Research on Utilization of Assessment Results and Methods. Final Technical Report.
Olmstead, Joseph A.; And Others
The Army has established an Assessment Center Pilot Program at The Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia. The purpose of the program is to determine the feasibility of assessment centers for the Army. The project described in this report was designed to contribute to two particular objectives of the pilot program. These objectives were (1) to identify potential uses of assessment results and techniques in accomplishment of the leadership development mission of the Infantry School and the Army, and (2) to develop ways of improving assessment procedures and methodology for use by the Army. To fulfill these objectives, four discriminable tasks were undertaken: (1) to investigate potential uses of assessment results; (2) to identify potential uses of assessment methods for training; (3) to develop procedures for training assessors to use observational and recording techniques; and (4) to develop a model for designing assessment exercises, or situational tests.
