Impact of Educational Innovation on Student Performance: Project Methods and Findings for Three Cohorts. Project LONGSTEP Final Report: Volume I. Appendices.
American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, Palo Alto, CA.
Contained here are the technical appendices to the report on Project LONGSTEP's methodology and findings. The general emphasis of Project LONGSTEP was on the identification of changes in student achievement that occur as a result of intensive educational innovation. Its primary purpose was to analyze overall differences in achievement growth among educational approaches; an educational growth model in which achievement was related to innovative emphasis, number of minutes of instruction per day, pretest, socioeconomic status, and teaching qualifications; a posttest achievement score statistically adjusted for pretest and socioeconomic differences; groups of students with similar educational experiences who, on the average, performed either much better or much worse than was expected from their pretest and socioeconomic status; and students who demonstrated particularly large achievement gains during two consecutive school years. "Data Collection Instruments and Guidelines" developed for Project LONGSTEP referenced in Vol. I, Chapter II, Section C, will be accessioned TM 005 987 in RIEMAY77. (RC)
