Description
Summary:Performance-oriented tests were used to diagnose deficiencies in job performance among Fleet personnel. Shipboard self-instructional materials were then individually prescribed to correct identified deficiencies. Testing and training programs were developed for three applications: (1) the submarine Sonar Technician operating the AN/BQR-20A, (2) the submarine Missile Technician maintaining the Missile Test and Readiness Equipment (MTRE Mk 7 Mod 2), and (3) the Boiler Technician operating and maintaining the 1200 PSI Steam Propulsion Plant. In the present application, Missile Technicians from 12 Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines were given a diagnostic pretest and then retested approximately 5 months later. Diagnostic testing was successful in detecting deficiencies of Fleet personnel on tasks related to the maintenance of MTRE. Neither feedback nor feedback plus training improved job performance.
