Electrical Principles and Wiring Review. Courseware Evaluation for Vocational and Technical Education.
Kaylor, Robert; And Others
This courseware evaluation rates the Electrical Principles and Wiring Review program developed by Hobar Publications. (The program--not contained in this document--includes 400 test questions on basic electricity, grounding, transmission, measuring, and practical wiring practices.) Part A describes the program in terms of subject area and hardware requirements (Apple II, color monitor, and printer), indicates its suitability for use as drill and practice in grades 11-12, and gives a time estimate (30 minutes per section for 7 sections). Accompanying materials include a manual, student information sheet, and teacher answer key. Availability information includes contact address. Part B contains the evaluation criteria in eight categories; reviewer ratings appear as yes, somewhat, no, and not applicable, with explanatory comments. Part C summarizes the evaluation. This program received yes ratings for technical presentation and student interaction; somewhat for subject matter, student evaluation, and documentation; and no for program interaction. Reviewers noted that the program gives teachers the ability to create a test from the file of questions, but that students may become bored and one computer per student is required. (SK)
