Kaufman, R. A. Educational system planning. Englewood Cliffs,
N.J.: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1972.
The systems approach requires members of the instructional design
team to become proficient in the tools of assessment and evaluation.
A systems approach to instructional design is noted for its constant
evaluation and revision until instruction is effective in realizing
its goal of efficiently trained men being successful on the job.
Swezey, R. W., & Pearlstein, R. B. Developing criterion-referenced
tests. Reston, Va.: Applied Science Associates, 1974.
A criterion-referenced test measures an individual's performance
compared to some external criteria or performance standard. As
such, it can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of an instructional
program designed to train students on specific tasks which are
critical to the trainee's success when he enters the field.
Thorndike, E. L. (Ed.). Educational measurement. Washington,
D.C.: American Council on Education, 1971.
Thorndike's collection of articles on measurement offers several
articles on evaluation. One useful article is "Performance and
Product Evaluation" by Robert Fitzpatrick and Edward Morrison.
In performance and product evaluation,some criterion situation
such as vocational (job performance) capabilities are assessed.
A "work sample" test evaluates some component of a trainee's on-the-job
performance after training has been completed.
