This paper summarizes the background, methodology and findings of initial efforts to improve our approach to training and assessing high-performance skills. High performance skills are those that require accurate and precise perceptual - motor coordination to achieve desired levels of expertise. We review and integrate key areas of knowledge related to skill acquisition and expertise, address strategies for teaching and assessing complex skills, and examine the use of technologies that enable precise recording of trainee performance. Instructional strategies are discussed to accelerate complex skill development, based upon learning principles and enhanced performance feedback. Developments in simulation training technologies, with performance monitoring capabilities, provide a means for studying and improving high performance skills. The US Army's Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) was designed to teach basic and advanced marksmanship skills, and can be used to monitor performance progress from novice to expert. In this paper, the EST was used as a test bed to explore possible training enhancements and performance assessment metrics for military rifle marksmanship training. Our study of marksmanship skill benefited from the emergence of precise instrumentation for digital recording of trainee performance. We used motion capture technology to define and to measure proper rifle shooting postural profiles associated with different levels of marksmanship expertise. Motion capture allowed us to model various levels of expertise, ranging from novice to expert, as a means to define skill differences. While results reported here are promising, further research and development in motion capture is needed in order to realize the full potential for the practical application of shooting profiles in the determination of skill levels and analysis of learner deficiencies during simulation training.

The book offers condensed summaries of twenty-three major skill acquisition and expertise development models presented by leading researchers during the last half a century of classic and new research. This book presents new researchers in learning, training, cognitive sciences, or education disciplines with a big picture starting point for their literature review journey. The book presents an easy-to-understand taxonomy of twenty-three models, giving new researchers a good bird’s eye view of existing models and theories. They can decide which direction to dig further. The reviews in this book are complemented with over 200 authentic sources, which a researcher read for a detailed and deeper dive and set the direction for further exploration. This book would also act as an essential reference for training & learning professionals and instructional designers to design research-based training curriculum to develop the skills of their staff. Chapter 1 of the book elaborates on how the processes of learning, skill acquisition, and expertise development are interwoven. Chapter 2 presents a classification system to categorize various models reviewed in the literature under five groups. Chapter 3 describes twelve models of skill and expertise acquisition which are represented in the form of stages used frequently in learning, training, and performance literature. The chapter also briefly discusses each model's implications toward developing the skills and expertise of a less proficient individual to a higher level of proficiency. Chapter 4 reviews practice-, time- or task-based models, which are theories or models suggesting that acquisition of knowledge & skills, development of expertise, and performance improvement is a function of nature of the practice, amount of time spent on the task and task type. Chapter 5 presents the factor-based models, suggesting the interplay of several factors that influence the acquisition of knowledge & skills, development of expertise, and performance improvement. Chapter 6 embarks on describing expert modeling-based models, suggesting modeling an expert through elicitation or guidance for the acquisition of knowledge & skills, development of expertise, and performance improvement. Chapter 7 covers some newer movements toward cognition-based models, which are theories or models focusing on mechanisms of cognitive learning for the acquisition of knowledge & skills, development of expertise, and performance improvement. Chapter 8 concludes the book by integrating views from various thought leaders to explain a famous staged skill acquisition model.

This book presents a research thesis of a large-scale study conducted with over 50 large organizations in 7 countries with 80 business leaders to understand how businesses speed up the proficiency of their employees to meet business challenges. The book describes a start-to-end research study that explored the concept of 'accelerated proficiency' of employees in organizations. The book is organized into five chapters. The book introduces the concept of accelerated proficiency in a business context in light of reviews of four decades of classic studies. The research methodology to identify sources, recruit participants, and the mechanism to collect as well as analyze data have been explained in detail. The book reveals six business practices implemented by organizations across the board that seem to make a major impact in shortening the time to proficiency of employees. Important observations and findings have been discussed as implications in regards to how organizations orchestrated six business practices as an input-output-feedback system to reduce the time-to-proficiency of the workforce. The book briefly explains how these six practices were implemented through a set of twenty-four strategies in various contexts. The concepts and findings discussed in this book contribute significantly to the body of knowledge on accelerated proficiency. In particular, the conceptual model and the framework developed in this study can be implemented across a range of contexts, business sectors, job types, and settings to reduce the time-to-proficiency of the workforce.

