76C Transitional Performance Aid: An Examination of Classroom Use

Abstract

This research examined (a) the adequacy of a job aid (the Transitional Performance Aid or TPA), (b)the sufficiency of the accompanying training materials, and (c) the reaction of the users, following a preliminary classroom introduction in the Equipment Records and Parts Specialist Course (MOS 76C). The two phase investigation indicated that students have little difficulty using the TPA, voluntarily use it for class work and examination, and desire to use it throughout the course and in the field. As a function of these determinations, the TFA has been implemented into the classroom with the intention of training the students in its application as a job aid. Keywords: Military occupational, Speciality, Army training.
