Bilingualism in the Computer Age, 1989-90. Final Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn, NY. Office of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment.
Bilingualism in the Computer Age, a project of the New York City (New York) Board of Education, completed its fourth year (the 1989-90 school year) and was evaluated. The project offered 241 limited-English-proficient Spanish-speaking students the opportunity to study career and vocational subjects while improving their English and native language skills at Morris High School in the Bronx. The results of the evaluation indicate that the program was fully implemented and that students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), content area subjects, computer skills, career education, and health awareness. The project also offered staff development and parental involvement activities. The project met its ESL, attendance, and dropout prevention objectives. It partially met its content area subjects and computer training objectives, but did not meet its NLA objectives. Findings also show that due to lack of statistical data, career awareness, cultural heritage, and staff development objectives could not be assessed. Consequently, it is recommended that statistical data needed to measure all the objectives should be provided, and that the computer training objectives should be modified in order to become more realistic.
