AN INVESTIGATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF NAVY SHIPFITTER TRAINING FOR GROUP IV PERSONNEL,

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of providing Navy Class A Shipfitter School training for Mental Group IV personnel. The achievement of 14 Group IVs was compared with that of 32 regular input personnel in the same 15-week class. Research data were obtained from service records, pretraining and course achievement tests, questionnaires, and interviews with instructors. The course achievement of the Group IV personnel was significantly poorer than that of the regular students and was marginal with respect to the minimum course standards. The performance of the Group IVs was particularly inferior on the course written examinations. Statistical analyses of the relationships between pretraining variables and course achievement criteria also were performed. It is recommended that no additional Group IV personnel be assigned to Shipfitter training unless the implementation of specified modifications in instructional procedures and selection criteria appears to be practicable.
