The Social Studies Assessment Program was a province-wide assessment of Social Studies concepts, skills, and attitudes in grades 3, 6, 9, and 12 in Manitoba (Canada) carried out during April, 1984. Designed to provide a profile of student performance on program objectives, the test was administered to a representative sample of students at each grade level. Teachers were given the option of testing additional students to compare their results to those of the provincial sample for each objective skill area. This document contains the test, test manual and scoring key for the grade 6 assessment. The 182-question, multiple choice test covers the four Social Studies program objectives: (1) knowledge, (2) values and attitudes, (3) thinking and research skills, and (4) social participation. The manual contains an overview of the assessment program, general test information, and specific directions for administering the test and returning test materials. While the answer key is provided, it is recommended that student answers be transcribed on provided answer sheets for machine scoring by Management Information Services, Manitoba Department of Education.
