Trainee & Instructor Attitudes Toward One Station and Two Station Initial Entry Training

摘要

Trainees and instructors were queried as to their attitudes toward two initial entry training strategies (IET). The two training strategies employed were One Station Unit Training (OSUT) and Two Station Training (TST). OSUT was conducted solely at Ft. Benning, Ga. TST was conducted at two locations with the first seven weeks of training at Ft. Knox, Ky. and the last five weeks at Ft. Benning, Ga. Analysis of results showed that TST trainee attitudes improved throughout training, and that by the end of IET TST trainees had significantly more positive attitudes than did OSUT trainees. Instructor results were mixed. However, OSUT instructors indicated they felt that the length of time between cycle breaks was too long. (Author)
