Data Processing Bulletin N.3 (Jun 1973), Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

ACER historical documents

Since the beginning of this year ACER has been regularly using the ICIANZ computing installation. Most of this work has been associated with the OSIRIS package of programs. Recently there has also been a growing number of people wishing to run standard Fortran programs (particularly those associated with the Veldman series).

Information about running programs from the OSIRIS package can be readily obtained from the OSIRIS manual. However, when running standard Fortran programs at ICI there are several "house rules" which must be followed. These are described in section B.

They are located in the newly created offices in the South East corner of the first floor. They are concerned with the planning and conducting of surveys, the analysis of data and, to an increasing extent, with the use of computers and computer programming. They are willing to give advice on such problems as the design of a questionnaire and the planning of a sampling frame, as well as on more technical matters concerned with the computer analysis …

Whither The Australian Agricultural Colleges?, Alan W. Black

Quarterly Review of Australian Education

'That part of the holding of a farmer or landowner which pays best for cultivation is the small estate within the ring-fence of his skull.'1 These words were written by Charles Dickens in an article concerning the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, to which he sent his own son as a student. That college had been opened in 1846 and it subsequently served as one of the main models on which the early Australian agricultural colleges were fashioned. The other main model was that of the American agricultural colleges, which, at least in the early years of their existence, differed from …

ACER historical documents

In this issue a description is presented of an ongoing study of the ACER Test of Learning Ability (TOLA). It was decided by ACER early last year to carry out a series of studies investigating a number of aspects of the test, such as its validity and the effect of reading ability on test scores. The first study (essentially a pilot study) was carried out in October last year (1971) and was primarily an investigation of the concurrent validity of the test. In August this year a further study will be carried out, examining the effect of the verbal nature …

Nsw Counsellor's Bulletin /Australian Council For Educational Research, Measurement Unit No. 1, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

ACER historical documents

We have chosen to initiate this bulletin series by discussing the development of the Test of Learning Ability (TOLA) (Form A) because (i) the 1972 edition of the test will be distributed within the next few weeks and Counsellors will be able to see what has been the outcome of criticisms made about previous editions; (ii) we feel that this illustrates the potential benefit of close liaison between test constructors and test users in reconciling a variety of potential uses of a test. Liaison between the Test Advisory Committee and the ACER Test Research and Development Division has increased as …
