Abstract

A study was conducted to (1) establish the current status of Individualized Instruction (II) in the Navy and other services, (2) identify the factors influencing its effectiveness, (3) identify present or potential problem areas, and (4) recommend strategies/policies to improve II in Navy technical training. The major conclusion of the study was that the Naval Education and Training Command should continue to use II in Navy technical training. Specific recommendations for the improvement of II are provided in the areas of management information systems, training of instructors and managers, terminology, student-instructor incentives, cost benefit analyses, and further study requirements.
