Abstract
Over 200 teachers were involved in evaluation of educational microcomputer software in a statewide project involving nine Indiana school corporations from 1983–85. Analysis of the completed evaluation forms through the use of the sign test and the Spearman rank order correlation helped to identify differences and similarities between groups of teachers based on factors of either experience with software prior to the evaluation, or the amount of time invested in the evaluation process. Conclusions indicate that formal evaluation processes in the public schools should include considerations of various factors which may influence the evaluator's final recommendation including prior experience with the instructional format, prior experience with a program similar to the one being evaluated, and allowances for time to fully examine the program being evaluated.
