The Computer Education Program, funded by the Municipal Assistance Corporation/Vocational Improvement Program (MAC/VIP), assists New York City high schools in promoting computer education and integrating the use of computers in subject area instruction. Project goals include providing assistance in the evaluation, purchase, and installation of computer hardware, review and selection of instructional software, development and dissemination of related curriculum materials, and staff development support. This evaluation of the MAC/VIP Program during the 1985-86 school year was based on questionnaire responses from a sample of school administrators, computer coordinators, and teachers using the labs. Findings included the following: (1) most of the computers were installed and in use by October 1985; (2) administrators were generally satisfied with their hardware choices; (3) responsibilities of computer coordinators were wide-ranging and exceeded the officially allocated time; (4) computer labs were used for a majority of class periods during the school year; (5) a majority of teachers reported receiving some in-school assistance; and (6) large proportions of respondents believed in the value of computers in education. A list of recommendations is included. (PS)
