ABSTRACTThe North Carolina State Board of Education, as part of the

Quality Assurance Program, initially established a computer proficiencyrequirement for diplomas issued to the Class of 2000. In October 1995, theBoard made the requirement effective beginning with the graduating class of2001. Students who were in grade eight for the 1996-97 school year and beyondare required to satisfy the computer proficiency requirement in order toreceive a high school diploma. The requirement is based on the kindergartenthrough grade 8 competencies of the K-12 computer skills curriculum approvedin July 1992 by the State Board of Education. These competencies are definedin the North Carolina "Standard Course of Study" (SCS). The goals of therequirement are to ensure that most students enter high school withsufficient computer skills and no student exits North Carolina high schoolswithout sufficient computer skills. The multiple choice and performance testassesses: word processing; keyboarding; database use; spreadsheet use;telecomputing skills; societal issues; ethics; terms, operation, and care ofcomputers; and use of computers in various curricular areas. The performancetest consists of four parts: keyboarding techniques; word processing/editing;database use; and spreadsheet use. This document reports the performance ofstudents in the class of 2001 as tenth graders, the class of 2002 as ninthgraders, and the class of 2003 as eighth graders on the computer skills test.For the 1998-99 school year, 74.9% of students who took the tests met therequirement at the end of eighth grade. There were disparities in performanceamong subgroups. Hispanic (49.7%), Black (58.5%), and American Indian (60.1%)subgroups had lower percentages passing the proficiency requirement thanAsian (72.8%), Multi-Racial (73.2%), and White (84%) subgroups. For the sameschool year, 76.6% of students who took the tests met the requirement by theend of ninth grade. Hispanic (50.7%), American Indian (62.1%), and Black(62.8%) subgroups had lower percentages passing the proficiency requirementthan the Asian (70.1%), Multi-Racial (74.2%), and White (84.7%) subgroups.Findings for tenth grade revealed 80.8% of students taking the tests had metthe requirements by the end of tenth grade.

Introduction

The State Board of Education, as part of the Quality Assurance Program, initially establisheda computer proficiency requirement for diplomas issued to the Class of 2000. In October of1995, the Board modified the requirement by making it effective beginning with thegraduating class of 2001. Students who were in grade eight for the 1996-97 school year andbeyond are required to satisfy the computer proficiency requirement in order to receive aNorth Carolina high school diploma. The requirement is based on the kindergarten throughgrade 8 competencies of the K-12 computer skills curriculum approved in July 1992 by theState Board of Education. These competencies are defined in the North Carolina StandardCourse of Study (SCS). The goals of the requirement are to ensure that: (1) most studentsenter high school with sufficient computer skills, and (2) no student exits North Carolina highschools without sufficient computer skills.

The North Carolina Tests of Computer Skills (multiple-choice and performance) must beadministered by the end of grade eight with subsequent opportunities during high school, asneeded, to allow students to satisfy the requirement before completing their senior year inhigh school. The multiple-choice test assesses (1) word processing; (2) keyboarding; (3)database use; (4) spreadsheet use; (5) telecomputing skills; (6) societal issues; (7) ethics; (8)terms, operations, and care of computers; and (9) the use of computers in various curricularareas. The performance test consists of four parts: keyboarding techniques, wordprocessing/editing, database use, and spreadsheet use.

Computers have become an integral part of today's world, both in the home and in themarketplace; therefore, computer proficiency is necessary for graduates of North Carolina'shigh schools.

Initially, in order to meet the requirement, students were required to achieve a scale score onthe performance part of the test equal to or greater than 49 and a combined scale score equalto or greater than 46. Under the old standard when the pass/fail status was assigned, it wasassigned for student performance for both parts of the test. The multiple-choice andperformance parts of the test were not separate but considered together in determining astudent's pass/fail status.

At the recommendation of the Computer Skills Advisory Committee, after input fromeducators and others, the State Board of Education modified the standard for passing thecomputer skills requirement effective July 1, 1997. The modified standard requires that thetest be separated into two tests: a multiple-choice test and a performance test. Either test maybe passed independently of the other. To pass under the new standard, a student must achievea performance test scale score of 49 or above and a multiple-choice test scale score of 47 orabove.

When documented through the Individualized Education Program (IEP), some students withdisabilities may fulfill the computer skills proficiency requirement through the use of portfolioassessment accommodation.

The purpose of this document is to report the performance of students in the class of 2001 astenth graders, the class of 2002 as ninth graders, and the class of 2003 as eighth graders on thecomputer skills tests. Sample questions have been included in the report to provide examplesof items on the tests.

Definitions


BackgroundThe first opportunity to meet the computer skills proficiencyrequirement is during the eighth grade. Passing the computer skillsstandard is defined as passing both the multiple-choice andperformance tests.

