Assessment of Task Proficiency in Air Force OJT

Abstract

An OJT task proficiency assessment system was developed and tried out in the Air Force OJT environment. The Task Evaluation Form system includes development procedures which when applied to a specific task allow Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to generate evaluation instruments. The resulting instruments, called Task Evaluation Forms, accurately and completely depict the critical aspects of task performance. The Task Evaluation Forms can be used by OJT supervisors to detect errors in task performance and derive end scores and pass/fail decisions which reflect observed performance.
