- Summary:
-
A study examined the effects of standards on learning in automotive repair programs. This report describes the methods followed to conduct the evaluation and present its main findings. An analysis of covariance design was used to test the hypothesis that graduates of National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-certified automotive repair programs score higher on standardized tests of knowledge of automotive repair than graduates of non-ASE-certified programs. Groups of students from four automotive programs in each of two states (secondary and postsecondary ASE-certified and secondary and postsecondary noncertified certified programs in both Florida and Pennsylvania) were given a test measuring knowledge of eight areas of automotive repair on which ASE certifies programs. The Test of Cognitive Skills, Second Edition was used to adjust the dependent variable scores. In all, 15 secondary-level and 41 postsecondary-level students from noncertified and 33 secondary-level and 47 postsecondary-level students from certified programs were tested. Site visits were also made to each program. The mean test scores (of a possible score of 90) for the secondary-level students from certified and noncertified programs were 57.64 and 47.27, respectively. The mean scores for the postsecondary-level students from certified and noncertified programs were 67.09 and 65.68, respectively. Students from the ASE-certified programs thus scored significantly higher on the standardized test. (MN)
