Variance Explained

The adaptation of paper-and-pencil tests to computers may be confounded by differences between the medium of paper-and-pencil and computers. The purpose of this study was to adapt the Hidden Figures Test for use on PLATO and determine the alternate-form reliability of the computerized version as compared to the paper-and-pencil version. The HFT is one of the most commonly used tests to measure the cognitive style known as field independence-field dependence. The results showed that the test could be adapted with some modifications and that a significant relationship was found between scores on the two versions of the test, though the total amount of variance explained between the tests was low. The results suggest that the computerized version may be measuring computer anxiety, perception of computer generated figures, and previous experience with a keyboard, as well as the construct under study.

Advantages And Disadvantages ◽

Paper And Pencil

Computerized testing offers many advantages over paper and pencil exams. Advantages can include increased security, greater availability of the exam, rapid scoring, and reduced administrative costs. Possible disadvantages can include the need for computer hardware and software, computer glitches, and computer anxiety. This chapter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of computerized testing followed by a description of the experience of a state-based dental board as they transitioned from a paper and pencil exam to a computerized exam.

Paper And Pencil

Ziele: Formulierung evidenzbasierter Leitlinien, die Screening und Kurzintervention im Rahmen der medizinischen Basisversorgung erleichtern sollen. Methode: Literaturrecherche in der Datenbank MEDLINE und Auswertung der seit 1995 publizierten Studien. Ergebnisse: <OL><LI>Screening: Sensitivität und Spezifität einfacher »Paper and Pencil«-Verfahren sind in der Regel höher als die herkömmlicher biochemischer Marker. <LI>Intervention: Eine minimale Intervention kann zahlreiche Patienten veranlassen, den Konsum von Alkohol zu reduzieren. Kurzinterventionen sind in hohem Maße kosteneffizient.</OL> Schlussfolgerungen: Vor dem Hintergrund der vorliegenden Literatur erscheint die Implementierung sekundärpräventiver Maßnahmen gerechtfertigt.
