Test and Evaluation of Training Extension Course (TEC).

Abstract

The project was intended primarily to evaluate the effectiveness of a Training Extension Course (TEC) as a means of increasing the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) proficiency of Army personnel. TEC (utilizing sound/slide as the basic media for 56 lessons) was implemented by the Combat Arms Training Board. Training material relevant to MOS 11B40 (Light Weapons Infantryman) was developed by various departments within the U.S. Army Infantry School and distributed to Active Army and National Guard Units. Among the major factors influencing the outcome of the TEC evaluation were: command emphasis, ongoing training programs, verbal ability, and uneven quality and distribution of certain TEC lessons within a particular MOS 11B40 Evaluation test area.
