Suggestions From Conference Participants for Other Instruments to Measure Student Outcomes including attitudes and aspirations

Student Attitudes

  1. Students’ perception of Constructionist Classrooms (grades 3 and 6)

    2. Subscales (alpha = 0.75 - 0.86)
    1. awareness of the nature of science
    2. attitudes
    3. use of children’s ideas
    4. roles and values of text
    5. parent, family and community development
  2. 6th grade Scholar CUP competition
  3. 7th-8th Math Counts competition
  4. NY State Attitude Survey (ca 1989)
  5. Attitude inventory of released NAEP items — constructed/validated at U. of IA
  6. Modified Fennema-Sherman attitude scales
  7. Pete Kloosterman’s scales on student beliefs, attitudes and values (IN University)

Other Outcomes

  1. Students passing State Algebra exam
  2. Course-taking sequence
  3. Classroom behavior
  4. Test of Basic Process Skills (BAPS)
  5. Test of Integrated Process Skills (TIPS)
  6. Quarterly reports (failure notices)
  7. Summer school mathematics enrollment
  8. Teacher beliefs (survey/instrument)
  9. Levels of engagement of children’s mathematical thinking, adapted from CGI
  10. Vocational Interest Assessment
  11. Participation in math courses
    • percent of students at grade level
    • student attitudes towards math
