Literacy and Numeracy of Grade 9 Students, Alberta

Description

This Statistic describes the proportion of Grade 9 students in Alberta who achieved the acceptable standards in language arts and mathematics. Grade 9 Provincial Achievement Tests (PAT) in language arts and mathematics are used as proxy measures of literacy and numeracy because adult literacy assessments are undertaken infrequently.

Usage Considerations

The Literacy measure is a weighted average of the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 English Language Arts, the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 English Language Arts (Knowledge and Employability), the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 French Language Arts and the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 Français. Knowledge and Employability courses are designed for students who meet enrolment criteria and learn best through experiences that integrate essential and employability skills in occupational contexts.

The Numeracy measure is a weighted average of the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 Mathematics and the number of students receiving the acceptable standard in Grade 9 Mathematics (Knowledge & Employability). Students normally take the Grade 9 Provincial Achievement Tests at age 14 to 15. The results are based on the total enrolment of Grade 9 students.

Provincial Achievement Tests are based on the curriculum and are developed with extensive involvement from classroom teachers, and input from other educators, business and community groups, to ensure that the standards reflect public expectations. The standards are set for each test by a committee of teachers and assessment specialists, and are then held constant by statistical methods in subsequent years. Note that Mathematics results reported for 2010 2011 to 2016-2017 are based on the test that reflects the 2007 Program of Studies. Results reported for 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 are based on the test that reflects the 1996 Program of Studies. Therefore, discretion must be used when comparing results over time. Mathematics results for 2009 2010 are excluded as the new test was in the process of being implemented during that year.
