English 33 Achievement Test. Summary Report.
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton.
The provincial results of the English 33 Achievement Test administered June 8, 1982, as part of the Student Achievement Testing Program of Alberta Education are presented in this report. Following a list of the requirements of Part A (written expression), the first section describes the categories used to assess total expression and the scoring measures employed to evaluate four aspects of writing: thought and detail, organization, matters of choice, and matters of convention (grammar and format). A summary of the distribution for each assessment indicates that most papers were considered "limited" in both total expression and aspect categories. The second section describes the subsections of Part B (reading--multiple choice): (1) meanings; (2) techniques, structures, and forms; and (3) presentation of character. It also includes a sample reading passage and test items. The average scores for each subsection and for the whole of Part B are presented, indicating that students performed an average of 44% overall. A list of distribution sites and an address to which teachers may write for further information and additional copies of the exam are included. (JD)
