FOREWORD

The Automated Instructional management System (APIS) has beendesigned to monitor, score, and evaluate individual students,grcups of students, and curricular content in a course envir-onment designed for educational management. Design philosophyincludes providing course administrators with a meaningfulanalysis, and constructive assessment of student or group per-formance, within the environment of a course created Forcomputer management. Since the system requires a minimum oF"installation tailoring", AImS is capable of servicing mostuser requirements once adapted to the course environment.Through its modular construction, it is possible to incorporateother student input techniques for time-shared and teleprocessedimplementation.

AIMS Version III was generated to be as versatile as possible,without prohibitive INPUT/OUTPUT requirements. To insure ver-satility and compatibility, it was designed around IBM System/360, and was generated with the model 30/Release 20 IBI DiskOperating System (DOS).

The overall design concepts governing the development of AImSconstitutes:

Machine independence to the maximum possibleextent-can be adapted to a wide variety ofmachine configurations

Creating, maintaining and accessing a largedata-base, relevant to student curricular,pedagogical, and administrative aspects ofa given scholastic environment

Creating, maintaining, and accessing sub-files containing meta-data

Providing printed analyses of past, current,and future student progress throughout thescholastic environment

Generating an adaptive feedback loop throughwhich the system can modify its multiple-model simulator to reflect current conditionswithin its sub-files


The system, through the media of feedback and analysis,incorporates the necessary procedures for updating and op-timizing the general level of instruction and testing

Extending into the Behavioral Psychology environmentenables AIMS to produce a matrix showing the relationshipbetween Terminal Objectives and Enabling Objectives Learn-ing or Sklil category, media type, and each individualquestion The inclusion of a validation capability hasmade Al`iS the ideal vehicle for experimental curriculumanalysis

The ultimate aspiration in the development of the APISSystem, is toward the achievement of a Generalized Educa-tional \lanagement System (GPI), designed to encompass thetotality of the educational environment in which it operates.GEM is based on an advanced data file access/retrieval sys-tem, with innate adaptive feedback characteristics. TheSequential Access Pile Entry System (SATES) provides a data-base capable of supporting the operation of virtually anykind of process model. A generalized simulator, which ef-fectively becomes a unique computer language, could be usedto develop models of a wide range of educational environments,emulating discrete aspects of the education sphere.

The basic structure of a Generalized Educational DecisionStructure .jEDS) is created, and specified, as educationalprocess information is fed into the system Upon specifi-cation, tree simuiator reduces to a model of an asnect of theeducational environment. Four such modeis, which can begenerated by the simulator, are:

Community Subsystem...providing output ofEarning Potential, Job Opportunities, Occu-pational Acceptance Levels and AttitudeValues.

Instructional Process Subsystem. resultingin Change in Attrition, Change in the Numberof graduates, and Change in Achievementoutput information.

Cost Subsystem. - .giving Total Program Effec-tiveness, Improved Resources, and a ComputedCost Listing as end products.

Instructional Process Input System.. -for thepupil population in the program, outputschange in Achievement, Change in Attitude(index of learning difficulty) to School andCost Effective submodels.

ADVANCED SYSTEIS LABORATORY A360-670-1AIMS III SYSTE9 MANUAL

1. ATMS III OVERVIEW

The Automated Instructional Management System, VersionIII is a model computer-based system For the managementof the educational process. The system, as designed,applies to several areas of traditional academic coursesof instruction. Its performance demonstrates the capa-bility to individualize the specific instruction pre-sented to each student, and to optimize the extractionof that information inherent in every interaction be-tween the student and the educational process. Thisinformation pertains to the student and his capabilities,the process characteristics, and the teaching efficiencyof their mutual interaction.

AIMS III has been structured to store and analyze theresults of every test or assignment, participated in bythe student, and to transform this data into a quanti-tive assessment of:

Individual Student Performanceand Capability

Validity of a Given Assignmentor Test

Group Performance

Based on these assessment results, AIMS provides prescrip-tive recommendations to assist students in low achievementareas.

System input creates a versatile data base, operatingwithin an efficient file handling environment. The ne-cessity of handling large data blocks, associated withsystem operations, results in a flexible, modular designcapable of accepting, a. wide range of input formats andsources, and generating multi-purpose output reports.

The actual running operation of AIMS III is intended tominimize the handling of large amounts of data, and tomaximize report utility.

At the start of a semester, students involved in thecourse are registered, and a course outline is enteredwhich initializes the system.


