Development of a SWOS Assessment System Concept

Abstract

The UCLA Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (UCLA/CRESST) and CRESST's subcontractor, the University of Southern California Center for Cognitive Technology (USC/CCT), developed and demonstrated a Navy Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS) assessment system concept by (a) defining functions and a concept of operation for the assessment system, and (b) developing an initial prototype of a component of the system to illustrate the concept and its potential. The prototype was based on the air defense planning task of the SWOS Department Head course. Assessments included a simulation that attempted to mimic the actual planning task, background surveys including measures of prior air defense experience, measures of conceptual knowledge including a survey of threat assessment knowledge and a knowledge mapping assessment of threat detection-to-engage process knowledge, and self-ratings of air defense knowledge.
