Abstract

Performance of candidates on Mathematics - Part 1 of the Final Year Mathematics Examination (1971) held in teachers' colleges in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent, is presented and statistically analysed. Detailed analyses of performance on each item of the test showing the number of candidates (male and female) in each college who got the item correct or wrong, or who omitted it, are also presented. Some uses for the taxonomy of mathematical objectives and item analysis are suggested
