Traditionally, this ability has been developed through practical tasks performed in engineering laboratories and workshops. Practical classes, particularly in university settings, are usually assessed through written reports or short answer quizzes. However, these forms of assessment rely only on explicit written knowledge based on formal propositions. An alternative is to evaluate informal learning of tacit or implicit knowledge. This paper shows how practical intelligence tests provide a model for measuring implicit and tacit knowledge. Research reported in the paper demonstrates that practical intelligence tests can predict students' ability to diagnose and repair equipment faults better than conventional assessment scores. This paper describes the evaluation of this technique in an electronic engineering laboratory with a large enrolment first year introductory course. 2013-06-21T01:15:52Z 2013-06-21T01:15:52Z 2010-12-05 Working Paper p. 1-9 978-0-646-54610-0 http://www.researchgate.net/publication/236585017_Practical_Intelligence_Predicts_Learning_of_Diagnostic_and_Repair_Skills_in_Students http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/25977 en Proceedings of the 21st Annual Conference for the Australasian Association for Engineering Education University of Technology Sydney
