A-6E Systems Approach to Training. Phase I.

Abstract

This report describes one of four Phase I programs, namely the A-6E TRAM Instructional Systems Development (ISD) Program, established to evaluate the application of a Systems Approach to Training (SAT) in Naval aircraft programs. The research and development goals of this program were to: (a) evaluate a variety of ISD methods and procedures as applied to the aircrew training, (b) achieve a better understanding of the constraints and operating conditions that affect aircrew training, and (c) acquire cost, scheduling, and manpower data for future ISD planning. The operational goal was to design an A-6E TRAM aircrew training program. The approach used to achieve the above goals conformed basically to the ISD methodology. The report discussed the Task Analysis, the development of Specific Behavioral Objectives (SBOs), the selection of instructional media, and the formulation of Lesson Specifications. The role of the Subject Matter Expert (SME) is reviewed, as is the requirement for quantitative standards of performance. The operational aspects of the A-6E Training Program are addressed: program costs and manpower data are included. Specific media requirements and recommendations are presented. Generic descriptions of appropriate training devices are provided. The report includes a number of conclusions and recommendations and a 30-item reference section. (Author)
