An exploratory application of audio-visual media to the occupation proficiency testing of enlisted soldiers is described. A five-response console which had been developed as a laboratory model was used. A DataQuest machine was adapted for delivery of a multiple choice test of job knowledge. In being tested, the soldier sat in front of the console and listened to the test questions through earphones while viewing supporting visuals projected on a screen. As the DataQuest was connected with a printer, a report of diagnostic/remediation statements was available to the soldier upon completion of the test. Two major conclusions from the study were (1) scores on a multiple choice test of job knowledge were not increased by having the test presented through an audio-visual delivery system rather than in a printed mode; and (2) soldiers expressed strong preference for the machine mediated audio-visual test delivery.