A360-670-2

ADVANCED SYSTEMS LABORATORYAIMS III SYSTEM MANUAL

As a course progresses, student response data is enteredand, unless requested, maintained in a response file.

Subject to demand the system can be requested to scoreand analyze selected lesson segments, with report output.This demand request processing, permits the retaining ofoutput reports, without the backing-up of input data; andalso allows for consideration of separate groups of assign-ments at any time. Reports contain scoring of lessons andtests, remedial instructions to a student, validation in-formation on group and individual performance.

V. AIMS III SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The design criteria of AIMS III characterized by thefollowing operational phases, is illustrated in Chart1. Each phase is run independently for snecific pur-poses, but all are required to completely process acourse The system structure is illustrated in Chart2

SYSTEM INPUT PHASE...is associated with theinitialization of the system, and involvesinformation which is entered only once atthe beginning of the course. This informa-tion consists of: Student Background andEnrollment, Question and Answer Matrices,andCourse Structure.

OPERATIONAL INPUT PHASE...involves that datawhich is entered and accumulated as the courseprogresses. It consists primarily of studentresponses to course work such as pre-test,post-test, study guides and homework assign-ments,

REPORT GENERATION PHASE...in this phase,student responses are correlated with coursedescription and background data, to produceevaluative functions. Analytical results arecomputed; and reports on individual, group,or course performance are generated. Modularconstruction permits facile styling of reportformats to meet user needs.

A. SYSTEM INPUT PHASE: There are certain internalDirect Access AIMS Files which must be created,maintained, and updated for each course. Thesefiles which are created during the System InputPhase, and which are related to the systems ini-tialization, are divided into three majorcategories:

Student Background and Enrollment DataHeader Information (question and answermatrices)Question (MBO) Descriptor Information


A360-670-4

ADVANCED SYSTEMS LABORATORYAIMS III SYSTEm MANUAL

1. STUDENT BACKGROUND AND ENROLPIENT is concernedwith the identitication of those students whoseperformance is to be monitored by AIMS, and theentering of data pertinent to their academic back-ground. This data includes:

High School AverageRank in ClassI.Q.

Grades in Pertinent High School CoursesReadingSAT MathSAT VerbalElementary AlgebraGeometryTrigonometryIntermediate AlgebraCalculusPhysicsMath Achievement

Included in this section is the calculation ofa Student Capability Index, based on studentbackground data supplied to the system. Thecapability index is comprised of an average ofthe background categories, after some normali-zation has taken place. It is essentially aweighted average of student background data,where the statistical weights are determined bycorrelations of background data with eventualperformance. This is a predictive index, con-tinually undergoing evaluation, which willultimately be a guide in considering studentsuitability for a given course. This index isstill experimental, and is course specific.

2, HEADER INFORMATION - consists of a series ofanswer matrices containing the correct answerfor each question on each test. Answer matricesmay be multiple choice, four or five possibleresponses per question; or they may be fortest types requiring other than the major fouror five possible response.

3. QUESTION (MBO) DESCRIPTOR in order to bestutilize the instructional management and pre-scriptive tutorial capabilities of AIMS, thesystem must be used in conjunction with acourse properly structured in a multilevel for-mat with milestone definition of course objec-tives. This course structure, illustrated inChart 3 contains:

I

I

I


ADVANCED SYSTEMS LABORATORY A360-670-5AIMS III SYSTEM MANUAL

A Descriptor (key word) for each'question' resent in the Lourse,known as an enabling objective (EO)

A Descriptor for each logical groupof questions, as well as a definitionof that group, known as a terminalobjective (TO)

A befinition of those question groupswhich comprise a course unit (lesson).

By relating each question or group of questionsin the course to particular course objectives,definitive conclusions based on student respon-ses can be reached regarding:

Overall Performance in a subject areaor skill, within the course

go Question Validity relative to desiredobjectives.

B. OPERATIONAL INPUT PHASE: The operational, input phaseof AIMS is concerned with the assimilation of thatdata which is accumulated as the course progresses;namely, student responses to assignments and tests.To facilitate data handling, these responses are cur-rently read from Port-a-Punch cards, or OpScan forms(pre-processed through an OpScan Reader), Theseresponse forms are completed by the students, andmerely require a visual check by the instructor priorto submission.

This phase is divided into three levels:

The Lowest Level...reads response data,and converts it to a standard AIMSResponse Record format.

