Predictive Measures for the Achievement of Training Success in Air Force Technical Training.

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the predictive nature of a variety of measures for the achievement of training success at the Air Force Technical Training School, Chanute Air Force Base, Illinois. A sample of 1358 male and female airmen attending twelve technical training courses from 1 July 1981 to 15 February 1982 was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Final course grade served as the criterion of training success. Predictor variables included four aptitude indices and one intelligence score from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), seven biographical items, and four on-site instructional variables.
