Statistical Methodology
Statistical methodology in relation to evaluation of educational provisions must be studies which are longitudinal in nature and may be qualitative as well as quantitative. Guidelines fall under a Federal Regulation as follows:
S.2969 Title: A bill to provide for improvement of Federal education research, statistics, evaluation, information, and dissemination, and for other purposes.

It is imperative that the support of all involved is possessed by the school in the conduction of an evaluation that will serve to be informative and efficient in its' outcome for furthering technological education in the community college.
