Army Training Research: A Thirty-Five Year History with Implications for Educational Research and Development.

摘要

The focus of this study has been upon the organizations which have been, and are, involved in Army training research, and upon their relationships to one another and to the Army's training establishment. Four types of organizations, or organizations performing four types of functions, appear to be necessary and sufficient for the conduct and utilization of training research in an operating system: (1) an organization that has or can pose a problem whose solution would result in increased proficiency of human performance on the job, or an increased efficiency in training; (2) an organization that can perform the required research and development activities; (3) an organization that can support--with funds, materiel, and non-research manpower--the research and development activities; and (4) an organization that can act to cause implementation of a successful solution to the problem posed.
