SIGI: Field Test and Evaluation of a Computer-Based System of Interactive Guidance and Information. Volume II: Appendices.
Chapman, Warren; And Others
The computer-based System of Interactive Guidance and Information (SIGI) was field tested and evaluated at five community colleges and one university. Developed by Educational Testing Service, SIGI assists students in the process of informed and rational career decision making. These appendices to the final evaluation report contain the manuals used in the operation of SIGI, and the instruments used in the evaluation. The Prediction System Manual explains how a college prepares the material used to adapt this subsystem to its curricula, student population, and grading practices. Appendix B, Occupational Information in SIGI, lists the occupations included, describes the information base, and the procedures for updating it. The Planning System Manual explains the procedures for gathering and organizing the local data used in SIGI's planning subsystem. Appendix D presents the questionnaires used in the evaluation; Appendices E and F give an explanation of the software and hardware used in SIGI. The Counselor's Handbook for SIGI was written to familiarize counselors with the theory behind SIGI, to describe the components of the system, and to anticipate problems that students may encounter in using it.
