A PLATO-Based Test Item Bank for Army Vehicle Mechanics (MOS63B-Series).

Abstract

The report introduces the overall objectives of Phases 1 and 2, presents a series of Test Domain Specifications for identifying test items from MOS tasks, presents the prototype structures of the Test Item Bank and provides recommendations for further work. Appendices also include PLATO coding sequences for the model Test Item Bank. PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations) is a computer-based education system consisting of a Control Data PLATO terminal (display screen and keyboard) connected to a large central computer system such as the Control Data CYBER 170 or 6000 series computers. The user programs and/or replies to the screen displays by using either the keyboard or the touch panel on the screen. For most purposes, the PLATO computer system interprets only one programming language: the PLATO Author Language (PAL).
