Describes the major features of the systems approach developed by ITRO with emphasis on the navy training evaluation plan proposed to ensure quality control, as well as an assessment of the adequacy of the training through a careful study of the proficiency of the trained man. (VT)

Based on a state-of-the-art analysis of Army training, this report was the initial step in an effort to systematically improve the training in the combat arms and ultimately the entire Army. This study found that a comprehensive set of procedures was needed to provide for the development of effective training and for assessment of the training's…

The document is the fourth of a five-part series focusing in minute detail on the processes involved in the formulation of an instructional systems development (ISD) program for military interservice training that will adequately train individuals to do a particular job. Inputs, procedures, and outputs for Phase IV (Implement) and Phase V…

The manual presents a technology of instructional design and a model for developing and conducting efficient and cost effective Air Force instructional systems. Chapter 1 provides an overview of Instructional System Development (ISD). Chapters 2-6 each focus on a step of the process: analysis of system requirements; definition of…

Features articles on topics related to use of expert systems for training: machine intelligence effectiveness in military systems applications; automated maneuvering board training system; intelligent tutoring system for electronic troubleshooting; technology development for intelligent maintenance advisors; design of intelligent computer assisted…

A system designed to assist training managers or evaluators in increasing the effectiveness of military training programs has been developed, tested, and refined. The Training Program Evaluation (TPE) system offers advantages over traditional approaches of assessing program effectiveness. TPE involves the direct observation of training and testing…

Computer-based instructional programs in the affective and communication skills areas incorporating some of the results of an earlier research and development project were implemented and evaluated in a Recruit Training Command. The programs involved the use of a stand-alone computer-based system for evaluating and training recruit company…

Research explored methods of providing a coherent framework for the Instructional Systems Development (ISD) model which would promote better system evaluation, internal communications and student testing. Lists of critical tasks for two Air Force specialties were compiled and multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis employed to…

The Air Force conducted this study for two purposes: (1) to define the system of Air Force On-the-Job Training (OJT); and (2) to prepare a set of functional specifications for an integrated, base-level OJT evaluation and management system with linkages to the Major Commands and Air Staff. The study was conducted in four phases. During the first…

School districts have begun examining the feasibility of, and in some cases are developing and implementing automated systems for, managing and evaluating instructional programs. This paper describes and analyzes the issues and problems that emerged over the course of three projects--a large suburban school in the West, a consortium of five small…
