      <title>ADVANCED MECHANICAL TRAINING PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/62286</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Advanced Mechanical Training Program (AMTP) was a joint effort of the Southern California Rapid Transit District's Personnel Department and Maintenance and Equipment Department. Administrative aspects of the program including scheduling of classes, candidate selection, overall coordination and program evaluation were the responsibility of the Personnel Department. The Maintenance and Equipment Department assumed technical responsibility for instructor selection, subject matter development, selection of textbooks and training materials, etc. The Mechanical Training Coordinator, who also directs the District's successful Utility A to Mechanic Training Program, coordinated classroom training.]]></description>

      <title>SHIPYARD TRADE SKILL PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/455899</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Eight US naval shipyards in conjunction with US Naval Sea Systems Command, have developed a system of written and performance tests applicable to journeymen level production workers.  These tests were developed in compliance with the US Government's Uniform Guidelines on Selection Procedures and submitted to the US Office of Personnel Management for approval.  Four specific applications are envisioned for the tests: (1) promotion of worker-grade personnel to journeyman positions; (2) hiring experienced personnel from outside the Federal Government: (3) identification of requirements for either additional or remedial training of apprentices; and (4) identification of deficiencies in personnel training programs.  Growth plans for the programs include progress tests for apprentice programs, measurement associated with qualifications on new procedures, and certification in lieu of training on certain repetitive programs.  Tests have been developed for 17 trades and validated by trial administrations at each of the naval shipyards.  As part of the development process a task analysis was performed for each of the trades.  Computer programs used for test generation allow the test designer to specify which tasks are to be measured in any given test and allow the tests to accommodate differences in job content and procedures a the several locations.  Scoring and analysis features are also included in the computerized testing programs.  The task analysis and the computer programs are in the public domain.  As such they can be made available to commercial shipyards with potential testing applications.]]></description>

      <title>STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PRELIMINARY DATA FOR THE SAFE PERFORMANCE CURRICULUM DRIVING KNOWLEDGE TEST</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/144158</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of the report is to present a statistical analysis of preliminary data for the Driving Knowledge Test, which is one of the intermediate measures to be used in evaluating the Safe Performance Curriculm. The test is administered on a pre-post basis to randomly formed groups of Safe Performance Curriculum (SPC) and Pre-Driver Licensing (PDL) students throughout the duration of the project. Principal findings and conclusions of this report include as follows: (1) The reliability of the test is estimated to be approximately r = .80, which may be considered to be an adequate level of reliability for a nonstandardized achievement test. (2) The SPC program is superior to the PDL program in terms of driving knowledge gained by students. The superiority of the SPC also holds true for subtests of the total test as well as total test scores. (3) SPC students acquire a high level of mastery of knowledges required for the driving task, as measured by the test.]]></description>
