Abstract

This bulletin has been prepared to aid high school teachers in evaluating the status and progress of their pupils in relation to objectives which have been accepted as important. However, the material here is limited to one type of device and to one objective-a paper-and-pencil test designed to determine ability to apply generalizations or principles in situations new to the pupils. The tests included are in the two areas of (1) family and social relations and (2) foods and nutrition. These tests are here used to illustrate an approach to the development of satisfactory instruments of evaluation. The steps, however, can be applied to other areas of home economics as well.
