A Description of Selected Non-Cognitive Training Outcomes for Recruits at Navy Recruit Training Centers.
Petry, John R.; Bowman, Harry L.
From April 16, 1987 through September 1, 1987, personnel from the Bureau of Educational Research and Services of Memphis State University (Tennessee) and Navy research team members from each of the Recruit Training Centers conducted a study that focused on learning outcomes of recruit training. The foci of the study were the Recruit Training Centers at Great Lakes, Illinois; Orlando, Florida; and San Diego, California, where a total of 596 recruits from 8 companies were involved in the 10-week data collection phase of the project. Hundreds of other recruits from numerous other companies, designated as cross-sectional, were involved in the study during the same time period. Data were gathered via personal data records, a list of recruit training outcomes developed by the Navy team members, and 11 other instruments. These other instruments covered barracks compartment watchstanding, free time activities, informal conversation, the recruit training interview protocol, physical training, nightly routine, recruit petty officer ratings, behavioral problems reported to the chief petty officer, and sick calls. The findings are reported on responsibility and reliability, accountability, obedience, teamwork, pride, self-discipline, goal-setting, perseverance, physical fitness, system manipulation, coercion, and competitiveness. Twelve data tables are included. (TJH)