The Second Level...validates the responsedata with respect to legality of studentnumber, lesson number, question number, etc.

e The Third Level...validates the data withrespect to order and sequence of responses,and location in course structure. This levelstructure permits maximum flexibility ininput requirements. It is only the lowestlevel which is specific to the input mode; thusallowing a simple modular change for a dif-ferent input source such as Mark Sense Cards.


A360-670-6


C. REPORT GENERATION PHASE: is designed for flexibilityand selectivity. This phase of the system createsand maintains detailed records on student performance,course elements, and group performance. It also makesvarious report modules available by accessing thefiles created by previously run AIMS processes.

1. Student Performance - can be evaluated withinthe course from a statistical view, and peda-gogical assumptions on the part of the designercan be validated.

2. The Scoring Segment of this phase has accessto the student response information as well asthe course description data. By cross-referencing these files, each course unit isscored, and tallies are maintained for eachpossible answer in the unit. Once scored,statistical analyses are performed to deter-mine mean scores, maximum and minimum ofscores, standard deviations, etc. In additionto these functions, the sys.m tallies foreach question the number of students in eachperformance quartile who made an error on thatquestion. It is the analysiL of this data whichaids in question validation. A question'svalidity might merit closer scrutiny if it isfound that more students in the lower quartileresponded correctly than in the upper quartile.

3. Output Reports are each programmed as aseparate module, and the number of modules isvariable. Required tapes and disk files areaccessed and processed by built-in file handlingroutines. The user may select desired reportsby supplying a request control card which identi-fies the specific reports requested.

A determination should be made as to which reportsare necessary for efficient course management.Reports can be produced which are directed towardthree levels of interest. They are:

D. PROCESSING: All processing functions in the APISIII System take place during each sten of the threesystem phases. This includes error checking orcard formats apt, keypunching. Checking is alsoperformed to determine user violation oF certainsystem and disk allocation limits. The specificprocessing functions are:

1. System Input Processing This phase createsthe data base from which a student may beprocessed through a course. Certain stepsare required, and processing takes placewith each step, as set forth below:

a. Header Function (correct answer matrix)...is the first step in the loading ofcourse data on to the AIMS III files.This function actually describes thecourse structure to the APIS III System,and must be successfully executed beforeany other system input functions can beperformed.

b. Question (MBO) Punction...loads additionaldata into the course structure. A cross-reference check with header input is madeto determine unintentional user violationsof course structure. This function is notrequired on the lowest level of studentgrading.

c. Student Input Punction...registers a studentin a course, and is independent of coursestructure. Course Student Numbers (CSC) areassigned to each student, consecutively,starting with number one, in the order ofinput to the system. Along with card formatand keypunching error checking, the AImS IIICapability index calculations are also per-formed.

Capsulization of Student WorkStatistical Presentation

Students work is basically reorganized andprocessed into a more comprehensible andreadable form, for both student and instructor.

VI. AIMS III PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Before student or course information can be stored, certainDirect Access files must be created in order to successfullyrun a course under the AIMS III System. All files are notrequired for each type of operation but all are included ineach deck to simplify procedures and prevent omissions. Theyare as follows:

Lesson Scratch FileStudent Background FileHeader FileStudent Score FileDirectory FileText FileQuestion PileSystem File


ADVANCED SYSTEmS LABORATORY A360-670-9AIMS III SYSTEm 1ANDAL

A unique control (JCS) deck is required for each courserun, as the file names cannot be identical. The controldecks presently being used are listed in Appendix B.

Previous sections have described the functional aspectsof the AI1S III System. The section is concerned withthe program structure which accomplishes these tasks.In the following sections each program, its inputs, outputsand file structure will be covered (Chart 4) Prom theprogramming aspect, AIMS is divided into two major programs:

AIMSMAIN, the first program, is associated withtwo gySteb phases

Phase I System InputPhase II Operational Input

REPORT GENERATOR, the second program, is SystemPhase III.

A. AI1SMAIN: The core of AImS is AImSmAIN, which isconcerned with all operational aspects of AImS, andencompasses System Input and Operational Input. Theoutput of AImSmAIN is a file containing all relevantscoring and evaluative information.

