Curriculum  development  manuals  NAVEDTRA  130  and  131,  in  addition  to  NAVEDTRA  135, contain  additional  information  on  tests  and  test-item  analysis. PERFORMANCE   TEST   DEVELOPMENT The  goal  of  many  courses,  as  reflected  in  the  learning  objectives,  is  to  teach  students  to perform   skills   needed   on   their   job.   Therefore,   performance   testing   will   constitute   a   significant portion  of  the  testing  for  many  courses.  Objectives  that  require  the  demonstration  of  observable skills   are   tested   by   performance   tests.   Performance   tests   include   the   following   considerations: n   Performance   tests   are   simulated   work   situations   in   which   students   demonstrate   their ability   to   complete   procedures,   produce   a   product,   or   a   combination   of   both. n   Evaluation   of   performance   usually   involves   the   detailed   observation   and   critique   of   a student’s  performance  by  a  trained  evaluator  or  instructor.  The  evaluation  is  supported by   checklists   or   rating   scales. 9   The   performance   is   observed   and   evaluated   under   the   conditions   and   standards   set   forth in   the   learning   objectives. n  A  final  product  performance  test  involves  comparing  the  student’s  efforts  to  an  acceptable completed  example. n   Skill   objectives   to   be   performance   tested   are   identified   and   rated   as   to   their   relative importance   in   measuring   student   attainment   of   the   related   job   skills. Development  of  performance  tests  can  be  very  involved.  Performance  tests  consist  of  a simulated  work  situation  in  which  the  student  performs  a  task  based  on  a  skill  objective.  Two types  of  performance  tests  are  used  to  measure  skill  achievement:  process  and  product.  The development   steps   are   essentially   the   same   for   both   types   with   the   exception   of   the   final evaluation   device.   Some   performance   tests   require   a   combination   of   both   process   and   product measurement.   NAVEDTRA   130   and   NAVEDTRA   131   provide   detailed   information   about   the development  of  performance  tests  and  their  elements. S U M M A R Y Assessing   a   student’s   mastery   of   objectives   in   a   knowledge   test   or   skill   acquisition   in   a performance  test  is  a  natural  progression  in  the  learning  process.  For  the  assessment  to  be accurate,  test  items  should  be  directly  related  to  the  level  of  learning  you  want  to  measure  and they  should  be  validated  and  analyzed  by  subject  matter  experts.  Instructor  Training  School uses  both  types  of  tests,  and  students  are  able  to  experience  firsthand  the  benefits  and  limitations of  each. 84
