Testing On Computers: A Follow-Up Study Comparing Performance On Computer And On Paper, Michael Russell

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Russell and Haney (1997) reported that open-ended test items administered on paper may underestimate the achievement of students accustomed to writing on computers. This study builds on Russell and Haney's work by examining the effect of taking open-ended tests on computers and on paper for students with different levels of computer skill. Using items from the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), this study focuses on language arts, science and math tests administered to eighth grade students. ...

Race And Policy, Ernest R. House Apr 1999

Race And Policy, Ernest R. House

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Beliefs about race have played a central role in American history, literature, and education. Racial beliefs are embedded in the national identity in complex and disguised ways. These beliefs attribute presumed character traits to African Americans and other minorities, who are thought of as different in character and ability, especially the ability to govern themselves. These beliefs lead to education policies which separate, differentiate, and mandate different curricula and treatment for minorities, policies justified as being fair and democratic. These beliefs influence not only curriculum content, but how the schools are organized, financed, and administered at a deeper level than …

Hiring Policy In United States Spanish Departments: Considerations Of Social Class, National Origin, And Ethnicity, Jerry Hoeg, Eric Cohen, Christine Fullen Apr 1999

Hiring Policy In United States Spanish Departments: Considerations Of Social Class, National Origin, And Ethnicity, Jerry Hoeg, Eric Cohen, Christine Fullen

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The present study focuses on two inter-related factors specific to United States college and university Spanish Departments: the unique demographic profile of the entry-level faculty in terms of gender, ethnicity, national origin, and social class; the relation between these factors and hiring practices, especially regarding field of specialization, pay scale, and tenure-track opportunities. We believe these issues are important in that they underscore the value of considering questions of social class as well as ethnicity and gender when analyzing academic job segmentation.

The block scheduling program had been in effect for four years allowing analyses of current middle and high school students who had experienced a minimum of one and one-half years of block scheduling while in middle school. The primary research design was a post-test …