1. Phase I - System Input involves student enrol-lment and background data, question and answermatrices, and a description of the particularcourse to be managed as illustrated in Chart S.If more than one group of student is being pro-cessed through an identical course, some of thedisk files may be shared. Each course requiresunique Student Background and System files, withunique file names. These inputs initialize theAIMS operation.

a. Student Background and Enrollment Data.,.(Chart 6) must be input on cards for everystudent taking the course. The maximumnumber of students allowed in any singlecourse is one-hundred and eighty five. The inputof student background information is multi-purpose it accomplished the following:

e Assigns Course Student NumberCreates Student RosterComputes Capability IndexStores Background Data


A360-670-10


The student background input card, whichprovides the pertinent student data isstructured in Card Layout 1_ Table 1 con-tains the structure of the Student Back-ground and Enrollment file which has beenstructured with a growth provision pointedtowards future program capability.

At the time of registration, the programsequentially assigns a registration numberto each student according to the order ofenrollment, in addition to e.ny schoolidentification number, This number' cannotbe pre-assigned other than by ordering thesequence of input cards. The course studentnumber (CSN) is the primary means ofidentifying a student within the system.All reports refer to this number for refer-encing and grading.

Students dropped from the AIMS BackgroundRoster are flagged, but not actually removedfrom the file, and the course student numbercannot be reassigned. Once a student isdropped, all future AIMS processing willignore the student's record.

Background data is stored on a tape, and acapability index is calculated (a weightedaverage of pertinent, scaled background).Future incorporation of adaptive feedbacktechniques will permit a dynamically modi-fied weighted index.

The AIMS capability index calculations arebased on the student background data suppliedto the system. It is assumed that if any ofthe background data is equal to zero, it wasnot submitted, and that particular item is nottaken into consideration. The capability indexis comprised of an average of the backgroundcategories, after some normalization has takenplace. Calculations are made when the data isinput to the file, and the index is stored alongwith the remaining background information. Thedifferent categories and the normalizing func-tions, if applicable are:

The output of the Student Background rile consistsof a report containing all of the relevant studentinformation for use by the program. There is oneline of information printed for each student. Atthe end of the report, a message is printed in-forming the user as to the number of studentscontained on the file, and how many are remainingin the course. The date each student is input isassigned to the student's record, and printed witheach report.

The above are averaged together to produce thecapability index.

b. Course Description Information...(Chart 7) is inputby two logical groups:

1. Header Cards which are Port-a-Punch cards,read by a binary card routine, and consist oflesson identification data, and a correctanswer matrix for each question, on each test.The Header Card structure is outlined in CardLayout 2.

Header card information is stored in the Headerfile (Table 2), and is used to allocate storagespace in the Question (MBO) File (Table 3), thuspermitting dynamic storage allocation in Fortran.The Header File must be prepared before anyfurther functions can be performed (Chart 8).

FILMED FROM BEST A'."ILABLE CO

A360-670-12


A temporary tape, which is prepared prior tostoring, is created using a Header-Checkroutine to determine if:

The lesson number of the firsttemporary file is greater thanthe last number in the permanentfile; and that it;

Ascends sequentially by one,through the last lesson numberof the temporary file, whichshould be less than forty.

There are ten or less headersper lesson

4) Each Header is unique accordingto lesson number, segment number,and type

The Header-Check routine will cause the systemto list the permanent headers consisting ofall previous updates.

If the file is in order, the temporary filecan then be stored on the permanent file byusing the Header-Store routine, which instructsthe system to take the temporary file, and addto, or replace data in the permanent file.

This must be done for the Headers in a parti-cular lesson before any further functions areperformed. All the Headers for a course maybe stored at one time, or, they may be donefor sections at a time.

The only change allowed in an existing HeaderRecord in a permanent file is one that involvesanswer matrices. (refer to Chart 9 PileMaintenance and Updating).

A Header File Listing, of both permanent andtemporary Header Files is the output of thissegment.

2. Question (MBO) Descriptor Cards (Layout 3)may be read once Student Background and Headerinformation has been entered into the system.These cards identify a question position withina course. They also contain the correct answer,


ADVANCED SYSTEMS LABORATORY A360- 610 -13AIMS III SYSTEM MANUAL

with key words describing the question, as wellas a prescriptive recommendation in the eventthe question is incorrectly answered. There canbe only one Question File Record (Chart 12) Foreach question in the Header File

The basic terms which define the required coursestructure are:

Volume (lesson,week,period,etc.)TypeSegmentCourse Student Number (CSN)Measurable Behavioral Objective (`!BO)Terminal Objective (TO)Enabling Objective (EO)

The first four terms refer to the structure oftests, study guides, homework, or assignments.The last three refer to learning objectivesattached to questions in a course.

