ABSTRACT:
A system for assessing the diagnostic reasoning ability of learners engaged in a field of study employs a coded situation test and utilizes a computerized process for grading examinations taken by the learners and for rating their capacity for diagnostic reasoning. The computerized diagnostic reasoning evaluation instrument embodies storage in a test file of the situation test description which describes, illustratively in narrative form, a plurality of problems associated with the situation test employing a plurality of phrases. Each phrase has associated therewith a respective phrase identification symbol which is used by the examinee to record answers to the examination. In a nursing embodiment of the invention, each learner selects from a listing of possible problems. Those problems which are considered by the learner to be significant and present in the situation test are then identified by storing their respectively associated code symbol. In practice, the answers by the examinee may be entered directly into a computer by the examinee, or may be recorded by the examinee on paper and later entered into the grading computer by someone else. Subsequently, the learner is asked to identify which of the selected problems are significant using supporting data, and create from coded objectives, criteria, interventions, and rationale listings an intervention plan which is proposed by the learner to resolve the major problems. Grading is achieved by reference to a computerized answer key generated by an expert, such as a teacher, and stored in a computer memory as an answer key.
