Curriculum assessment with critical incidents

Abstract

Training improvement was sought from a Junior Officer Training Requirements Checklist sent to 340 high officials of destroyer-type vessels. The checklist had 10 forms, each with about 100 incidents. A "time expectancy for satisfactory performance" was determined for each incident with high reliability. "The findings indicate that the new ensign most frequently and most immediately will be called upon to draw on background relevant to human relations, leadership, and personnel administration skills; technical skills are expected to be developed later."
