- Product: TRAINER
-
- Description:
-
- Purpose: A multiple-choice (not multiple-guess) scoring program
- that rewards building a sound self-judgment and the sense of
- responsibility required to learn at higher levels of thinking.
-
- Features: Students select questions to report what in their own
- judgment they KNOW or can do. They can also take the test in the
- traditional GUESS-test style until they see the advantages of
- using higher levels of thinking when studying and testing.
-
- Existing machine scorable test questions can be used without
- concern for items being too hard or too easy or just bad. A
- functional item analysis can automatically adjust raw scores into
- grades based on the number of questions that performed well on the
- test. The adjustment can be either norm-referenced, criterion-
- referenced, by inspection or any combination. A total of 20 to 50
- tests are needed with 100 most desirable. Nonscored information
- items can be inserted at any point in the test.
-
- Maximum limits are 300 tests and 99 questions. Output includes an
- individual score report, histogram, score graph by quantity and
- quality, raw scores by KNOW and GUESS styles, and ranked grades.
- Instructions and sample test data are built into the program.
- Test data can be examined for card reader errors and cheating.
-
- TRAINER is the result of nine years of empirical research into
- the process of turning passive Pupils into winning Students. The
- combination of scoring by quantity and quality coupled with a
- functional item analysis for automatic conversion of scores to
- grades makes the program unique.
