Training and Evaluation Outlines (T and EO): Usage and Scoring Method Preference for Task Steps and Sub-steps

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1075577 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A Training and Evaluation Outline T and EO describes the task, conditions, and standards for training and is the Army standard for training and evaluating individual and collective tasks. There is conflicting evidence on the extent to which T and EOs are used. This effort examined the frequency of T and EO use according to commission type officers and noncommissioned officers, training environment Combat Training Center versus Home Station, and Career Management Fields CMF. Performance on T and EO task steps and performance measures sub-steps are evaluated using GONOGO, a method that may not be sufficiently discriminative. In order to determine the acceptability of using a numeric scale, preferences for GONOGO versus a numeric scale were examined. The results indicate that frequency of T and EO use was bimodal falling in either 40 or 60. There was no strong preference for using GONOGO or a numeric scale for the task steps but a strong preference for using GONOGO for the sub-steps. The findings were the same regardless of commission type, training environment, and CMF.
