Army Asks for ’Guinea Pigs’;
UO Students to Ponder Exams
To establish norms for the interpretation of test results de
termining the educational level of men and women leaving for
the service, 150 Oregon students, upon request of the U. S.
Armed Forces institute, will take examinations in three fields of
study on May 14, Dr. Leona Tyler, psychology instructor,
announced.
Selected at random, each of the students will write a two
hour examination which, when results are determined, will be
a ..taeans ..of ..fixing' ..educational
evaluation and of giving- college
credit f >r schooling or equivocal
experience service men may re
ceive while in the forces.
The groups will be given tests
in 'backgrounds of social science,
English composition and trigo
nometry There is no compulsion
connected with the exams, nor
wilt results in any way affect the
student’s grade in the regular
course at the end of the term, it
was stressed.
•Students are asked to cooper
ate. however, or the sample will
not be complete.
Tests in social science will be
given 75 students who have had
three terms of it; English compo
sition, 50 students; trigonometry,
2(i students. Dr. Tyler will con
duet the tests. Impartially select
ed students will receive commu
nications this week telling them
the time and place of the tests.
An appeal to patriotism was made
in asking students to cooperate.
Each student will take only one
exam.
Demobilized men and women, if
they decide to return to school or
enter college will take the tests
Vpon the basis of previous edu
cation and training while in the
.■Service. College credit will be giv
en when results are high enough
to warrant placement.
The Institute will not specify
or recommend the amount of high
school or college credit that
Should be granted. It will only
report the individual scores on the
examinations, together with ap
propriate norms for their inter
pretation. The University itself
will decide how they will use the
test results in the granting- of
credit. The tests will be sent to
the board of examinations of the
institute in Chicago.
