註釋This report describes and interprets findings from the 1981-82 national mathematics assessment, the third such assessment conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The results show a leveling off of the performance of American 17-year-olds, who had shown a decline between 1978 and 1982; 9-year-olds' performance has changed little from assessment to assessment. These findings are described and interpreted by a panel of mathematics educators. Besides discussing the overall results, the authors examine findings in the following categories: knowledge, skills and concepts; problem solving, applications and attitudes toward mathematics; computers and technology; minorities and mathematics; and sex differences in achievement. Findings are presented for different kinds of test items--those assessing knowledge, skills, understanding, and application--and for different subpopulations: Blacks; Hispanics; students in heavily minority schools, students in different achievement categories, males, females and students in advantaged-urban, disadvantaged-urban and rural schools. The report contains an executive summary and, in the appendixes, some discussion of other test results and other information about mathematics education, mathematics course taking, and steps being taken across the country to improve science and mathematics education.
