I. INTRODUCTION

A.Title - THE TUNE-UP MECHANIC WORK SAMPLE

B.Assessment Description - The TUNE-UP MECHANIC WORK SAMPLE was developed to assess an individual's ability, within the area of automobile mechanics, by performing an actual tune-up on a 2.0L engine.

Motor's Time and Parts Guide, (Forier, 1972), states that a minor tune-up consists of setting the spark timing, adjusting the idle, changing the spark plugs, condenser, points, and gaping the spark plugs and points. In addition, David Bergstrand, Line Mechanic, employed at Berg Chevrolet, agrees with this definition with the exception of setting the spark timing and adjusting the idle, (July 11, 1973). This work sample was constructed in such a way that timing the spark and adjusting the idle would be impractical. Those procedures could possibly be evaluated through the use of additional work sampling in the automotive repair area, or through the use of a special project.

Through the successful completion of this work sample, the evaluator has the opportunity to assess the client's ability to:

1.move fingers and manipulate small objects

2.perceive pertinent detail in objects or in pictorial or graphic material

3.work precisely without errors

4.handle effectively the tools necessary to complete a tune-up

5.student interest in automotive repair work

C.Job Listing - The job on which this work sample is based (see Appendix A, Job Analysis Schedule, page 22) is described in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles Revised Fourth Edition, 1991 under automobile mechanic (auto.ser.) and has a DOT code of 620.261-010 (p. 536).

D.Related Jobs - Examples of related jobs include:

Edition Code

Automobile-Self-Service Station

Attendant 915.477-010

Automobile-Service-Station

Attendant 915.467-010

Motorboat Mechanic Helper 623.684-010

Tune-up Mechanic 620.281-066

Lubrication Servicer 915.687-018

This list of related jobs contains occupations which require major tasks not included in this work sample, therefore, to assess the remaining job tasks needed, further work sample administration and/or other forms of assessment will be necessary to support any recommendations in related areas.

E.Validity - Content validity was assessed by a task matrix which compared the work tasks of a tune-up mechanic to the tasks required on the work sample. It was determined by the matrix that 60% of the tasks actually performed by a tune-up mechanic were contained within the work sample.

The work sample has high face validity in that the student actually does a basic ignition tune-up using the same tools used by a tune-up mechanic.

III.ADMINISTRATION/OBSERVATION POINTS

During the performance section of the work sample, the student's progress is monitored by observation points. At the completion of certain tasks, the student is asked to call his/her evaluator to check or approve his/her completed work. At this time, the evaluator begins or stops timing, makes note of the quality of the student's work, inspects the work for errors (see Section IV, SCORING, pg. 13), and determines the student's interest level. This information is then

recorded on the Tune-Up Mechanic Task Observation and Scoring Form [(TOSF) Figure III].

During the performance of the work sample, the evaluator monitors the student's work behaviors and records behavior observations on the TOSF.

Before the student begins the work station, the evaluator should read the following instructions to the student: (He/she may read the instructions verbatim to the student, or note the key points in his/her own words).

YOU WILL BE PERFORMING A BASIC TUNE-UP ON A 2.0 LITER ENGINE. TO COMPLETE THE JOB, YOU WILL USE:

--AN AUDIO CASSETTE TAPE. THE TAPE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THE CAREER AND HOW TO DO THE JOB.

--A PROCEDURE MANUAL. THE MANUAL WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO COMPLETE THE JOB AND THE TOOLS AND MATERIALS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE JOB.

--THE CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER THAT YOU ARE USING IS A DELICATE INSTRUMENT. PLEASE DO NOT MISTREAT IT. THE CASSETTE TAPE IS PERMANENTLY INSTALLED IN THE PLAYER AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED FOR ANY REASON. IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH THE TAPE OR TAPE PLAYER, CALL YOUR EVALUATOR. THE CONTROLS ARE CLEARLY MARKED ON THE CASSETTE PLAYER BY GREEN AND RED TABS; GREEN FOR GO, AND RED FOR

STOP.

