Guidelines for the Developers of Videotape Simulation Performance Tests

Abstract

This handbook is designed to be used by Army test developers who are considering audio-visual alternatives to the hands-on, written, and performance certification components of the Skill Qualification Test (SQT). The handbook is organized to show how to use the audio-visual medium for simulated performance tests; it covers videotapes, slide/sound combinations, and written tests with accompanying audio recordings. The handbook provides guidelines for the test developer to (1) rank order critical tasks proposed for the SQT, (2) allocate the tasks to the most appropriate test medium, (3) formulate the test items to take maximum advantage of the medium selected, and (4) objectively evaluate the test. A companion volume, ARI Technical Report TR-78-A13, details the development and evaluation of a prototype videotape simulated performance test.
