The Applicability of the ISD 4-Factor Model of Job Analysis in Identifying Task Training Priority in Nine Technical Military Occupational Specialties

摘要

The object of the research was to assess the applicability of the Instructional Systems Development (ISD) job analysis procedures to nine technical aviation maintenance military occupational specialties (MOS). Job analysis questionnaires were developed for each of the nine aviation maintenance MOS's. The questionnaires consisted of several background items and a list of tasks performed in the pertinent MOS. Research teams administered the questionnaires to groups of job incumbents and supervisors at numerous CONUS and overseas installations. About one third of the incumbents and supervisors in each of the nine MOS's completed the questionnaires. Job incumbents rated their applicable tasks on a Relative Time Spent Performing scale. Supervisors rated all their MOS tasks on four scales: Task Learning Difficulty, Consequences of Inadequate Performance, Immediacy of Task Performance, and Type of Training. (Author)
