Training Effectiveness of Films Developed Using Systems Approach to Training Principles.

Abstract

The Oxygen Breathing Apparatus Type A-3 film (OBA film) and Damage Control Petty Officer film (DCPO film) were evaluated for training effectiveness. Three different recruit groups (Exp 1, Exp 2, and Con groups) were used to evaluate each film. The Exp 1 groups were pre-tested for entrance level knowledge, viewed the film, and received a post-test to determine whether the knowledge level had improved. The Exp 2 groups were not pre-tested, but did view the film and received the post-test. The Con groups were pre- and post-tested but did not view the film. In addition, enlisted personnel with over two years of Navy experience who were attending a damage control familiarization course at a DC School were tested. These more experienced personnel were divided into two groups -- DC School Exp group and DC School Con group. The DC School Exp group was pre-tested, viewed the DCPO film, and then post-tested. The DC School Con group was pre- and post-tested, but did not view the DCPO film.
