"YOII could have only the pcoplc whoneed or wanl to do it, but not doingmath, more than any O(herarea, nar­rows a student's options. In that senseit is vinuallycompuoory, and it is lakenby very large numbers ofsludenu,"

Wbetherachievementisdeprcssedasa result ofpanicipation increases is aquestion that Dr. Crockcr fccls must beaddressed. Over the past 10 years, theuniversity has secn a larlle increase in itsfirsl-yearcnrolmenl evcn though thc to­tal population pool from which it isdrawina has not changed al all.

Dr, Crocker also is interested inlet­ting a clear picture of what expectationstheunivcrsitymathematicsdepartmenthas of students coming frOm highschools, and whal specific weaknessesthe students may have.

Collecllnc data

The basic numbers on achievement arealready available in the system, but thetask force also wams to build a pictureofthecampleterecordandhabitsofasubstantial sample of students, allowingthe var!om faetors contributing to theachievement level of these students to beidentiftcd and examined.

"Our sample will include perhaps1000Sludents,andwewil1beloin,intolheir backgrounds so that we will havea complete ftleon these students withtheir total experience: from high schooland pcrhapl even before that. We willbe able to have a look at the var!ou!l fac­tors that contribute most to the achleve­mentle-·elsofthcsestudents."

Though the data on achievement asmeasured by maru is relatively easy toobtain, as are the results ofscrceningtestS to laU&e abilities in a particularsubject area, getting good quality dataonothcraspecuofSludentpcrforrnanceis more: difficult. Dr. Crocker points outthat information on thinKS like studyhabits relics on self-reponing, and Ih.atsome aspecuofa student'sbackJl"oundare relatively independent of thc Syslem.

"Maybe the system has some rcspon·sibility for remedying weaknc:sses in thestudent's background &lIllie way upthrough the system. Cenainly we haveto look back beyond the hi&h school,particularly in mathematic$, bcatusethere are enough pcople sayin,that theproblems are with simple, basic materi­al- the kinds of thillJS thai shouldhave betn Ieamed in Grade 7."

The wk fora issecn asa step in theri&ht direction by Dr.Louis P. Visentin,wbether he is looking at it from his po­sition as Memorial's dean of sciern:e orin his role as chair of the Newfoundlandand Lahrador Science and TcchnologyAdvisory Coun<:il. In both capacitiesDr. Visentin is directly ooncerned withthe prohlems the task fora has beendirected to address.

"Clearly then is somethin& wron&,and settinaup thUtask force is one ofthe most useful and important thingsthat could have been done," he said."Myooncern is that whm the report hasbeen completed, there will also be acommitment to implementing whatevermeasures are found to be necessllryloimprove the situation."

The Scieoce and Technoloa;y AdviJo.ryCouncil that is Dr. Visentin's concernwasCmlted by the provincial lovern­ment this year to aet as a resource forboth information and advice to lOVet1l­
