Instructional Approaches for Individualizing Basic Rifle Marksmanship Training. Task Report - Training Effectiveness Analyses Research

Abstract

Field tests such as the Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) Test and the Laser/Rimfire Test have produced results that suggest BRM training is a viable candidate for individualization. It is unclear, however, what instructional strategies and organizational mechanisms are appropriate for accomplishing this individualization. Accordingly, a requirement exists for identifying the appropriate strategies for individualizing marksmanship training. This report presents the results of a review of the educational and training literature with respect to the individualization of training and discusses candidate mechanisms for implementing such training. Key words include: Aptitude-Treatment Interaction; Learning Approaches; M16A1 Rifle; Psychomotor Learning; and Training Strategies.
