An Examination of the Value of Demonstration Tapes for the Virtual Training Program.

Abstract

This report discusses the instructional value of the demonstration tapes associated with the Virtual Training Program (VTP) at Fort Knox, KY. This examination consists of reviewing research on demonstration materials and examining VTP participants' use of and opinions regarding these tapes. Findings from the observational learning literature and the assessments indicated that the demonstration materials would augment the VTP's training value. The literature review revealed that observational learning techniques can help the VIP participants develop their self-regulatory skills and sense of self-efficacy. The participants also felt that these tapes were useful, especially for familiarizing them with the learning situation.
