Computer-Managed Instruction in the Navy. III. Automated Performance Testing in the Radioman 'A' School.

Abstract

Automated performance testing (APT) procedures were compared with manual testing procedures during computer-managed instruction (CMI) at the Radioman A school to determine if APT shortened teletyping training time. The effects of computer-generated Error Distribution Reports (EDRs) on performance progress were also studied. Results showed that APT speeded testing and scoring and shortened training time. Daily receipt of EDRs shortened the typing portion of the course by 3 days. (Author)
