Factors Influencing Arithmetic Performance on the Tennessee State-Mandated Eighth Grade Basic Skills Test.

Hagan, Ronald D.

School Science and Mathematics, v82 n6 p490-505 Oct 1982

The arithmetic portion of the Tennessee Eighth Grade Basic Skills Test is examined. A stratified sample of elementary teachers in Tennessee was used in the investigation. Data available suggest that unsatisfactory scores obtained by some students on the test do not come from teachers' failures to teach the subject. (MP)
