Abstract | The major purposes of the project were to determine the nature of the literacy problem in the Army by studying the literacy demands of Army jobs together with the literacy skills of Army personnel, and to develop a literacy training program to provide job-related-functional, literacy skills. Literacy research and development performed by HumRRO since 1968 for the Army is summarized in this paper. Literacy needs for several basic Army Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) are identified. The methodology used to evaluate the reading requirements for Army jobs is explained, together with the methodology of an experimental training program designed to produce a level of functional literacy appropriate to minimal MOS requirements. Numerous photographs, frequency distributions, graphs, and data tables are included for illustrative purposes. (KP) |
