ADJUNCT TO SELF-STUDY FOR AIRCREW REFRESHER TRAINING UNDER OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS IN THE AIR DEFENSE COMMAND
Abstract
The paper is a report of the development and experimental comparison of a self-study technique with conventional classroom methods as a means of refresher training of Air Crews under operational conditions. The self-study technique consisted of (1) a comprehensive series of multiple-choice questions covering the subject matter with each question bearing reference to the page and paragraph of a manual containing the detailed information on which the question was based, (2) a punchboard by which students immediately determined whether their answer to each question was correct or incorrect, and (3) the manual to which students referred for information when they chose an incorrect answer to a question. The conclusions are: (1) the preparation and administration of the self-study technique is entirely within the capability of an operational squadron with only a minimum of guidance; (2) in the operational setting, the self-study technique is superior to conventional classroom methods in its effectiveness as a means of refresher training; and (3) students favor the self-study method for refresher training.
