Records from various statewide testing programs are linked by the use of student name, birthdate, gender and ethnicity to a data set reflecting experiences in a preschool program. The capability to capture these test data will facilitate the evaluation of the preschool program. Trial runs based on the children in the study who entered the first grade during the 1985‐86 school year suggest that the DDCS has very low rates of mismatches and missed matches and that it is cost effective. Furthermore, it possesses other advantages relative to alternative methods of obtaining these data. Implications are drawn for research on child development and the evaluation of preschool intervention programs which are best addressed with longitudinal data bases.","PeriodicalId":382966,"journal":{"name":"Microcomputers in Early Childhood Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126570094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the current information is based on subjective evaluations of personal experiences or on descriptive studies in which specific skills were taught through the use of computers. If significant contributions are to be made by the technology, a concerted effort must be made to objectively analyze the extant information and to focus on future investigations that might indicate those areas of the educational process most likely to benefit from technology. The purpose of this article is to provide an analysis of the current status of this approach in young child education and to present suggestions for future directions in research efforts.","PeriodicalId":382966,"journal":{"name":"Microcomputers in Early Childhood Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125178540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
