P.E.R.T. Diagnostic Learning PathwaysGoal
Approach
Measurement
• Provide learning opportunities for developmental students• Promote students one developmental level• Require proof of growth for level-promotion
• Identify strengths and weaknesses through PERT Diagnostics
• Activate Learning Pathways aligned with weaknesses• Set a clear goal and a clear path to achievement• Use media and interactivity to engage the learning process• Let students set the learning sequence and learning pace
• Allow students to prove growth• Make performance easy to understand

Components and CharacteristicsTechnology-Enhanced Items
Seamless Transition between Applications
Pathway Continuation
• Authentic Response v. Selected Response• Engaging Interactivity• Higher Order Thinking and Cognitive Complexity• Hints and Explanations – In-Task Feedback• Item Exclusivity
• Automatic Generation of Individualized Learning Pathways• Students will painlessly move between programs
• Poor performance will extend the Learning Pathway• Performance items will become Practice items• Not an endless loop
Pathway Learning Objects• Text Highlight
Students are asked to respond to a task by locating and identifying textual elements (words, sentences, paragraphs).
• Association (Drag-and-Drop)Students are asked to make associations between words, ideas, or syntactic or grammatical elements.
• Scored Short Answer Students are asked to type a word or phrase to respond to the task.
Pathway Learning Objects• Formula
Students are asked to respond to a task in mathematical language, including fractions, exponents, and square roots.
• Cloze Fill-in-the-BlankStudents are asked to fill in one or more blanks within the context of an expression, equation, sentence, or paragraph.
• Cloze Multiple ChoiceStudents are asked to make selections from lists of options in context to demonstrate comprehension-related skills and show logical connections between ideas.
Additional Content Elements• Hints (the “how”)
Provide students with information, direction, and/or guidance during the task (practice tasks only). Hints may contain text and/or media elements.
• Explanations (the “why”)Provide analysis and reasoning related to why responses are correct or incorrect, including rule-based explanations (practice tasks only). Explanations may contain text and/or media elements.
• Test ToolsStudents will have access to a four-function calculator.

Performance within the defined scaled score range activates delivery of the P.E.R.T. Lower Level Diagnostic
Performance below the competency-specific cut activates delivery of a competency-specific Learning Pathway
Performance above the Learning Pathway cut ends the instructional sequence
Overall performance determines final placement decision (for example: MAT0018 or MAT0028)
