use the results to improve
student learning.
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes'? If so, please
summarize how and why in the
boxes below:
Instructor will measure student
proficiency in understanding of
vehicles systems by documented
instructor observation, written
exams, and hands-on lab task
sheets
Instructors used a pre-test before
instruction and a post-test to
evaluate overall increase or
decrease of basic vehicle
operation and maintenance
items.
Pre-test results showed an
average score of 37% for
knowledge of basic design,
construction, operation, and
maintenance. Post- test results
showed an average score of
63%. An increase of34% for
pre-test questions
We have updated our chapter
review questions in the
workbook to enhance vehicle
operating systems and the need
for vehicle scheduled
maintenance. Inspection lab
worksheets have been revised to
enhance vehicle inspections.
We feet the changes made to the
review questions and instructor
presentation for the updated
information will improve the
outcome by 15%. More precise
lab worksheet will direct the
student to the targeted area of
the vehicle
Mechanical aptitude will be
measured by documented
instructor observation, written
exams, and hands-on lab task
sheets
Students used a workbook with
30 lab worksheets that covered
all five areas of instruction. On
the post-test, students
demonstrated an overall score of
79% on tool usage
Individual scores for use of lab
worksheets during shop
activities mirrored the final
score for that student.
Again, the update to our lab
worksheets will assist the
student to preform vehicle
inspections and maintenance
procedures