A volume is the basic subdivision of work withina course structure. The term "Type" is used toidentify tests within a volume as follows:

Type Number Test

1 Pre-Test2 Post-Test3 Homework4 Study Guide5 Assignment

A total of five types is permitted. In order tofacilitate there being more than one of the sametype within a volume, the term segment is used.

Learning objective terms are used to identifyobjectives contained on the question descriptorcards. A Measurable Behavioral Objective is madeup of the Terminal Objective, and the EnablingObjective. This information is used to provideremedial assignments, and to schedule group re-medial sessions.

Terminal Objective (TO) information from thesecards is stored in the Directory File (Table IV)with a chain pointer to the first question in agiven TO group. This permits the indexing ofquestion groups by TO.


A360-670-14


Questions in any test can be related, notonly to the test itself, but also to t' tportion of the curriculum which they 1,/,

designed to evaluate. Question informationis then stored in the Question Pile, andpointers are placed in the Header Pile topermit accessing questions by deck.

The only information that may be replacedin a Question Record includes the MBOdescription, correct answer, and prescrip-tion.

The available outputs include a Question(T "IBO) File listing and a Directory Filelisting.

2. PHASE II OPEPATIONAL INPUT is the inputportion of AIMSMAIN that maintains and pro-cesses the input to AIMS which occurs in theprocess of course management. This input isscreened for:

Validity the work must be withinthe course structure

Omissions all data required toidentify work within the coursestructure must be present andaccurate.

Student Usage of Input mediaPort-a-Punch cards cannot bemulti-punched in certain fields;a CSN has to be present on allstudent work input.

The greater portion of, this material isStudent Response data.

a. Student Response Data...input utilizes bothPort-a-Punch cards and OpScan forms, whichare prepared as the student engages in courseunits. (Layouts 4 and 5).

Port-a-Punch cards are read to tape in abinary card routine, and the program validatesit as to order, student number, course, lessonand segment number.



The AIMS System allows a maximum of forty-eight questions per test. There are twenty-four questions per card Therefore, therecan be a maximum of two cards per test,. Theresponse information (Table 4) is put out ona student response tape (Chart 10) for thatcourse unit, and sorted into a master ResponseFile (Chart 11) containing all previous re-sponse data. The Master Response Pilestructure is outlined in Table 5. The CTIOprogram, developed for the reading and refor-matting of binary cards, is used both in this

. phase and the Header Card routine

OpScan Response forms are processed byOperations through a pre-processor and thecomputer interface programs. There are twotypes of OpScan forms presently in use; onefor Pre-Tests and Post-Tests, the other forStudy Guides. The final output tape containscomplete Student Response records, sorted inproper order for Master Response Pile pro-cessing. Procedures for the use of OpScanforms require that the tape from the OpticalScanner be translated into the record format,identical to that produced by the CTIO routine.A series of unscramble and sort programs areused to produce the final result.

B. REPORT GENERATOR: This phase of the system, (thesecond major program), is a collection of reportmodules, and file handling routines. The program isdivided into six phases. Most of the individualroutines are written in FORTRAN, with three routineswritten in Assembler Language. Should re-phasing berequired, refer to the AIMS III Program Logic ManualA370-670, Report Generator Phase Structure TheAIMS III Report Generator is concerned with keepingthe most comprehensive records possible on all aspectsof the course interaction with the students, from astudent, course, and instructor viewpoint. Basically,it processes and re-organizes student responses intoa more comprehensible and readable form for both stu-dent and instructor. It computes analytical results,as well as generates reports on individual, group, orcourse performance. The AIMS Report Generator generalstructure is illustrated in Chart 13.


A360-670-16


1. Student Related Functions

Raw Grading of Student Responses-calculating of grades using appro-priate grading methodologies.

Retrieving Student DirectionInformation (Table 6) linkingstudent work to a course, andproviding additional course in-sight for student.

Scheduling Additional Student WorkSessions determining which studentsshould participate; stressing weakareas of the course.

2. Instructor Related Functions

Capsulization of student work -

tabular formated reports for varioustypes of grades; storing and updatingof historical data on cumulativeaverages; determining status of Stu-dent work processing.

Statistical Presentations -

frequency distribution bar charts;item analyses on student responses.

