Abstract
Abstract A CONTROL MICRO-DIDACTOMETER Abstract of the Disclosure A pocket didactometric apparatus for processing answers given to each question of a multiple-choice questionnaire comprises a keyboard for the introduction of coded question references and a selected-answer code, and a pre-recorded truth table in which the answer codes are ordered in successive rows which are deduced by circular permutation from one question to another. The row of a correct answer in the truth table is determined automatic-ally from the coded question reference. A qualitative value of notation is determined by means of a logic-circuit interface module from the row of the selected-answer code with respect to the row of the correct-answer code in the truth table. At least three different values are assigned respectively to at least three proposed answers to each question in the questionnaire.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
What is claimed is: I.A method for processing and evaluating answers given to questions of a multiple choice questionnaire , assigning at least three different values to respectively at least three proposed answers to each question in the questionnaire, assigning a series of answer codes to said proposed answers for each question,assigning a coded reference to each question in the questionnaire in relation with the order of the answer codes in the series corresponding to progressive values of the proposed answers, providing a prerecorded truth table in which the answer codes of all possible series are ordered by circular permutation and successive rows corresponding to said different values, comparing the reference of a question being answered by a learner, with said truth table to determine the row of predetermined correct answer for said question, and comparing the row of the answer code of a selected answer, selected by the learner for said question, and the row of the correct answer in the truth table and determining therefrom a qualitative value of notation for said answer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A pocket didactometric apparatus for processing and evaluating answers given by a learner to each question of a miltiple-choice question-- naire wherein at least three different values are assigned to respectively at least three proposed answers to each question and a digital coded reference is indicated in association to each question and a series of answer codes are indicated for the different answers to each question, said apparatus comprising a truth table circuit ordering said answer codes by circular permutation in successive rows corresponding to said different values, keyboard means for introduction by the learner of the reference of a selected question and the answer code of a selected answer for said question, means for determining automatically from said selected question reference the row of a predetermined correct answer to said selected question in said truth table, means for comparing in said truth table the row of the code for the selected answer to said correct answer row, and means for calculating from said comparison and said different values a qualitative value of notation for said selected answer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
An apparatus according to claim 2, comprising three modules incorporates in a multikeyboard casing said modules comprising an input module,a hybrid keyboard for controlling a televisualization or peritelevision terminal and for introducing said question references in digital form and optionally a user reference and a docimological keyboard for introducing a digital code of said selected answer, said docimological keyboard being provided with a number of selection keys corresponding to the number of possible answers to each question of the questionnaire; and a logic circuit interface module comprising said truth table, said means for determining rows of answers and said evaluation means, and an output module for visual display of said calculated qualitative value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
An apparatus according to claim 3, comprising means for activating a single circuit among different logic circuits of said interface module, assigned respectively to each one of the possible rows for the answers to each question, said single circuit being selected as a function of the correct answer row determined in the interface module from said truth table and from the digital reference of said selected question.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
An apparatus according to claim 4 comprising means for activating a single circuit along different control circuits of the output module which are respectively assigned to each one of the possible qualitative values equal in number to the possible answers to each question, said single circuit being selected as a function of said selected logic circuit and of the selected answer code introduced by said selection keys.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising means for displaying the row of the correct answer in said truth table for said selected question.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
An apparatus according to claim 3 wherein said output module comprises means for displaying the qualitative values of notation for the selected answers to successive questions, a device for recording and storing the results ,and a system for logical control of remotely controlled data -processing means using logical controlled data delivered by said modules.
