Effectiveness of Job Training Materials Based on Three Format Models: A Field Evaluation

摘要

The study evaluated instructional materials designed according to three format models each responsive to a comprehensive set of learning principles. The format models were from the larger set of format models in the Navy's Procedures for Instructional Systems Development (NAVEDTRA 110A). The selected models were designed to support the development of materials to teach (1) recalling facts about equipment, (2) applying rules and regulations, and (3) classifying objects and signals. Materials based on these format models were experimentally compared with Programmed Instruction and Traditional Text materials. The evaluation was conducted at the Quartermaster School, Service School Command, Naval Training Center, Orlando. The materials taught information and skills related to navigation lights, one part of the International Rules of the Road. (Author)
