The Implementation, organization, and evaluation of the prep sessions for the mathematics section of the graduate record examination at California State University at Northridge
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (pages 42-44)This project is designed to provide a source of material for use in a 4 to 5 week program to prepare students for the Graduate Record Examination Mathematics Section. It is also intended to offer an evaluation of the effectiveness of this program at California State University at Northridge, and a model for similar evaluations of effectiveness elsewhere.\ud
This evaluation was done with two test groups in two major sections: academic preparation and test anxiety. Evaluation of the academic and test-taking skills was accomplished by the use of pre- and posttests with questions similar to those on the Graduate Record Examination Mathematics Section. Attitudinal evaluation was done through pre- and postattitudinal survey questionnaires rating positive and negative feelings about the examination.\ud
This paper has been divided into seven sections: Chapter I - The Origin of the GRE Prep Sessions; Chapter II - The Participants; Chapter III - The Actual Sessions; Chapter IV ??? Program Evaluation by Participants; Chapter V - Attitudinal Evaluation of Participants; Chapter VI - Evaluation and Analysis of Academic Preparation; and Chapter VII - Summary. All materials used in the sessions are included and explained.\ud
The conclusions reached by the use of statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in the academic and test-taking skills as well as a noted relief in the test anxiety of the participants. The program would have to be termed extremely successful in meeting accepted standards of evaluation
