Need for Securing Curriculum Materials
• Wise use of all resources• Lack of time to make all materials from
scratch• Costs- may be cheaper to buy• Quality Control- Most curriculum materials
have been field tested and revised.

Selecting Curriculum Materials
• Must be carried out in a planned logical sequence
• See a sample Materials Assessment Form in Appendix A of the text

ECO- Sex Bias
• Pratt (1980) created a procedure called ECO (evaluation coefficient analysis).
1. Identify the subject to be studied2. List all value terms (positive or negative) about the
subject3. Multiply the number of positive terms by 100 and
divide by the combined total number of positive and negative terms
![Page 10: Identifying and Selecting Curriculum Materials](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050817/5540ee414a7959d4188b4b89/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ECO
• 0.0-50.0 represents material containing unfavorable content
• 50.0-100 indicates material with favorable content

Curriculum Materials Assessment Form
• Section II- Assessment Areas
Is the material at the correct reading level (readability?)
![Page 12: Identifying and Selecting Curriculum Materials](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050817/5540ee414a7959d4188b4b89/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Readability
Procedures to determine readability:
• Flesch formula• Cloze Procedure• Forecast formula
![Page 13: Identifying and Selecting Curriculum Materials](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050817/5540ee414a7959d4188b4b89/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Flesch Formula
• You can go to a web site cut and paste text and it does the work for you
• Or you can go to Flesch’s website and use his formula for yourself

Sample Flesch Formula Analysis Results
• Flesch Formula Analysis
• Text Statistics• Number of Sentences: 136
Number of Words: 1678Number of Syllables: 2443
• Analysis Results• Flesch Score: 71
Reading Age: 12 yearsText Difficulty: Fairly Easy

Cloze Procedure- requires student testing
1. Select sample paragraphs2. Retype the first and last sentence as it appears. For
the second and succeeding sentences omit every fifth word until there are 50 blanks.
3. Have students read, reread and fill in the blanks.4. Score their responses- the words they provide
must match exactly

Cloze Procedure
• 23 or more correct responses- independent reading level
• 19-22 correct responses- instructional level- instructor assistance is needed
• Fewer than 19 correct responses- students are frustrated, material is too difficult to understand even with instructor assistance
![Page 17: Identifying and Selecting Curriculum Materials](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050817/5540ee414a7959d4188b4b89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Forecast Formula
• Select a 150 word passage• Count the number of one-syllable words• Use the following formula to determine reading
grade-level (RGL):20 - Number of one-syllable words = RGL
10
