A study examined the results of the use of the "Assessing Motivation To Communicate" (AMTC) computerized program with high school students in Anchorage, Alaska, during the 1995-96 school year. The AMTC consists of two self-assessment instruments: the Personal Report of Communication (PRCA-24) and the Willingness to Communicate (WTC). Four department heads and seven teachers participated. Results in student assessments returned by 79 students indicated that 100% found the computer program easy to use and (PRCA-24, 85% and WTC 100%) could respond to all the questions; 89% felt they had enough personal experience to respond to the PRCA-24; and all felt that they had enough personal experience to respond to the WTC. In addition, 68% who took the PRCA-24 and 50% of those who took the WTC felt that their score really reflected their true feelings; 42% did not share their PRCA scores and 40% did not share their WTC scores with teachers, although 68% and 59%, respectively, shared the scores with other students. Results revealed that 31% felt they had a problem with communication apprehension and all but one indicated they had some help with this from their teacher. Results also revealed that most students felt that taking the test was worth their time and that the AMTC should be included for beginning students. (CR)
