Learning guidelines and algorithms for types of training objectives.

Training Procedures for Enhancing Reserve Component Learning, Retention, and Transfer

“…Aagard and Braby (1976), for example, suggest' that guidance procedures should be used at the start of training and then withdrawn later in a way similar to that recommended above for the use of augmented feedback. That is, guide or prompt trainee responses early in training and later remove the guides to match the level of inherent cues present in the operational task.…”

“…Because guidance promotes learning (or at least performance during training) and discovery promotes transfer, the RC trainer should probably employ a combination of both procedures (Aagard & Braby, 1976;Brooks & Dansareau, 1987;Mouly, 1982). Aagard and Braby (1976), for example, suggest' that guidance procedures should be used at the start of training and then withdrawn later in a way similar to that recommended above for the use of augmented feedback.…”

“…Behavioral objectives work best when used by trainees as directions to iearn specific subsets of materials (Kaplan, 1975), and therefore, should be provided by the RC trainer at the beginning of training to promote maximum effectiveness (Aagard & Braby, 1976).…”

Development of Job Aids for Instructional Systems Development

“…Rather than providing actual help in performing the work, or even providing detailed how-to-do-it guidance, most of the existing aids may serve to reinforce or broaden the guidance provided in the ISD manuals. Aagard and Braby (1976) note the practical limitations in using their algorithms and guidelines for general purposes, "The task categories and related guidelines are not at a level that will accommodate any training setting." Briggs' handbook (1970) may also serve such a broad guidancte function.…”

A Comparison of the Human Performance Requirements for the M60A1 and M60A3 Tanks

“…A general methodology for deriving considerations regarding alternative instructional delivery systems is available from work reported by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group (see Braby , 1973;Aagard and Braby, 1976;Henry, Parrish , and Swope, 1975) for the US Navy . The technique was developed to provide the Navy training establishment with learning principles appropriate to Navy job tasks and to outline a method of choosing cost-effective instructional delivery systems that support the use of these learning principles…”
