Training Maintenance Troops: A Study of Factors Affecting Airman Performance in a Learning Environment

Abstract

This report presents the findings of a recent study at the Port Hueneme Naval Station in CA, home of the technical school of Air Force Vehicle Maintenance. The results focus on three specific areas; student learning preferences, individual factors characterizing student performance, and a comparison of alternate training aids. The results indicate that the majority of maintenance troops seem to prefer learning through the kinesthetic method and kinesthetic learners appear to show the most improvement on course exams after training on the equipment.
