachers with a set of assessment materials and provide information regarding the academic achievement of students at the end of primary schooling. This study focused on the operation of the program in schools and the perceptions of teachers and other personnel involved with the program. Data were collected by a questionnaire-survey of 185 teachers and school visits to 19 urban schools and 10 rural Aboriginal schools. Results of the study indicate the following: (1) many teachers have little understanding or knowledge of the program; (2) some schools have incomplete sets of materials; (3) teachers expressed doubts about the relevance of certain program materials for classroom use; and (4) only about half of all Aboriginal schools participate in the program. In schools where the program has been properly implemented it makes a valuable contribution; therefore, active participation must be ensured for all schools to take advantage of the program's potential. Appendices include procedures for improving test item quality, interview schedules, sample questionnaires for urban and Aboriginal schools, and a sample program evaluation form. (LP)

This book was released on 1989 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report gives the results of the Primary Assessment Program (PAP) in Aboriginal schools (Australia) for the 1987 school year. The purpose of PAP is to provide instructional feedback on student achievement in reading and mathematics and to provide indicators of performance for public reporting. All Aboriginal schools which had students in grade 5 to post-primary were asked to administer five reading tests and eight mathematics tests. Results indicate the following: (1) participation rate was low as less than a quarter of the target population of 2,500 students took the tests during 1987; (2) many schools either excluded all, or a substantial number of their students from testing as The Teachers Federation banned the testing program; (3) performance in practically all areas tested was considered low; and (4) when the test results for 1987 were compared to 1986, there was a significant drop in performance in 6 of 17 objectives tested in mathematics and a significant drop in performance in 6 of 10 reading tests. These results suggest that remedial strategies need to be developed and implemented at both the school and system level. This report also suggests that research into the causes for poor student performance be initiated. This report contains numerous data tables. (LP)

This book was released on 1991 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report gives the 1990 results of the Primary Assessment Program (PAP). The program monitors achievement in reading and mathematics in urban and Aboriginal schools in the Northern Territory (Australia). It provides feedback to schools on the performance of their students in basic skills and provides indicators of performance for public reporting. Since 1986 tests have been administered in reading, writing, and mathematics for urban and Aboriginal schools annually. The target groups were students at grade 5 and 7 in urban schools and grades 5 to post-primary in Aboriginal schools, and students of secondary-aged Community Education Centres. The following results were generated by the study: (1) grade 5 students in urban schools found the mathematics test relatively easy, with 38% of all questions falling in the easy category compared to 25% in the very difficult category; (2) grade 7 students in urban schools found the mathematics test relatively difficult, 17% of all questions were in the easy category compared to 32% in the very difficult category; (3) results of the mathematics questions for students in Aboriginal schools were well distributed in three categories of difficulty; (4) students in grades 5 and 7 in urban schools did not find the reading tests difficult; and (5) Aboriginal students found the reading tests to be moderately difficult. This report provides tables and graphs presenting the percentage of correct answers for each test item, distribution of test scores, and means for subtests. Appendices include sample test items used in PAP. (LP)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the aggregated reading and mathematics performances of students in years 5 and 7 in urban Northern Territory (Australia) schools on the Primary Assessment Program (PAP) tests. The aggregated results are encouraging, with apparent gains in some reading tests over the preceding year, and no evidence of decline in the others. Reading-test results indicate that the majority of students in years 5 and 7 are well able to read and comprehend texts considered suitable to their levels. There is evidence that boys marginally outperformed girls in the measurement strand of mathematics. On all reading tests, girls outperformed boys. Results of the mathematics tests indicate that students find these somewhat more difficult than the reading tests, with the average mark for both years at approximately 55 percent. Test results of urban self-identified Aboriginal students indicate that, on average, their achievement levels are well below those of non-Aboriginal students. Fourteen tables, 11 figures, and 42 graphs illustrate student achievement results. Six appendixes contain information about the test construction and validation process and comparative performances of various groups. A glossary is attached. (SLD)
