The Jackson Competency Scales were developed as a component
of a Health And Human Services (Office of Minority Health) Grant
entitled "The African American Male Coalition Enhancement
Project." The grant project was initiated in September, 1991. The
grant goals were three fold: Improvement of academic skills
through computer reinforcement; Improvement of health
education knowledge (dental health and nutrition); and
improvement of competency perception. Participants were
African American males in the age range of 10 to 17. Computer
software was utilized to provide immediate reinforcement for
correct responses. Problem solving assistance was provided for
incorrect responses e.g. possible alternatives to the previously
given answer.
Increases in Mathematics, English and Reading scores were analyzed following the establishment of
baselines in each of these areas. Dental health and nutrition knowledge were measured following the
collection of baseline information. Answers to questions in the respective areas were reinforced
when correct responses were given. The health education program was linked to coalition member
tutorial programs. A report scale and training procedure were established for the competency
perception segment. This component was the model for the development of the competency scales.
Twenty-five tests each for two age-groups are included with these instructions for administering
the tests.
