ANALYSIS OF PROCTOR MARKING ACCURACY IN A COMPUTER‐AIDED PERSONALIZED SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION COURSE

Abstract

In a computer‐aided version of Keller's personalized system of instruction (CAPSI), students within a course were assigned by a computer to be proctors for tests. Archived data from a CAPSI‐taught behavior modification course were analyzed to assess proctor accuracy in marking answers as correct or incorrect. Overall accuracy was increased by having each test marked independently by two proctors, and was higher on incorrect answers when the degree of incorrectness was larger.
