Transfer of Training Following Computer-Based Instruction in Basic Oscilloscope Procedures.
Abstract
As test equipment training becomes more individualized, the student usually has greater opportunity to experiment with the equipment he will be using on the job. Yet, for a variety of reasons, he may have to train on outmoded equipment or have limited exposure to the equipment. Computer-aided individualized instruction can overcome some of these problems. This method of training exposes the student to a wide range of situations where state-of-the-art equipment can be readily simulated. A program was developed for oscilloscope training utilizing the PLATO IV instructional system. Students trained by this method were compared with those trained in a traditional laboratory setting using an individualized workbook having the same objectives as the PLATO lesson. A performance test administered immediately following training indicated that the two groups had similar levels of overall skill, but differed in some subskill levels.
