| Abstract | The study compared minimum competency test scores of approximately 1,000 learning disabled Florida tenth graders with those of regular class peers and surveyed 200 employers concerning the perceived importance of the competency test skills. Item performance, skill performance, and mastery scores on the State Student Assessment Test-II (SSAT-II) were tabulated. Analysis indicated that learning disabled students demonstrated competence on substantially fewer communication and mathematics skills than their peers. In general, learning disabled students performed better on skills requiring literal use of text and numbers and worse on skills requiring application of basic skill knowledge. Employers' ratings of the extent to which various skills were required in the world of work supported the importance of competency in basic skills but gave more importance to such skills as following directions, obtaining information from graphs or charts, writing accurate messages, and basic whole number computation skills. Learning disabled students did, however, perform better on reading skills (such as use of graphs, pictures, tables), writing skills (use of written forms), and mathematics skills (e.g. time, whole number operations) which were rated by employers as often used in the world of work. Also discussed is the importance of the job interview in obtaining employment. A sample of the Employers Survey of Basic Skills form is appended. (DB) |
