Alternative Models for Individualized Armor Training

Abstract

This report presents alternative generic models for the individualization of Armor training, along with a scheme for the classification and description of the instructional environments (contexts) of Armor training and a procedure for selecting alternative models for those environments and incorporating Instructional System Development (ISD) procedures. The classification scheme describes the contexts of instruction in terms of three fundamental dimensions: setting, focus of instruction, and time boundaries. Each context class is described in terms of the eight factors treated in the review and analysis of the literature: time available, instructional personnel, facilities, management, student population characteristics, course content/task types, instructional methods, and media/materials/devices. The sixteen alternative models of individualized instruction are built on four fundamental variables; instructional treatment, required proficiency, learning objectives, and time boundaries. Finally, the descriptions of context classes identify certain links between the context classes and the alternative models of individualized instruction.
