-73- Clinical evaluation techniques, in theory, seem to offer great promise for appropriate placement. The analytical assessment of competencies and deficiencies based on direct observation by a competent observer would have advantages that standardized tests could not provide. Specifically, the identification of exact areas of deficiency in math would be possible. Considering the hierarchical nature of mathematics, knowledge of certain deficiencies would be most useful in the placement process.... Unfortunately, such a model for clinical evaluation in mathematics would not be accepted by many practitioners. Specifically, the model developed in this study was not acceptable based on opinions of knowledgeable persons in the field. Various problems were identified in the construction of such a model. Much of the evaluation would greatly depend on the observer, and it would be very difficult to maintain consistency from one observer to another. Problems also were identified with quantification of the results of the observations.
