Front-End Analyses of Three Navy Electrical/Electronics Technical Schools in the Model Schools Program
Abstract
Front-end analyses were conducted at three electrical/electronics Model A schools. Structured interviews identified aspects of A school training that impact on student performance. These interviews with administrators, faculty, and students provided information about: (1) facilities, (2) instructor preparation and performance, (3) training methods, materials, and methodologies, and (4) student abilities, motivation, and performance deficiencies. High failure-rate tests and test items and the uncommon vocabulary words associated with high failure-rate test items were identified and documented for segments of the course associated with deficiencies in student performance. Analysis of responses to a Study Factors Survey associated a variety of study factors with test performance. The five study factors with the greatest number of significant correlations with achievement scores were Competition, Concentration, Memorization, Motivation, and Questioning.
