| Resum: | This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Washington Parish Chapter I First Grade Reading and Mathematics Tutorial Program. More specifically, the study investigated whether first grade students who participated in the tutorial program (experimental group) had mean normal curve equivalent (NCE) scores equal to or above the nontutorial students (control group) as measured by vocabulary, comprehension, total reading, computation, concepts and application, and total mathematics scores on the California Achievement Test (1993). This study also evaluated the perceptions of regular first grade classroom teachers and Chapter I tutors regarding the effectiveness of the Washington Parish First Grade Reading and Mathematics Tutorial Program as measured by the Washington Parish First Grade Tutorial Rating Instrument. Multiple linear regression with two-tailed t-tests was used to test statistical significance in achievement between the experimental and control groups. The significance of perceptions of regular first grade teachers and Chapter I tutors was tested with two-tailed t-tests. Eight alternative hypotheses were formulated for this study. The data indicate that the Washington Parish First Grade Reading and Mathematics Tutorial Program did not significantly improve (p $<$.05) the experimental groups' vocabulary, comprehension, total reading, computation, concepts and application, and total mathematics scores on the California Achievement Test (1993). The data indicate that the perceptions of regular first grade teachers and Chapter I tutors regarding the effectiveness of the Washington Parish First Grade Reading and Mathematics Tutorial Program as measured by the Washington Parish First Grade Tutorial Rating Instrument are in the high range. |
