In 1990, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) included a Trial State Assessment (TSA); for the first time in the NAEP's history, voluntary state-by-state assessments (37 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands) were made. The sample was designed to represent the 8th grade public school population in a state…

Blank, Rolf K.; Roeber, Edward – 1992
Since the authorization of the use of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) through the Trial State Assessment to provide state-based data, debate over the proposed expansion of the NAEP has strengthened. To assist states in analyzing and interpreting 1990 data on eighth-grade mathematics and to assist in planning subsequent NAEP…

Budros, Kathleen; Kangas, Jon – 1992
A study was conducted at San Jose City College (SJCC) to determine whether method of instruction in Math 310 (Arithmetic) affected new college students' rates of success, first-semester competency, and persistence. The three instructional approaches used in Math 310 were a traditional three-unit classroom (CL); a structured math lab offering…

Fisher, Mark A. – 1992
A model of graph comprehension is proposed including perceptual and memory processes. Multidimensional scaling (MDS), cluster analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine how college students with different mathematical experience read different types of bar graphs. Data were collected at the University of Oklahoma (Norman)…
