Numerical Skills of Navy Students: An Evaluation of a Skill Development Workbook

摘要

In recent years, basic skills training for enlisted Navy personnel has become an increasing necessity. Reading, verbal language, and mathematics instruction have been addressed in various programs designed for recruits, general detail sailors, and technical training qualified personnel. The current emphasis on basic skills training is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The purpose of this paper is to report on a field test of the numerical skills workbook that was conducted with enlisted Navy personnel at the Recruit Training Command in Orlando, Florida. Information will be provided on the subjects, data sources, implementation procedures, and results. Background information will be presented in a description of the developmental activities.
