Perception Survey. Staff and Faculty Development Programs.

Abstract

The purpose of this survey was to determine if the training programs conducted for personnel in staff and faculty positions adequately support their mission at the U.S. Army Aviation Center, Fort Rucker, AL. Personnel are adequately qualified to perform their jobs in most areas. Supervisory ratings of instructors' appearance, conduct, subject knowledge, self-improvement efforts, as well as overall ratings were all well above average. Weaknesses were found to exist in the performance of several tasks, particularly the following which were rated the lowest on 'Qualified and competent' by both employees and their supervisors: Prepare/revise criterion written/performance test outlines, performance tests, programmed texts, practical exercises, and other student materials. The majority of personnel responded that their organizations have a structured training program for providing on-the-job training. The majority of employees and supervisors responded that their organizations routinely schedule Staff and Faculty Development training. For the four major courses surveyed (ITC, ISD, CRI, CTLOW), both employees and supervisors rated importance of course content higher than they rated effectiveness of the training for preparing them to assume their duties.
