Book Description
The purpose of this examine the Training and Evaluation Outline (T&EO) data base for utility as a performance measurement system. Previous research bad determined that the data base was of limited value for making empirical analyses of the joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) performance data. Based on recommendations from the previous findings JRTC changed the performance measurement system. The changes included the introduction of a five-point rating scale and a reduction in the number of rated items. The current research was conducted to determine whether these additions increased the utility of the T&EO data base as a feedback and performance measurement system. T&EO data were analyzed at battalion task force company and platoon levels for nine rotations at the JRTC. It was found that the T&EO data base still lacks the reliability required to provide useful feedback to units or to provide researchers with useful information on unit trends, although tasks differed statistically the usefulness from a practical standpoint is limited because the range of scores is too narrow. Potential users of the data base are cautioned not to make conclusions based solely on statistical significance. Recommendations to improve the data include reducing the rating categories to more general levels and placing a greater emphasis on the importance of a qualify performance measurement system. A method to reduce the number of rating categories using subject mater experts was introduced as one way to improve the performance measurement system.

The Joint Readiness Training Center's Training and Evaluation Outline Data Base: Preliminary Assessment

Book Description
The purpose of this research was to determine the usefulness of Training and Evaluation Outline (T and EO) data from unit rotations at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) as a means of determining unit performance. Infantry platoons and companies from five unit rotations were examined. Analyses included performance comparisons of both platoons and companies and a detailed examination of four selected tasks. Unexpected patterns in the data raised questions about the accuracy of the ratings (e.g., possible rater bias). Several critical errors in the data base were also discovered. These errors make the data unsuitable for use in determining training focus. The author concluded that changes in the data base are needed before it can be used to document unit performance. Through joint efforts by researchers and observer/controllers, the data collection effort could be improved. Additionally, followup efforts must take place to reduce possible rater biases and to ensure data entry quality control.
