abstract: Predicting and assessing learning outcomes through the use of behavioral objectives is increasing in programs of radiologic technology. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists has made available an instrument for evaluating student clinical performance and by examining the assumptions underlying this instrument we may better understand the theoretical basis upon which criterion-referenced evaluations are founded.
