Abstract
This study examined the use of various objective test data, including IGAP Science test scores, by school personnel in the process of local science program evaluation. Three hundred and twenty-four public Illinois High Schools, all Illinois high schools with enrollments of 500 or less, were surveyed. Principals were asked to identify objective test score data used in local science program evaluation, to characterize the nature of the local evaluation process, and to identify local personnel involved in the evaluation process. All respondents identified sources of objective test score data used in local science program evaluation. The IGAP Science test score data was reported to be used more often than any other single source of data. Building principals and teachers were most often identified as the personnel involved in the program evaluation process. The nature of the evaluation process varied greatly from school to school, but was most often characterized as an informal process.
