The Appalachia Educational Laboratory (AEL) conducted an assessment of microcomputer-related needs for basic mathematics in the four-state areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia in 1984-85. The primary input came from teachers from each of the states who participated in a needs conference in their home state. When each of the 344 needs statements generated during the conferences was rated on a scale of 0 (low) to 5 (high) by all of the conference participants, it was found that many top-rated concerns were common for the entire region: access to hardware for teachers and students; information about software sources and reviews of software; high quality software; software that addresses topics of concern to teachers; methods of integrating computers into classroom activities; and training in computer operations and instructional uses. In addition to a description of the DAP Process of needs assessment, which was used to conduct the study, and a report of the results, this document contains four papers suggesting strategies for addressing identified needs: "Software Issues and Answers for the '80's" (M. D. Roblyer); "Hardware Issues in Using Microcomputers in Education" (Charles R. Sanders); "Computer Training for Teachers" (John Cook); and "Computer Planning and Integration Issues" (Jose Mestre). Three appendices contain a manual for the needs assessment process; lists of need statements from the state conferences; and descriptions of 10 brochures addressing priority needs of classroom teachers.
