Item banking interactive testing and self-assessment ; [proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Item Banking, Interactive Testing and Self-Assessment, held in Liège, Belgium, October 27-31, 1992

Assessment has long been recognized as a key feature in learning efficacy, especially through formative evaluation. Item banking, the storage and classification of test items, is an essential part of systematic assessment. This volume is based on a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held as part of the Special Programme on Advanced Educational Technology. The workshop brought together scholars from around the world to discuss and critically analyze the issues and problems associated with Subjective Probability Measurement (SPM) or the more generic research area called self-assessment. Recent advances in computer technology (expert systems, interactive video disks, and hypermedia) along with the developing sophistication of self-assessment scoring systems based on SPM made this conference particularly important and timely. The book is divided into three main parts: - The input: item banking and hypermedia - The process: subjective probabilities - The output: teaching and learning feedbacks. In summary, although SPM is a difficult theoretical concept for most educators to comprehend, the sophisticated nature of modern computer systems coupled with comprehensive formative and summative evaluation and self-assessment systems make SPM transparent to the user.

International experts in the field cover the whole spectrum of the state of the art. Clear and self-explanatory illustrations depict the operative procedures in a step-by-step manner. The authors communicate tips and tricks, thus enabling the reader to easily reproduce the procedures with the desired results. Through direct comparison between arthroscopic and MRI photographs the surgeon will be able to correlate the two and draw important conclusions. Another focus is placed on post-operative MRI evaluation. The reader is provided with up-to-date information and a valuable guide in his daily routine. This volume in the NATO Special Programme on Advanced Educational Technology analyzes the issues associated with Subjective Probability Measurement (SPM) or the more generic research area called self-assessment in education. New technology makes SPM transparent to the user and should improve educational evaluation. Considering the various techniques in arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder joint, this volume brings together a team of international experts in the field. Illustrations, tips and tricks take the reader through the operative procedures step-by-step to allow them to be reproduced.