3. Student Response Grading Methodologies -

There are three distinct grading algorithmsused in AIMS III to evaluate student responses.

a. Pre-Test, Post-Test, and Assignment Materials...are graded using the standard percentagealgorithm the total number of correctquestions over the total number of questionsrequired. A student is marked as "incorrect"if he has indicated more than one correctresponse.

b. Homework and Study Guidesare processedusing special algorithms. These are in-structor graded functions utilizing a fiveresponse mechanism. Where the instructorhas given an "A" grade for a homeworkassignment, the student receives 100 forthe question; a "B" is equal to 80, a "C"is equal to 60, a "D" is equal to 30, andan "E" is equal to zero (0). These numeric



values are summed, per response, and thesum is divided by the number of questionsutilized. The result is the grade forthe homework assignment.

The study guide algorithm is based on afive response media. It will functionfor another response type media; but itwill produce a biased result. Thisalgorithm is based on a multi -hunch theory.That is, if the first student response toa question is correct, it is graded as "100";if two responses are required, the gradebecomes "80"; three responses would he a gradeof "40"; four responses would be a grade of"10", and five responses, a zero ('0'). Thesum of the subgrades divided by the numberof questions per work, is the final gradefor a study guide.

4. Report Generation The AIMS III Report Generatoris designed to operate off-line from the mainAIMS system; and is constructued in a modular form.Each report format is programmed as a separatemodule, and the total number of modules is easilyvaried. Report data is available to this phaseby accessing files previously created by the AIMSSystem.

After program initialization, reports may begenerated by using a sorted Student Response Tape,or the Master Response tape with the ReportGenerator. A Request Deck used to request reportscontains a Report Number Card (Layout 6) whichwhen read instructs the program as to which speci-fic reports have been requested. The program thenselects the first report requested, and reads aReport Content Card (Layout 7), which describesthe particular lesson, segment, and type the reportis for. The program then draws the proper datafrom the appropriate AIMS files, organizes it foroutput, and transmits it to either printer or tape.Certain reports also require a Special Data cardwhich has no set format.

Reports can be produced for every test within alesson by using one Request Deck. But, processingof more than one volume within the same deck isnot permitted.


A360-670-k3


The reports modules currently available areexplained below, and output formats of thesereports are included in the AIMS III UsersManual A350-670.

REPORT NO. 1 - Individual Student Performance

This report is designed to give the student abasic question by question evaluation of hiswork on a given test. Tests are identified bylesson, type and segment. Students are identi-fied by course student number, name, studentID number, section and group. Th:: maximum num-ber of questions in a test is 48. This corres-ponds to the double port-a-punch card maximum.Each line of the report gives the student theEollowing information:

Question NumberCorrect or Incorrect AnswerMeasurable Behavioral Objective (mB0)DescriptionPrescriptive Assignment

The criteria for correct or incorrect is obtainedby matching the student's response record withthe correct answer in the AIMS HEADER file. If amatch is found, a "c" is printed; if not, a "w".

MBO descriptions and the prescriptive assignmentsare obtained from the AIMS Question File, wherethere is a record for each question on the test.If a student answers the question correctly, thiscolumn is not filled in. If an incorrect answeris recorded, the corresponding MBO descriptionand prescriptive assignment is nrinted on the linefor that question.

At the bottom of the report, the students raw scoreis printed and the message "You must see your in-structor to discuss this test" is produced if morethan a certain number of questions are missed.

To request this report requires only the ReportRequest Deck, containing the Report Number andReport Content Cards. Special data cards are notneeded.

REPORT NO. 4 - HISTOGRAM

This is a frequency distribution of the number ofstudents having scores of averages falling withinvarious cells, or score spreads. As it is givenboth graphically and numerically, it summarizesthe total performance record on any individual test.It therefore provides a quick visual analysis ofthe entire student population. Peatures includedare automatic scaling on both axis, and a zero valuecounter.

The graphic portion, a bar chart, shows the distri-bution of scores, while the numeric portion givesthe actual number of students falling within anyrange of scores.

The heading identifies the course and test requested.Course name, lesson number, segment, and type aretaken directly from the Report Content Card.

The vertical axis represents numbers of students.The physical length of the axis remains the same,but there are four different scales available auto-matically, depending on the largest population ofall the cells. Maximum values are 40, 80, 120, and160 respectively.

The horizontal axis contains two sets of values, thelength of which is determined by the number of ques-tions in the test. There is one cell for each question.

The top line "scores" ascends from left to right,with all the possible grades that can be attained.The bottom line "students" lists the number ofstudents falling into each grade population.

The height of each bar on the chart, illustratesthe number in each grade cell. Zero values arerecorded separately, and listed at the bottom ofthe printout. A zero can be the result of a stu-dent scoring zero, or missing the exam.

