Evaluation, Ukrainian-English Bilingual for the Edmonton Catholic School System, 1975-76.
Ewanyshyn, E.
The Ukrainian Bilingual Program, a three-year pilot project coordinated by Alberta Education, was implemented by the Edmonton Catholic School System in the Fall of 1974. The current evaluation is the second phase of a three-year study and concerns the 1975-76 academic year. Forty-eight first graders in the bilingual program were matched with a control group on the variables of grade level, sex, age, PMA scores, and socioeconomic status. Fifty-one second graders were matched with a control group according to the same variables. Achievement instruments to evaluate academic progress in reading, math, and language skills were administered. Parent, teachers, and principal attitudes were sampled. Results show that: (1) students in the bilingual program achieved as well in English language arts and in mathematics as students not in the program at both the grade one and two levels; (2) students were making significant progress in learning the Ukrainian language at both the grade one and two levels; (3) attitudes of the parents, students, teachers and principals were very positive toward the program; (4) according to the perceptions of both parents and teachers, students acquired an appreciation of the Ukrainian culture and an understanding of the Ukrainian Catholic Rite.
