Scale Analysis of Group Tasks

Abstract

Forty arithmetic tasks were sorted on the dimensions of difficulty and goal path clarity. Results demonstrated the feasibility of using the Thurstone procedure for the analysis of group tasks. Ten a priori task dimensions were identified and described, and a procedure for scaling tasks was worked out in detail. A group of 104 tasks was assembled in a form suitable for analysis. This group of tasks is sorted into 8 categories on each of the 10 a priori dimensions.
