More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The system is a comprehensive set of computer programs and procedures for assisting in the preparation, scoring and analysis of multiple choice test batteries. The system may be used with either standardized or locally developed tests. For the upper grades the system accepts pupil responses on mark-sense answer sheets. For lower grades pupil responses may be keypunched. When mark-sense forms are used, the system can also interrogate the school districts pupil files and preprint answer sheets for the pupils who are to be tested. A number of tests for each pupil may be analyzed at the same time. A score is computed for each test and a pupil’s performance on each test relative to all pupils taking the test in the district is reported. Various types of norms can be used with the system. Mean scores and other summary statistics are reported for groups of pupils. All computer programs are written in American National Standard COBOL to facilitate implementation on most computers.

The entire system is designed and written in a modular fashion to permit modifications to existing reports or additional reports to be added. This design permits the system to be understood by the computer analyst. For related document see TM003447. [This document has been reproduced from the best copy available.] (BB
