Evaluation of a Videodisc Delivery System for Teaching Students to Troubleshoot the AN/VRC-12 Medium-Powered Radio Series.

Abstract

The objective of this test was to evaluate the training effectiveness and acceptability of the limited interactive consumer model videodisc player as a Training Delivery System in the MOS 31V10 Course, Tactical Communications System Operator/Mechanic. Specifically, random assignment was made of 235 trainees to two instructional groups: Seventy-two used the Videodisc Training Delivery System and 163 used the Slide-Tape Delivery System. Conclusions reached are that the Videodisc Training Delivery System was as equally or more effective, than the Slide-Tape Delivery System currently used. Keywords include: Videodisc Training Delivery System, Videodisc, Training Effectiveness, Training Efficiency, Slide-Tape System, Individual Learning Center (ILC), Self-Paced Instruction.
