Abstract | Several studies were conducted in 1987 by the Multilevel Evaluation Systems Project, which focuses on developing a model for a multi-purpose, multi-user evaluation system to facilitate educational decision making and evaluation. The project model emphasizes on-going integrated assessment of individuals, classes, and programs using a variety of indicators of educational quality and student outcomes. A prototype has been developed and refined through action research in collaboration with teachers, principals, and district decision makers in five school districts. In the process of developing a prototype microcomputer-based information system, the project studied issues related to the optimal content of information systems, the composition of quality indicators, useful reporting strategies for various levels, and the socio-organizational factors influencing the system's utility. During the first year of the project, through development and testing of the model, experience was gained in technical issues of implementation, including development of prototype computer software using the d-Base III-Plus package. Extensive documentation of prototype computer software for implementing the system is provided, and 11 figures are appended. (TJH) |
