Performance-oriented tests were used to diagnose deficiencies in job performance among Fleet personnel. Self-instructional training materials, designed for shipboard use, were then individually prescribed to correct identified deficiencies. Testing and training programs were developed for three applications: (1) the submarine Sonar Technician operating the AN/BQR-20A, (2) the submarine Missile Technician maintaining the Missile Test and Readiness Equipment, and (3) the Boiler Technician operating and maintaining the 1200 PSI Steam Propulsion Plant. This report describes the AN/BQR-20A application in which Sonar Technician Teams from 12 FBM submarines were given a diagnostic pretest and then retested approximately 5 months later. STs from four submarines were assigned to each of three experimental groups: (1) a Control Group in which the participants were given feedback on the pretest in terms of an overall percentage score, (2) a Feedback Group in which the members were given both an overall percentage score and a written outline indicating their specific weaknesses, (3) a Feedback + Training Group in which the members were given the same type of information as the Feedback Group but were assigned specific remedial training.
