Trend Analysis of Assessment Data OSAT Two mathematics education majors took the OSAT during the AY 2008-2009. There were no mathematics education candidates who took the OSAT during the AY 2009-2010. Both candidates exceeded standards in Mathematical Processes and Number Sense. No Trend Analysis can be done at this time. Program Quality Improvement Report 2009-2010
Trend Analysis of Assessment Data Mid-level Assessment Exam During the Fall semesters of 2007-2009, the Mid-level Assessment Exam was administered to five mathematics education candidates. For Standard 2, one candidate did not meet standards while the other candidate exceeded standards in the Fall 2007. The mathematics education candidate taking the exam in the Fall semester of 2008 met only Standard 2. For Standard 2, one mathematics education candidate met standards and one candidate exceeded standards in the Fall 2009. Due to the small number (n = 5) of mathematics education candidates taking the Mid-level Assessment Exam, a definitive conclusion cannot be drawn at this time nor can trend analysis be conducted.

Trend Analysis of Assessment Data Mathematical Proof Portfolio Two mathematics education candidates submitted mathematical proof portfolios for evaluation during the Spring 2009 semester. In the proof by Contradiction and Proof Evaluation categories both candidates exceeded standards. In the Proof by Induction category both candidates met standards In the Direct Proof category one candidate exceeded standards and the other met standards. There were no mathematics education candidates who completed the proof portfolio during the AY 2009-2010. The sample (n=2) is statistically insignificant, and a definite conclusion cannot be drawn nor can a trend analysis be completed. Program Quality Improvement Report 2009-2010
Trend Analysis of Assessment Data Technology Portfolio The technology portfolio replaced the upper-level assessment during AY 2009-2010. No students were enrolled in MATH 4772 (Teaching of Secondary Mathematics) during AY 2009-2010 thus no data was collected. Program Quality Improvement Report 2009-2010
