Factor Structure and Criterion-Related Validity of the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test Form T for Pilot Applicants

The Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) is the primary selection tool for officer applicants in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for nearly seven decades. The AFOQT is revised and modified periodically, with rigorous equating and linking effort to ensure comparability and connectivity across forms. The most recent version of AFOQT is Form T that includes 10 cognitive ability and knowledge subtests. Despite the continuing validation effort of the AFOQT across forms, it was mostly directed to the general population of officer applicants, but not to any specific subpopulation. The current investigation reported three studies in an attempt to provide evidence for factor structure and criterion-related validity of AFOQT Form T for pilot applicants via four analytical approaches: meta-analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results suggested that AFOQT Form T data are best represented by a bifactor model with a general ability and four specific abilities, and that each latent construct has a distinct predictive utility for pilot performance criteria.

ЗАСОБИ І МЕТОДИКА ONLINE НАВЧАННЯ ФІЗИКИ В ТЕХНІЧНОМУ УНІВЕРСИТЕТІ

In this paper, we discuss technological and methodological problems that occur during synchronous distance learning. The technological problem is associated with the choice of software products for conducting such classes. It is shown that, instead of the well-known Zoom webinar program, it is possible to use simultaneously one of the webinar programs (Google Meet, FreeConferenceCall or others) and the interactive whiteboard, for example, IDroo, LiveBoard, Jamboard, Twiddla, or others. The technical characteristics of these boards in some respects are more advanced than the whiteboard in the Zoom program. Methodological problems relate to the definition of forms and methods of lectures, practical and laboratory classes, as well as the semester exam. Our survey showed that 1) 78% of students perceive the lecture material better if the form of its presentation is similar to the traditional one; 2) 71% of students prefer to see mathematical expressions written using a Power Point presentation, in which a gradual step-by-step derivation of formulas is implemented. In order to control students' work at the beginning of each online lecture we conduct an express test control of the knowledges of the previous one, and at the end we offered to make a copy of their synopsis and save it in Google Classroom. Students’ grades for the test and synopsis were taken in account when setting the total rating score. Laboratory exercises were carried out using the created virtual labs. To create visual representations of the virtual models, we prepared short videos that illustrate the main stages of work. The most difficult was to conduct the exam in a distance form. We used the test form of exam. To avoid the exchange of correct answers to test items each student dot individual tasks. To reduce the possibility of communicating with strangers during the exam, students performed tasks with the video camera and microphone turned on. All of this reduced the likelihood of academic integrity of the students. Key words: physics, synchronous distance learning, lecture webinar, labs, exam.

The problem in this study is: How to describe the difficulty of students working on triangular problems after the provision of cooperative learning. The goal to be achieved in this study is: getting an overview of the difficulty of students working on triangular problems after the provision of cooperative learning to tamansiswa Diski junior high school students. The population in this study is a student of class VII Tamansiswa Diski Junior High School who is actively enrolled which numbers 148 people. The determination of the sample of authors was done in a random way as many as 30 people taken from class VII students. The data collection tool used in this study is: The test that provides mathematical problems about the triangle as much as 10 points of the test form problem is an "essay test". Before this test is established as an instrument in the data collection in this study, it is first piloted to non-sample, to find out the validation of the test, the reliability of differentiating power and the difficulty level of the test. From the results of the discussion, the research conclusion was obtained that after the provision of cooperative learning the difficulties of students working on triangular problems can be overcome. The difficulties experienced by tamansiswa diski junior high school students are students: less able to distinguish the shapes of triangles, unable to use formulas, do not know the formula to find the circumference of the triangle, and do not use arcs.

Infantilization of the youth: A methodological approach to measurement

Modernity, characterized by informatization, globalization and unprecedented acceleration of all social processes, significantly differs from the reality that existed several decades ago, which affects new generations whose lifestyle differs completely from their parents. The period of growing up has changed, and society faces the challenges of infantilization which, on the one hand, is determined by various factors (media, virtualization, etc.) and, on the other hand, increases the impact of these factors. The article considers theoretical foundations of the concept social infantilism, its fundamental differences from the psychological interpretation of infantilism, its manifestations in the contemporary Russian society, and some methodological approaches to its measurement. The article presents the details of the development and testing of the sociological methodology for measuring the level of social infantilism. The development of this methodology consisted of several stages: at the first stage, a questionnaire was designed and tested on a group of students (30 respondents), then the projective technique collage was used for validation on two mini-groups of students - with maximum and minimum indicators of infantilism. At the final stage, the corrected questionnaire was tested on a representative sample of the RUDN University students (N = 550). Social infantilism can be diagnosed in one of the spheres - political, economic, everyday life, family relations and ideological views - or as a generalized phenomenon (present in all spheres). The developed method was validated in the test form and can be used in educational institutions.

A-126 One Versus Two or More Head Injuries: A Comparison of Cognitive Performance and Emotional Correlates

Objective The current study compares performance on measures of executive functioning in individuals with a history of 2 or more mTBI versus those with a single documented mTBI. Specific interaction with emotional distress was explored. Method A database from neuropsychological assessment of individuals noting deficits following head injury including 273 individuals provided a sample of 174 males, 98 females (one case missing data); mean age = 21.82 years; mean education = 10.16 years. Executive functioning was measured using the Trails Making Test Form B (TMT-B), Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (DKEFS) Design Fluency, and Semantic Fluency instruments. Emotional distress was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results MANCOVA was employed to determine the effect of multiple head injuries versus one upon cognitive performance after controlling for depression and anxiety. Group differences between those with one versus 2 or more mTBI were present (Wilk’s η = 0.907, F (3, 125) = 4.256, p = 007, Partial η2 = 0.093). Significant differences were not noted with regard to emotional distress (BAI, p = 0.97 l BDI, p = 0.87). Between subject effects identified significant differences between groups in performance on DKEFS Design Fluency (p = 0.05) and Semantic Fluency (P = 0.04), while significant groups differences were not evident Trailmaking Test B performance (P = 0.20). Conclusion Overall, those who had previous concussions performed better on measures of executive functioning. Measures of emotional functioning were not a significant covariate of cognitive performance. Implications and limitations of the current study will be discussed.

Influence of Printing Substrate on Quality of Line and Text Reproduction in Flexography

This study characterizes and compares the parameters of the quality reproduction of fine elements in flexography on coated and uncoated paper as well as on OPP film (oriented polypropylene). A monochrome test form was created and printed using cyan UV ink. The analysis of results confirms the importance of interaction between the printing substrate and ink; it also indicates identical line and text deformations on the print. Quality reproduction on coated paper is higher in relation to OPP film for all the research parameters. The ink penetrates significantly more and with more irregularity into the pores and throats of the uncoated paper, which results in less homogeneous elements, and in such way that it loses its original shape. In coated paper and OPP film, the ink spreads more on the substrate area which gives it a significantly more homogeneous shape. However, due to the surface spread of the ink, the biggest changes in the size of fine elements are noticeable in the OPP film. The scientific contribution of this paper is based on the comparison of print quality parameters of fine elements, which can contribute to the optimization of the production process and quality of the final graphical product.
