Section E - Transitional Training Guide. There are no transition training requirements. This area is reserved. PRT II Section - ourse Objective List 1. Measurement. Each proficiency coded STS task or knowledge item taught at the technical school is measured through the use of an objective. n objective is a written instruction for the student so he or she knows what is expected of them to successfully complete training on each task. Each objective is comprised of a condition, behavior, and standard that states what is expected of the student for each task. The condition is the setting in which the training takes place. The behavior is the action a student must demonstrate to accomplish a task (i.e., remove and install wheel and tire assembly). The standard is the level of performance that is measured to ensure the STS proficiency code level is attained. Each objective uses letter code(s) to identify how it is measured. ll objectives use the P code that indicates a progress check is used to measure subject or task knowledge. Progress checks are also used to measure student accomplishment of performance objectives. W indicates a comprehensive written test and is used to measure the subject and/or task knowledge at the end of a block of instruction. P/W indicates separate measurement of both knowledge and performance elements using a written test and a performance progress check. 2. Standard. The minimum standard is 70% on written examinations. Standards for performance measurement are indicated in the objective and delineated on the individual s progress checklist. The instructor documents each students progress on the checklist. Instructor assistance is provided as needed during the progress check, and students may be required to repeat all or part of the behavior until satisfactory performance is attained. Students must satisfactorily complete all Ps prior to taking the written test. 3. Proficiency. Most task performance is taught to the "2b" proficiency level. The "2b" means the student can do most parts of the task, but does need assistance on the hardest parts of the task (partially proficient). The student can also determine step-by-step procedures for doing the task. 4. ourse Objectives.
