The purpose of this conference was to share the information gathered by the Clearinghouse for Applied Performance Testing (CAPT) such as information on performance testing that could be used in public schools, and secondly, to discuss problems that must be solved, issues that should be addressed, and additional research and development needed in the area of Applied Performance Testing (APT). The presentations by the Clearinghouse dealt with the state of the art of APT, an overview of Clearinghouse activities, instructional materials developed on APT, and guidelines for the evaluation of APT materials and procedures. The invited address by Saul Livisky was presented next. This was followed by small group discussion reports on problems, issues, and needed research development in APT. In the next section individual papers are presented discussing these problems, issues, etc. Appendices contain participants in this 1975 conference, handouts accompanying the invited address, and guidelines for the evaluation of APT materials and procedures.
