During the 1975-76 school year the Nystrom Map and Globe Study Skills Program was pilot tested by approximately 1,400 students in three elementary schools in Spokane, Washington. The program is a continuous progress program based upon a series of sequential instructional objectives. Major objectives of the program were to help students develop basic map skills and to learn basic geographic concepts. The evaluation was based on a teacher inventory and testing of primary and intermediate grade students. Teachers identified high levels of student participation and good organization of materials as program strengths. They identified scheduling problems with only one set of materials per building and durability of some of the globes as program weaknesses. On a student posttest, primary students answered correctly over 90% of the items. Fourth graders made the largest gains between pre- and posttesting: their scores improved an average of 45%. Fifth graders' scores improved 33% and sixth graders' scores improved 40%. In general, the test results indicated satisfactory student progress toward attainment of program objectives. (Author/AV)
