Self-Paced Instruction in a Cognitively Oriented Skills Course: Supplyman, MOS 76Y10.

Abstract

As part of the Army's adoption of performance-oriented instruction in Army Training Centers, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using self-paced instruction without programed texts in a clerical and computational skills course. Course organization and management, and effective instruction techniques for the conduct of self-paced training were the principal areas of study. The Supplyman Course (MOS 76Y), a seven-week course conducted at the U.S. Army Training Center, Fort Ord, California, was selected for the experiment. Data were collected on approximately 135 baseline (lock-step) students and 200 self-paced students.
