 | This paper addresses and outlines issues that will drive requirements for future training ranges. In response, to Army Transformation, Army training range capabilities need to transform to synchronize with and conform to the Legacy, Interim, and Objective Force's training needs. A sustainable training range transformation strategy will consist of a long-term, integrated, systems approach to developing and achieving a robust training venue by simultaneously addressing operational, environmental, and economic issues. ... |

| Reading Ability, Readability, Motivation and Test Validity, |

|
 | According to a prevalent argument about occupational proficiency testing, multiple-choice tests have built-in sources of invalidity. One such source pertains to the reading competencies required in taking a multiple-choice test. The test, it is argued, requires reading competencies beyond those required by the job itself. Thus, one finds job incumbents whose job performance is outstanding but who cannot score well on a paper-and-pencil test. There is also a rather commonly ... |

Robert M. Smith; ARMY TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER FORT EUSTIS VA
|
 | The SQT is the US Army's major diagnostic instrument for evaluation of individual training and is an annual assessment of performance on 25 to 35 selected tasks. These tasks are selected by the service school which is proponent for each Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). However, there is little formal input from field units within this task selection process. The Computer Assisted Task Selection (CATS) system is a data driven technology ... |

Robert F. Eastman; ARMY TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER FORT EUSTIS VA
|
 | Supervisor ratings of overall job performance were correlated with the Skill Qualification Test scores of MOS 67N, utility helicopter mechanics. A high positive correlation (r = .74) was found for lower skill level (SL 1) soldiers. The correlation was significantly lower for SL 2 (r = .64) and SL 3 (r = .35) soldiers. The high positive correlation at SL 1 indicates that the SQT is a valid instrument for ... |

|
 | This goal of this research was to determine whether subjects completing a simplified version of a TEC lesson would differ in achievement or attitude from comparable subjects who completed a more complex version of the same lesson. Both lessons were in the conventional audiovisual format used for most TEC lessons. The audio part of the two versions was identical but the visuals on the revised filmstrip were simplified by such ... |