WHILE THE TAPE IS PLAYING, LISTEN TO THE AUDIO INSTRUCTOR. DO NOT PERFORM ANY OF THE TASKS WHILE THE INSTRUCTOR IS TALKING. WHEN THE AUDIO INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SECTION ARE COMPLETED, THE AUDIO INSTRUCTOR WILL ISSUE THE COMMAND: "STOP THE TAPE AND COMPLETE THE TASK", OR "STOP THE TAPE, COMPLETE THE TASK, THEN CALL YOUR EVALUATOR." AT THIS TIME, PRESS THE RED BUTTON, AND COMPLETE THE REQUIRED TASKS FOR THAT SECTION. WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THE TASK, TURN THE PAGE, AND PRESS THE GREEN BUTTON (GO) ON THE TAPE PLAYER OR CALL YOUR EVALUATOR IF INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

--PUT YOUR HEADPHONES ON AND BEGIN LISTENING.

IV.SCORING

A.Criteria/Errors - All scores should be recorded on the provided TUNE-UP MECHANIC work sample TOSF (Figure III). The student will receive both a time and quality performance score as well as an individual time score for the work sample.

To determine the student's performance score, his/her total elapsed time in minutes (pages 6 to 21) and the total errors are compared to the quartile rating scale (Table 1 or 2) and recorded on the TOSF.

To determine the student's industrial rating, the following equation is used:

_____ x 100 = % industrial standard for total time

Y

Y equals the student's total elapsed time score recorded in minutes.

The quality score is based on the number of errors recorded. No industrial quality standard has been established.

In addition, performance and behavior observations will be recorded on the TOSF.

ERRORS

One point should be scored for each error.

The table required for recording time and quality scores is located at the bottom of the TOSF (Figure III).

C.Forms - The TOSF (Figure III) is to be used in recording performance and behavioral observations, student's reaction to work sample, and time and error scores. The Interest Check Sheet (Figure II) is used for the student to record his interest level before and after the completion of the work sample.

V.INSIGHTS - It is recommended that the following adaptions be incorporated into the unit:

A.Red and green tabs on the on/off buttons on the cassette tape player to signify go/stop.

B.This work sample is economical for facilities to use in that there is minimal consumable materials used during the administration of the work sample.

C.This work sample, as with all others, should be looked at as a part of evaluation and should be included with a variety of other assessment devices. Performance on this work sample alone does not indicate an ability nor willingness to become a tune-up mechanic or be employed in the mechanical occupations.

VI.DEVELOPMENTAL DATA

A.Description of Analysis - The TUNE-UP MECHANIC WORK SAMPLE was developed after a review of employment outlook; both local and national indicated a reasonable job market for persons in the auto service mechanic field. After a Job Analysis Schedule (see Page 21) was completed, it was apparent that the tasks involved in tune-up work could be performed by a large number of our students. Courses relative to auto mechanics are available, and it was felt that a TUNE-UP MECHANIC WORK SAMPLE would be a useful exploratory experience for students who are considering taking such course work.

B.Norming Method

1.Performance Norms. The performance norm was developed by collecting total elapsed time scores and errors for special education and disadvantaged high school students assessed by the PACES Vocational Evaluation Center located in Newport News, Virginia. The data collected was converted into a quartile rating for each of the norm groups. Special education students ranged in disability groups including learning disabled, emotionally disturbed, and educable mentally retarded.

2.Industrial Time Rating. A time study was conducted to establish industrial norms. The work sample was studied, and a standard of 100% efficiency was set. One hundred percent efficiency is the rate at which the average employee can perform a given task all day long, without undue fatigue. The standard was determined by stopwatch. No predetermined time standards were used. The procedure for completing the time study included the following:

a.The analyst reads the complete work sample manual for methods, materials to be used, procedural requirements, and the quality standards required for the work sample.

b.The exact procedures were reviewed with the vocational evaluator.

c.Each task was set up and demonstrated by the vocational evaluator, with the analyst performing the time study, and each individual observed to ensure mastery of the procedures.

d.Any discrepancies, interruptions, or deviations from the established procedures were noted. An efficiency judgement was made and noted during timing relative to the individual timed in regards to the individual's speed, dexterity, rhythm, and concentration to the task at hand. Skill and efficiency rating factors used were as follows:

Factor

Superior = 120% 1.20

Above Average = 110% 1.10

Average = 100% 1.00

Below Average = 90% .90

Inferior = 80% .80

e.Each timing was developed using the TOSF. Actual times for tasks were noted, and skill and efficiency judgements assessed.

f.No allowance was made for interruptions or other outside influences in developing the standard because the evaluation process is conducted in a controlled environment. However, fatigue and equipment break down time were taken into consideration as a standard delay allowance factor.
