Download or read book Army Training Technology Transfer A Systems Model written by Jon S. Freda and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovations in training technology must be transferred from the researcher to the user to be effective. This system concept paper presents a framework for the establishment of an Army training technology transfer program, as well as suggestions to improve the acceptance and use of training research products. Training technology transfer is defined as the process by which research results become implements of useful change in operational training. The user can be civilian or military, functionally involved at levels from high-level review to the trainer in the field. The systems model developed here uses a linear approach to describe the four steps of technology transfer in the Army: analysis of requirements; research, development, test, and evaluation of solutions; dissemination of findings; and institutionalization. Within these steps, specific issues include assessment of military needs, consideration of the appropriateness of current RDT & E funding, user acceptance of new products, and the transition from innovation to policy, as well as prediction methodology and recommendations for ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and feedback. Recurring throughout the transfer process are issues of sponsorship and the self-renewal capability of the research product.
Download or read book Training Technology Transfer Process and Guidelines written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a set of guidelines for implementing a new training technology in an Army school environment. In an effort to improve the technology transfer process, the Army has established Training Technology Field Activities (TTFAs), a partnership among the Army Research Institute (ARI), the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and Army Service Schools to facilitate training technology transfer. The guidelines present the activities necessary for successful training technology transfer using the TTFA team as the vehicle for implementation. The guidelines divide the transfer process into five phases. Each phase is further divided into three stages, with a decision point at the end of each stage. Within each stage is a set of activities that lead to the decision point. For each activity, a set of roles and responsibilities are identified and the major organizations involved in the transfer process are assigned these roles and responsibilities.
Download or read book Facilitation of University Technology Transfer Through a Cooperative Army University Industry Program written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following paper presents two university based programs to facilitate technology transfer from universities to the Army and Industry. First, through Army technology transfer centers for applied engineering training and consulting, and second in assisting and expanding university technology transfer incubator programs. These programs would require minimal new funding by the Army, being based upon co-funding and support from industry, universities and venture capital groups. The programs would offer the following five benefits to the Army and private industry: provide both the Army and industry with an applied engineering program and the training for new engineers and researchers, serve as an information resource for both the Army and industry on new technologies, provide industry with both advanced knowledge and laboratory resources, provide management and marketing support for small technology firms, and expand the base of possible new technologies for inclusion in Army systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on the adoption process in the transfer of Army training technology from the researcher to the user. The training product chosen for this investigation was the Training Extension Course (TEC) program. A two- part survey questionnaire was completed by 111 Army participants attending TRADOC/FORSCOM Training and Evaluation Workshops. The questionnaire requested attitudinal and usage information relating to the adoption of the Training Extension Course (TEC) program by unit training managers. Sources of TEC-related information were matched with the awareness, acceptance, and utilization stages of the adoption process to help understand the dissemination activity within training technology transfer. The attitudinal responses were factor analyzed and, with selected biographic information, were entered in a regression analysis to assess the utility of these measures as predictor variables of TEC utilization. Two major findings emerged. First, the acceptance (PERSUADE stage) of the TEC program is influenced predominantly by internal sources of information (e.g., work environment), while the initial awareness (INFORM stage) and later utilization of TEC are influenced by internal and external sources (support groups, briefings, etc.). Second, prior familiarity with TEC is a better predictor of TEC usage than are attitudinal measures taken from the innovation literature (for this particular sample).

