Principles of Training in Marine Corps Task Analysis. Training Manual I. Evaluation of the Marine Corps Task Analysis Program. Technical Report No. 7.

This is the first in a series of five training manuals developed for use by the U.S. Marine Corps Office of Manpower Utilization (OMU) in its Task Analysis (TA) program. It is designed for trainers of OMU staff members assigned to the TA program, a research effort requiring interpersonal and research competence. Objectives of the manual are: (1) to recommend procedures and training materials for minimizing time required to orient and train new TA team members, (2) to increase the period of time new staff members will be productive on a TA team by shortening the indoctrination and training period, and (3) to upgrade skills for increasing the effectiveness and productivity of experienced or new members to TA teams. The initial section discusses individual competencies required for TA and qualifications for TA research. Motivation for training and learning is reviewed and recommendations to stimulate learning are made. Dimensions of the training problem are outlined and include determining the training content and method and evaluating the training. The final section discusses the skills required to support team performance in TA. A selected 6-item annotated bibliography is included to supplement the manual. (Author/WL)
