Perspectives in Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER): Collected Papers.
Abstract
The Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) program was begun at NBDL in 1977. This report includes four papers which were written between 1977 and 1980 describing progress and developments in this program. 'An Engineering Approach to the Standardization of Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER)' delineates the structure of the PETER paradigm, describes representative results and discusses implications of the results to previous and future research. 'Assessing Productivity and Well-Being in Navy Workplaces' explains how Jones' rate-terminal performance and theory of skill acquisition has been applied to the study of complex human performance and abilities. Examples from two tests administered under a fifteen day repeated measures paradigm are presented to illustrate the methodological approach employed in the PETER program. Application of these methods to selection and training research is suggested. 'Progress in the Analysis of a Performance Evaluation Test for Environmental Research (PETER)' describes the preliminary results of ten tests which had been completed by October 1978. 'The development of a Navy Performance Evaluation Test for Environmental Research (PETER)' describes the earliest plan for developing PETER as it was formulated in 1977. It describes the philosophy and principles upon which the PETER program was based. (Author)
