Literacy Skills and Requirements in Air Force Career Ladders.
Abstract
In a previous study (Mockovak, 1974b), a methodology for estimating the reading demands of training literature, as well as the average reading ability of groups of airmen, was demonstrated in five technical training areas. The methodology was designed to be objective, inexpensive, not overly time consuming, and simple enough to be accomplished by Air Force subject matter experts. In the present study, this methodology was applied to 56 career ladders by Air Force subject matter experts in an effort to determine: (1) the reading demands of different career ladders, (2) the average reading grade level of personnel in those ladders, and (3) the reading demands of different training materials (CDCs, TOs, and resident training literature).
