Report 2/1992. INSTITUTION Northern Territory Dept. of Education, Darwin (Australia). REPORT NO ISBN-0-7245-2606-4 PUB DATE 92 NOTE 90p.

DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Achievement Gains; Achievement Tests; Comparative Testing; Educational Assessment; *Elementary School Students; English; Foreign Countries; Grade 5; Grade 7; Intermediate Grades; Junior High Schools; Junior High School Students; Mathematics Achievement; Rural Schools; Scores; Suburban Schools; *Testing Programs; Test Items; *Test Results; *Urban Schools IDENTIFIERS *Australia (Northern Territory); *Primary Assessment Program (Australia) ABSTRACT This report contains details of the results of the Primary Assessment Program conducted in 1991 in urban and non-urban schools in the Northern Territory of Australia. The assessment program, conducted annually at years 5 and 7 in urban schools and at ages 10 years and above in non-urban schools, monitors achievement in English and mathematics. In 1991, nearly 4,000 urban students and 1,700 non-urban students participated in the testing program. Findings reveal a significant improvement in the achievement of urban students in years 5 and 7 in mathematics in 1991 compared with 1990. Fundamental changes in the reading test mate it impossible to compare the two years. However, evidence suggests that urban school functional literacy and reading comprehension was good, but was not as good in the non-urban schools, where many students appeared unable to perform satisfactorily in tasks required for Stages 4 and 5 of reading and Stage 4 of mathematics.