The Histogram can also be applied to the scoresachieved on a particular homework assignment; al-though primary application is for Pre-Test andPost-Test. Requesting this report requires onlythe Report Number and Report Content cards in theReport Request Deck.

REPORT NO. 7 GROUP REMEDIAL INSTRUCTION ((SRI)

The objective of this report is to provide a completeanalysis of the problem areas for each student in thecourse. Students missing the Terminal Objective (TO)more than a pre-specified percentage of times areflagged for remedial help, and assigned to remedialsessions on the basis of their weakest points. The


A360- 670 22

criterial level at which the students work is judgedto be unsatisfactory, can be varied by the user.

This report consists of the five following separatereport sections:

SECTION 1 Terminal Objective Cutoff Level containsa complete list ot all terminal objectives (TO) inthe lesson and the respective cutoff levels. Theterminal objective cutoff level is the percentagelevel of incorrect answers, out of the total numberof questions asked, against a given terminal objec-tive, above which a student will be flagged forremedial help. This level is chosen by, and inputby, the user. For example: If there are twelvequestions in a lesson which apply to terminalobjective ten, and the cutoff level is set atthirty-three percent, then the student who missesfour or more questions pertaining to that terminalobjective, will be flagged for remedial help.

SECTION 2 Individual Student Analysis is a break-down by student, of performance on each individualterminal objective (TO). The performance data pre-sented for each TO is the students percentage erroron the TO, and the corresponding cutoff level. Thepercentage error is the number of incorrect answerson questions pertaining to a given TO, divided bythe total number of questions asked within the les-son on that TO.

SECTION 3 Terminal Objective Remedial Summary is alisting by terminal objective of the students whoperformed above the cutoff level set for a particu-lar terminal objective. The TO is identified, aswell as the students and their percentage error onthe TO.

The TO is identified by lesson number, TO number,and the number of questions within the lesson, whichrefer to the TO.

Students are identified by name and identificationnumber, and their percentage error on the TO islisted.


ADVANCED SYSTEMS LABORATORY A360-670-23AIMS III SYSTEMS MANUAL

SECTION 4 Remedial Session Lesson Plan containsterminal objectives assigned to the sessions accord-ing to the number of students who performed abovethe cutoff level for the TO. The TO's are dis-tributed so that the number of students per sessionis more or less even. Sessions are numbered and theprofessor and location is given, along with the TO'sFor the session, their respective cutoff levels, andthe number of students above the cutoff level.

There are two types of input the user has to providefor the planning of remedial sessions. Pirst, themaximum number of sessions and maximum number ofstudents allowed per session. Second, the professor'sname and the location for the session should be pro-vided.

The terminal objectives are assigned to the sessions,according to the number of students who performedabove the cutoff level for the TO. An attempt ismade to distribute the TO's, so that the number ofstudents per session is more or less even.

There is one page of output for each session and thesessions are numbered giving the professor and loca-tion. The terminal objectives for the session arelisted along with their respective cutoff levels, andthe number of students who are above the cutoff level.

SECTION 5 Remedial Session Roster assigns students totheir remedial sessions based on their percentage errorsrecorded for each TO. Students falling into more thanone session will be directed towards the session cover-ing their lowest performance.

The scheduler attempts to assign students to the ses-sion, covering their first, or second choice of TO's.A first choice, is defined as the terminal objectiveon which the student performed worst. A second choice,is the second worst. If because of session overflows,the scheduler cannot do this, the student is thenassigned to a rejection roster to be manually assignedby the professor.

Data requirements for requesting AIMS Report 7 includesthe report number card, the report content card and anumber of special data cards. The report number and re-port content cards are standard for the AIMS ReportGenerator.


A360-670-24


The first set of cards following the report contentcard are the terminal objective cutoff level cards.There should be a card for each terminal objectiveand both data fields must be right adjusted. If aTO exists, but there is no'cutoff level card, thesystem assumes the cutoff level to be zero. Theentire set of cutoff level cards should be followedby a delimiter card.

The next special data card sets the maximum numberof sessions, and the maximum number of studentsallowed per session.

The last set of special data cards nrovide the pro-fessors' name and the location of their sessions.This information can be recorded in tree format any-where within the 80 columns of a card. There mustbe as many cards submitted as the maximum number ofsessions requested. Blank cards may be substitutedif this information is not available.

REPORT NO. 13 VOLUME STATISTICS

This is a one page report fixed format containingGroup Statistics for Report Number 14. It isgenerated automatically, and prints out prior toReport 14.

