Evaluating Maintenance Performance: The Development and Tryout of Criterion Referenced Job Task Performance Tests for Electronic Maintenance.

Abstract

The previous volume recommended the development of criterion referenced Job Task Performance Tests (JTPT) for typical electronic maintenance activities. This volume reports the development of a battery of such tests together with an appropriate scoring scheme for reporting the results of administering them. The development of a Test Administrators Handbook also is described. This battery is considered to be a model for future criterion JTPT development and is intended for both formal training and field use. The battery includes separate tests for the following classes of job activities: (1) equipment checkout, (2) alignment/calibration, (3) removal/replacement, (4) soldering, (5) use of general and special test equipment, and (6) troubleshooting. The Doppler Radar, the AN/APN-147 and its computer the AN/ASN-35 were selected as a typical electronic system. This system was used as the test bed for this model battery. The soldering and general test equipment JTPT are applicable to all electronic technicians. The other tests of the battery apply to technicians concerned with this specific doppler radar system.
