Download or read book Validation of Air Force Classification Tests Against Academic Grades in an Aviation High School written by Lloyd G. Humphreys and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force classification tests and the Army General Classification Test were validated against individual course grades in an aviation high school. Course grades showed low to moderate levels of reliability, with those in the terminal aviation-mechanic curriculum somewhat less reliable than grades in the pre-engineering technical curriculum. Most of the multiple correlations of classification test scores with course grades were at a usefully high level. Highest correlations with Air Force aptitude indexes were somewhat lower, and correlations with AGCT still lower. For selection purposes the Air Force classification tests do a better job than the AGCT general intelligence test. The Air Force tests that have the highest utility for selection are Arithmetic Reasoning, Physics, and Pattern Comprehension. Additional mechanical and numerical content, as well as the use of keyed biographical data items, may improve prediction in this school situation. This is the first of a series of reports detailing the longrange validity of Air Force selection tests for technical academic criteria. The Aviation High School provides a unique opportunity for collection of predictor and criterion information for the same individuals over an extended period of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational requirements for airman specialties are given in Air Force Manual 35-1. This study examines the role of some of these gross indicators of academic achievement in predicting technical school grades. Attention was restricted to the educational information shown on testing and assignment record cards completed for a sample of airmen in 13 Air Force specialties. By linear regression techniques it was found that the joint contribution of this limited amount of information permits the prediction of a large part of the variance in technical school grades. High school graduation was the best single predictor among the educational variables. Completion or noncompletion of particular high-school-level courses, although individually and generally predictive of the criterion measures, consistently did not reach a level of practical significance for any specialty when the effects of other information were controlled. Further validation of educational requirements for Air Force specialties should start with better basic information on academic achievement.