REPORT NO. 14 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS FOR HARVEYPOLLACK INDICES

In this report, the Harvey Pollack indices are usedto measure student performance. The major restric-tion placed on this report, is that there can onlybe one study guide for the course structure. Thereport will create erroneous results for a multi-segmented study guide course.

The input required to generate Report 14 is basi-cally the same as for most reports in the ReportGenerator. The report number card performs thestandard function in the output generator. Thereport content card controls the report's internalfunctions. The volume number signifies the desiredvolume to be graded, but if the response tape doesnot contain the indicated volume, the run will beterminated or the tape will be scanned for the pro-per volume. When the master response tape is used,the report will position the tape at the desiredvolume and grade the course, and included volumes,from that point until the end of file is reached.



The type and segment numbers have to reflect all thepossible types and segments that will be encounteredin all the volumes to be processed. A warning mes-sage is printed out if a volume does not have all ofthe specified types and segments in the header file,for grading purposes. As long as the header filereflects the types and segments which are on the re-sponse tape, the report will function correctly.

Report 14 stores cumulative average data on the APISScore file (Table 7). Because of the nature of thisdata, certain limitations are placed on the actualvolumes in a course for which a report is requested.A volume one may be requested, or, the next sequentialvolume (i.e., a volume ten after volume nine has beenreported on) may be reported on without restrictions.If a Report 14 is requested for a volume nine, aftervolume ten has been reported on, an error conditionwill be issued for each students line of output, anda message is printed.

THIS STUDENT HAS COMPLETED WORK BEYOND THISVOLUME.

To generate output on this student for the desiredvolume, a volume one has to be requested, utilizingthe master response tape, this will zero the cumula-tive data, and initialize all averages correctly.

The two output reports generator by Report 14 (13 and14) are basically of a self-explanatory nature.Report 13 is the Group Statistics which is fixed for-mat and just one page.

Report 14 has a basic tabular format. Its length isa function of students enrolled in the course. Threemessages are printed out, depending on various condi-tions.

REPORT NO. 1S VOLUME SUMMARY

This report will grade an entire volumes work thathas been submitted by the students enrolled in thecourse. It can also grade a single volume or anentire course master file.

Report 1S has a present maximum capability of 18Sstudents enrolled in the course. The largest coursestructure is one pre-test, post-test, assignment, andone homework, all with one segment. The study guidecan have up to five segments.

The report output is in tabular form and gives a cap-sule view of the volumes work, with, all the pertinentinformation which is outlined below.

The Volume Summary stores cumulative average data onthe AIMS III Score file. Because of the nature ofthis data, certain limitations are placed on the ac-tual volumes in a course, for which a report isrequested. A volume one report, or the next sequen-tial volume, (i.e., a volume eight after a volumeseven has been reported on), may be requested without

any restrictions. IF a Report 15 is requested fora volume eight, after volume nine has been renortedon, an error condition will arise, and a message isprinted:

(***ERROR***VOLUmE NO. , XXX HAS BEEN PROCESSEDBY REPORT 15. REPORT REQUEST TERmTNATED. TOGENERATE REPORT 15 FOR VOLUME NO., XXX REQUESTA REPORT FOR VOLUME ONE.

NOTE, XXX is the volume number requested by the user.

The report request, as indicated, is terminated.

To generate output for the desired volume, a volumeone has to be requested, utilizing the master re-sponse tape, this will zero the cumulative data andinitialize all averages correctly.

The standard AIMS Report generator sequence isrequired to generate Report 1S. A report numbercard and a report content card are also required.The report number Card performs the standard Func-tion. The report content card controls the VolumeSummary internal functions. The volume number sig-nifies the desired volume to be graded, but if theresponse tape does not contain the indicated volumeit will not be graded. When the master responsetape is used the report will position the tape atthe desired volume and grade the tape from that pointuntil the end of file is reached.

The type and segment numbers have to reflect all thepossible types and segments that will be encounteredin all the volumes to be processed. A warning mes-sage is printed out if a volume does not have all ofthe specified types and segments, but this will noteffect the operation of Report 1S.

The output is in tabular form with the students listedvertically. The student line contains the studentname, section, and group number (if applicable), andthe course student number. Directly after CSN thegrades and averages are listed in order of pre-test,assignment, homework, post-test, performance index,cumulative average, and capability index. The capa-bility index is calculated when a student is enrolledin the course, and is therefore a constant.
