  • The Status of Microcomputers in Oregon Public Schools. a Statewide Survey
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 287 466 IR 012 862 AUTHOR Lamon, William E. TITLE The Status of Microcomputers in Oregon Public Schools. A Statewide Survey. INSTITUTION Oregon Univ., Eugene. Coll. of Education. SPONS AGENCY Oregon State Dept. of Education, Salem. PUB DATE 86 NOTE 74p. PUB TYPE Statistical Data (110) -- Reports - Resiarch/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Computer Assisted Instruction; *Computer Literacy; Computer Managed Instruction; Educational Facilities; Elementary Secondary Education; Library Administration; Longitudinal Studies; *Microcomputers; Public Schools; School Surveys; State Surveys; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS Career Information Systems; *Oregon ABSTRACT This statewide survey (parelleling a 1983 study) was conducted by the Oregon Department of Education in 1935 to assess the status of microcomputer usage and instructional microcomputing in the public schools of the state. A total of 1,181 principals responded to the mailed questionnaire for a response rate of 96% as opposed to 90% in 1983. The information sought was similar to the 1983 survey in requesting data on: the number and types of computers used for instruction; how the microcomputers were being used for each of the most prevailing instructional functions; the number of computer literate teachers; and whether the individual school districts had computer literacy goals. Additional questions addressed: the location of computers in the schools; whether the school had designated a computer coordinator; the types of students receiving instruction in computer literacy; and the percentage of teachers using computers for instruction. Comparisons of the results of the two surveys show: (1) an increase of 132% in the number of computers used for instruction; (2) a significant increase in the number of computers per school; and (3) a shift in the provision of computer literacy instruction from all students in 1983 to, in 1985, those students in grades 7-12 who were taking mathematics or science courses.

  • A Study of the Mathematical Competence Requirements for Graduation Among Oregon's A-Aa-Aaa Senior High Schools
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WILLIAM HENRY MAC FARLANE for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION inEDUCATION presented on NOVEMBER 20, 1981 Title: A STUDY OF THE MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AMONG OREGON'S A-AA-AAA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS for AbstractapproveRedacted privacyedactedffi for privacy Dr. Sylvia Tucker /r. Michael Colbert Competency-based education was introduced to the state of Oregon in the early 1970's, mandating that the graduating classes of 1978 would meet these competency requirements for graduation. The Oregon Department of Education allowed each school district to compile its own lists of competencies in each of the mandated areas. There were no state recommended guidelines in these areas; consequently, competencies were varied inrequire- ments and numbers. This research was designed to establish minimal mathematics competencies for Oregon's four-year public senior high schools; they would also be applicable to all other high schools in the state. The use of mean scores and the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the .05 level of significance was applied to determine if there were any significant dif- ferences between and among responses. There were significant differences in 15 of the 71 items. The LSD test was then applied to determine where the differences lay. A significant difference was revealed between AAA and AA in 15 items. AAA and A schools differed signifi- cantly on only 2 items. From this study it can be concluded that schools classified as A and AAA are more closely aligned in their interpretation of mathematical competencies at all levels. A and AAA accepted the competency list with fewer exceptions as being necessary for mathematical instruc- tion.

STEP volunteer efforts are valued at $1,320,000. Due to COVID-19, this is nearly half of the normal involvement. The types of projects conducted through STEP reflect the diverse ways that volunteers can assist with fish and habitat management needs throughout Oregon. The issues and priorities within individual watersheds are often unique to those areas and the focus of STEP efforts can vary across the state. Generally, activities can be grouped into four main categories. EDUCATION AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT INVENTORY AND MONITORING 29,000 people Nearly 310 volunteers participated in STEP contributed to fish monitoring educational activities and inventory efforts These include trainings, classes, tours, presentations, Participants logged 4,000 hours in 157 projects statewide, assessing workshops, and public events.