The Class of 2001 completed the eighth grade at the end of the 1996-97 school year. The Class of 2002 completed the eighth grade at theend of the 1997-98 school year. The Class of 2003 completed theeighth grade at the end of the 1998-99 school year.

The Standard Beginning with the fall of 1997 testing; a student must have a scalescore of at least 47 on the multiple-choice test and a scale score of atleast 49 on the performance test to meet the computer skillsproficiency requirement.

Students are retested only on the test that they have not passed.

Computer Skills Beginning with students in the eighth grade during the 1996-97 schoolRequirement year, in order to receive a North Carolina high school diploma,Guidelines students must demonstrate computer skills proficiency.

Beginning with the eighth grade, a student must be provided focusedinstructional remedial when the student has not passed the multiple-choice or performance tests until the proficiency requirement has beenmet.

Each senior must have at one additional opportunity during the lastmonth of school prior to graduation to demonstrate computer skillsproficiency.

Testing Accommodations are available for students with disabilities, studentsAccommodations identified under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and

students who are limited English proficient.

Accommodations must be developed in accordance with TestingModifications and Accommodations for Students Disabilities andGuidelines for Testing Students with Limited English Proficiency.

The need for accommodations must be documented (for example, inthe student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) or WrittenAccommodation Plan). Accommodations used are to be consistentwith routine instructional use and must not violate the intent of thetest.

The Computer The expectation is that all students will take the test during the eighthSkills Portfolio grade. The portfolio assessment is available for those students with

disabilities (only) who cannot take the test under standardadministration conditions or with the accommodations provided forthe tests. Portfolio use must be documented on the IndividualizedEducation Program (IEP).

The ComputerSkills Portfolio

(Continued)

ScoringPortfolios


The purpose of portfolio assessment is not to provide an easieralternative to demonstrating competency, but to provide an appropriatealternative that meets the same high standards as the tests.

There is no time limit for completion of the portfolio except thatsuccessful completion is required prior to graduation.

The expectation is that work to be included in the portfolio will becompleted within the school setting over a period of time. Thestudent's teacher and principal must verify the authenticity of thestudent's portfolio work.

The LEA is responsible for scoring all portfolios for that system.

The LEA test coordinator, the exceptional children's administrator,and the computer coordinator provide direction for the scoring andapproval process for completed portfolios. The LEA may involveother personnel as deemed appropriate.

Exemptions from Exemption from testing does not exempt students from the graduationTesting requirement. Exemption from the computer proficiency requirement

denies the opportunity for the student to meet one of the requirementsfor a North Carolina high school diploma.

When a student is exempted, the parent and student are advised of thelong-term consequences of exemption. LEAs are to reference themost recent publications of Testing Modifications andAccommodations for Students with Disabilities and Guidelines forTesting Students with Limited English Proficiency for properprocedures to follow for exemptions.

Resources Lesson plans and staff development activities have been provided byProvided by the NCDPI since the computer skills curriculum was revised in 1992.NCDPI Some of the lesson plans are available on the ,DPI InfoWeb

(www.NCPublicSchools.org) and through the NCDPI Office ofPublications.

A released form of the computer skills test was provided to all LEAs.Copies have been provided at conferences and workshoppresentations. In addition, a copy is available on the DPI InfoWeb.

The NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Testing Sectionprovides all school systems and charter schools with ample copies ofthe North Carolina Tests of Computer Skills Student Handbook to bedistributed to the appropriate students. The handbook includesinformation about the proficiency requirement and computer skillstests taking strategies, and sample questions.


Data Verification For the 1998-99 school year, the North Carolina Test of ComputerSkills multiple-choice was scored and aggregated locally. SchoolSystems reported summary data only to NCDPI. The performancetests were scored by a contractor who provided the score reports to theLEAs and subsequently the NCDPI.

Differences in The data collected for the Computer Skills test in 1997 and 1998 usedData Analysis: the same denominator, which included the number of pupils tested in

1996-97, 1997-98, both performance and multiple choice. In 1999, the denominator1998-99 included the number of pupils on the NCDPI masterbuild file,

including exempted and absent pupils.

In 1997, Fall and Spring data were merged centrally and LEAs had theopportunity to correct the final file of pupils. In 1998, all testadministrations from Fall 1997 to Spring 1998 were merged centrally,accounting for the .NC State Board of Education's change in thestandard. Most school systems edited the merged file locally andreturned a file of pupil data that had a pass/fail flag for performance anda pass/fail flag for multiple choice. In 1999, a blank form was sent toLEAs to collect summary data (not pupil data), with a column for thenumber of pupils on the masterbuild (including absent and exemptpupils) and a column for the number passing both performance andmultiple choice.
