Abstract | Data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are reviewed to outline the achievement levels of students in the United States. This examination of NAEP data showing changes in levels of achievement during the 1970s leads to a number of conclusions. The overall picture for 9-year-olds is promising. The outlook for 13-year-olds, (with the possible exception of mathematics) is less encouraging, and that for 17-year-olds is quite disturbing. Despite these declines, repeated gains have been achieved by student groups that typically fall below the national average. A vexing problem that appears regularly is the uneven achievement in tasks requiring more than recall of information. This paper concludes with proposals for steps to be taken to improve higher-order learning. These steps are to be taken within the classrooms, within the schools, and within the communities. (BW) |
