The Fields Teaching Tests

Using various Latin square and incomplete Latin square formats, the Fields test formats provide a novel way of presenting tests to students using machine scoreable answer sheets that can be item analyzed. These formats are based on Pressey's early work on the use of "teaching machines" and can be developed for most classes. Items can be constructed for students at the initial stages of learning to help them acquire knowledge or they can be used to measure the attainment of course objectives.