Download or read book Do We Give It to Them and What Happens If We Do Issues Concerning Technology Transfers written by Roy L. Tisdale and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a technologically advanced nation provides advanced technology to a much less advanced nation's military? Numerous political and diplomatic considerations go into the decision to provide the technology, but once the decision is made, military leaders somewhere will find themselves dealing with the process and its effects. This paper analyzes some of the considerations for developing the plan of implementation, training and sustainment of new technology in the hands of less technologically developed militaries. The analysis divides the considerations into the categories of: capabilities (how well the country's infrastructure can sustain the new technology), foundations (the academic environment in the host country), and traditions (how culture might impact adopting new technology). Armed with this understanding, leaders charged with transferring new technology, training indigenous forces, or working with coalition forces with newly acquired technology should be better prepared to deal with the unique challenges the recipient military may face.
Download or read book Contributions of the U S Army Research Institute to the Training Technology Field Activity Aberdeen written by Angelo Mirabella and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes ARI's efforts to develop training guidelines for improved acquisition, retention, and transfer of vehicle maintenance skills. The need for such guidelines has been documented in 10 major studies since 1964, including 4 by ARI. The results of these studies are also summarized. The studies show that performance failure rates for diagnostic, remove/replace, and adjustment tasks are very high for both novice and experienced vehicle repairers. For example, the false removal rate (good parts mistakenly removed) is about 42% of all removals. The results of the Training Technology Field Activity (TTFA) projects summarized include various recommendations and guidelines for improving the training of vehicle repairers. One set of recommendations, for example, suggested ways to immediately improve the 63W10 course at the Ordnance School. The recommendations emerged from an onsite review of the entire 16-week course given to 63W10s at Aberdeen. One set of guidelines dealt with how to produce effective vugraphs for classroom instruction. Another set derived from a review of scientific literature on training provided general principles on how to develop effective instruction principles. These results can provide a partial springboard for future research, development, and training technology transfer under a continuing TTFA program at the Ordnance school. Keywords: Skill retention; Training cost effectiveness; Forgetting; Training effectiveness; Skill decay. (sdw).

This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities of the Department of Defense (DOD) and its contractors in manufacturing, testing, maintaining, and disposing of military equipment make up a significant portion of the industrial processes conducted in the United States. As is the case with the commercial industries, some of these activities, such as metal plating, have resulted in industrial pollution and environmental contamination. With increasing environmental regulation of such processes in recent decades, defense facilities have been faced with growing compliance issues. Department of Defense efforts to manage, correct, and prevent these problems have included the establishment of the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE) under the management of the U.S. Army Industrial Ecology Center (IEC). The National Research Council's Committee to Evaluate Transfer of Pollution Prevention Technology for the U.S. Army was formed to identify major barriers to the transfer of pollution prevention technologies and to recommend pathways to success. To address the study objectives, the committee (1) reviewed the NDCEE's technology transfer activities, (2) examined efforts to transfer technology in four areas, two of which were identified at the outset by the NDCEE as successful and two of which were identified as unsuccessful, and (3) identified opportunities for improving the transfer of pollution prevention technologies to maintenance and rework facilities in the Department of Defense and to industrial manufacturing facilities performing defense-related operations.

Book excerpt: "This report examines the application of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for use in training a complex skill during the Field Artillery Captains Career Course. Based on a technology transfer agreement between the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and the U.S. Army Research institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, an ITS originally developed for the Navy was adapted for use in a sand table exercise. The exercise required students to deploy multiple launch rocket system assets during a reconnaissance and selection of position task. The task was conventionally taught using miniature replications of vehicles and launchers on a large table of sand. An ITS version of the exercise, called the Virtual Sand Table, replicated the training with the added advantage of informative feedback and computer-based coaching during the exercise. A comparison group (n=209) used the conventional sand table and the treatment group (n=105) used the Virtual Sand Table during a four-hour training exercise. Results, as measured by a hands-on performance test, indicated superior performance by the Virtual Sand Table treatment group, with an effect size of just over one standard deviation."--Stinet.

Book excerpt: "This document provides a listing of findings and issues resulting from an overview of current Army institutional training and, from the perspective and constraints of Army training, an overview of current learning theory and science. Findings and issues are categorized as "policy issues" and "research issues." Policy issues, such as training scheduling and availability or quality of training technology, are presented as items with relatively straightforward, direct potential solutions that can be analyzed and considered for adoption by Army institutional training management. Research issues, such as modifying training to address far transfer or integrating problem-centered instructional approaches into Army training, are presented as items with no direct solutions and that are suitable for further investigation, ranging from basic research in training and education to development and assessment of prototype Army training and education products."--DTIC.
