    1. Identifying and Selecting Curriculum Materials Chapter 9

    2. Types of Curriculum Materials Printed Material teacher manuals student manuals textbooks workbooks modules study guides

    3. Types of Curriculum Materials Audiovisual Materials videotapes transparencies computer software Internet sites posters graphics

    4. Types of Curriculum Materials Manipulative Aids- must be physically handled experiments games models specimens puzzles

    5. Need for Securing Curriculum Materials Wise use of all resources Lack of time to make all materials from scratch Costs- may be cheaper to buy Quality Control- Most curriculum materials have been field tested and revised.

    6. Selecting Curriculum Materials Must be carried out in a planned logical sequence See a sample Materials Assessment Form in Appendix A of the text

    7. Curriculum Materials Assessment Form- Appendix A-p.302 Section I- General Information. This information will be important in filing and referring to the material at a later date for ordering and etc.

    8. Curriculum Materials Assessment Form Section II- Assessment Areas Is the material bias? sex-role stereotyping (Figure 9-1 Sex bias awareness guide p.212.) ethnic, race or age bias job denigration -to belittle or defame

    9. ECO- Sex Bias Pratt (1980) created a procedure called ECO (evaluation coefficient analysis). Identify the subject to be studied List all value terms (positive or negative) about the subject Multiply the number of positive terms by 100 and divide by the combined total number of positive and negative terms

    10. ECO 0.0-50.0 represents material containing unfavorable content 50.0-100 indicates material with favorable content

    11. Curriculum Materials Assessment Form Section II- Assessment Areas Is the material at the correct reading level (readability?)

    12. Readability Procedures to determine readability: Flesch formula Cloze Procedure Forecast formula

    13. Flesch Formula You can go to a web site cut and paste text and it does the work for you Or you can go to Flesch’s website and use his formula for yourself

    14. Sample Flesch Formula Analysis Results Flesch Formula Analysis Text Statistics Number of Sentences: 136 Number of Words: 1678 Number of Syllables: 2443 Analysis Results Flesch Score: 71 Reading Age: 12 years Text Difficulty: Fairly Easy Analysis Successful

    15. Cloze Procedure- requires student testing Select sample paragraphs Retype the first and last sentence as it appears. For the second and succeeding sentences omit every fifth word until there are 50 blanks. Have students read, reread and fill in the blanks. Score their responses- the words they provide must match exactly

    16. Cloze Procedure 23 or more correct responses- independent reading level 19-22 correct responses- instructional level- instructor assistance is needed Fewer than 19 correct responses- students are frustrated, material is too difficult to understand even with instructor assistance

    17. Forecast Formula Select a 150 word passage Count the number of one-syllable words Use the following formula to determine reading grade-level (RGL): 20 - Number of one-syllable words = RGL 10

    18. Curriculum Materials Assessment Form Section II- Assessment Areas Content- accuracy, up to date, appropriate? Presentation- easy to use, appeal?

    19. Curriculum Materials Assessment Form Section II- Assessment Areas Learning Principle of Association- does it build on previous knowledge Principle of Practice- is student asked to apply the content Principle of Effect- are the materials appealing Principle of Readiness- does the material prepare the student for what follows

    20. Curriculum Assessment Section II- Assessment Areas Support- other needed resources? Cost Benefit- is it reasonable?

    21. Curriculum Assessment Section III- Strengths and Limitations Section IV- Assessment Summary

    22. Software Assessment Basic Technical Aspects Continuing Technical Aspects Interface- user friendly Try-Out- efficiency of use

    23. Touchstones for Textbook Selection Inventory p. 217 Warming and Baber (1980)
