Juniors in eight area high schools soon may have the chance to determine the probability of their success in college through a KU math testing program.
Jack Porter, professor of mathematics, said high schools in Lawrence, Blue Valley, Tonganoxie, Horton, Turner and Spring Hill, and two schools in Atchinson, had been invited to test their students with an early placement test provided by KU.
By Anita Meyer
Kansan staff writer
Porter said that the high schools had not had time to respond but that he was certain most of them would.
"They had all expressed interest," he said. "Some of the teachers had even done extra work to make sure they received information."
Because math is required for graduation from KU, the subject might alter the success of a student, said
The University of Kansas recently approved financing that would provide the tests.
Students list their choice of colleges as well as their top two choices of majors on the test.
"We hope to be able to tell a student how likely he is to do what he wants, where he wants," he said.
Porter said beginning in a remedial math course would have different effects on different majors.
"If you're a business student and you get a low score on the placement test, you might have to enter at 002," he said. "Then you'd have to take Math 101, then 150, then 160, then Business 368. You're going to have to take five semesters of math. That's quite a message to high school students that you need to take math your senior year."
KU math test offered to high schools
Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the department of mathematics.
KU students enrolled in the Math 101 and 002 Self-Instructed Mastery Plan (SIMLP) will provide guidelines. Porter said.
Porter said a standardized test given by Ohio State University led to KU's testing. KU is using Ohio State's test.
"Ohio State has had quite a bit of success with the testing," he said. "We'd like to see that kind of success at KU."
Porter said that within a few years of testing high school students, the number of Ohio State freshmen taking remedial math classes decreased from 42 percent to 20 percent.
Now, he said, 80 percent of Ohio State freshmen are starting math in calculus.
However, Montgomery said, that progress will not be evident during the first year.
Phil Montgomery, associate professor of mathematics, said the effects of the testing on high school students could affect the enrollment of SIMPJ.
"If things are successful, there will be no SIMPL," he said. "We hope we can cut back on the number of students in remedial math."
"This is only a pilot program right now," he said. "It doesn't even have funding from the Regents yet. This first year will have only a minimal effect on us."