"This research compared the relative impact of two approaches for training Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM). One hundred and eighty four One-Station Unit Training (OSUT) infantry trainees (i.e., the experimental group) trained under a U.S. Army Reserve (USAR)-developed, device-based (i.e., the Beamhit Laser Marksmanship Training System LMTS) approach, and 202 infantry trainees (i.e., the control group) trained under the standard U.S. Army Infantry School BRM program of instruction. Results revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on shot grouping, weapon zeroing, and known-distance firing. No between-group differences were found, however, for record fire qualification scores or for performance during pop-up target engagement practice periods leading up to qualification. The implications of these findings for initial marksmanship training are discussed along with plans for follow-up USAR-sponsored research to assess (a) the impact of LMTS-based training on sustainment performance, and (b) the feasibility of using LMTS-based performance to predict live-fire qualification scores."--Stinet.

The UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) conducted research on assessment models and tools designed to support Naval distance learning (DL), with application to USMC marksmanship training. CRESST examined the role of cognitive and non-cognitive variables in the prediction of rifle marksmanship performance in a series of studies. The evidence suggests a knowledge component to shooting performance, and differences in knowledge of rifle marksmanship between participants' pre-classroom training and post-classroom training, between more experienced participants and less experienced participants, between high performers and low performers, and between higher aptitude and lower aptitude participants. Knowledge measures can predict record-fire scores moderately in less experienced samples, and when combined with other variables within the stages-of-skill-processing framework, can predict record-fire scores as well as scores from a rifle simulator.

Training systems for teaching marksmanship skills have existed since the invention of bows and arrows. Ammunition, rifles and instructors are expensive, weather conditions are not always suitable, and handling loaded firearms is a dangerous activity. Instructors and training systems developers have always sought to create better ways of conducting the training. Built upon the availability of low-cost personal computer technology, computer-based simulators for marksmanship training came into widespread use in the early 1990s. Such simulators have been adopted by almost every defense organization and law enforcement agency around the world and now simulators for training marksmanship skills is a multi-billion dollar industry, with more than $10 billion being invested in such infrastructure in the US alone, and possibly double or triple that in the rest of the world. With improvements and lowering of costs in sensor and computer technologies, growth is expected in marksmanship simulation technology for individuals and sporting organisations. Since the mid-1990s, the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in Australia, along with similar organisations in Canada, the USA and the UK, have conducted research in the field of evaluating marksmanship simulators. The purpose of this book is to capture and condense the knowledge that researchers have acquired about marksmanship simulation over the last two decades into a single volume to provide a valuable resource for practitioners, manufacturers and organisations that use marksmanship simulators. Although the book focuses on simulation for training of marksmanship skills, it also demonstrates how the lessons learned in marksmanship simulators can be extended to other types of tasks that require the training of fine psychomotor skills, including tasks such as welding, key-hole surgery, gunnery, and vehicle operations.

"This research provided an initial assessment of the impact on performance outcomes of providing additional time for Basic Rifle marksmanship (BRM) training in Basic Combat Training (BCT) and of integrating Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWG) and Combat Application Training Course (CAT-C) training techniques within two BCT Companies. The report provides a snapshot of how Soldiers retained marksmanship skills in association with the integration of AWG training techniques in BRM and the addition of one week to the BCT schedule. Results indicated that the new training techniques and additional training time did not significantly impact performance outcomes or BRM skill retention when compared to BRM performance of Soldiers trained using legacy techniques and less training time during BCT. Although sample and methodological considerations limit the generalizability of this research, it provides some essential insights into the initial integration of CAT-C/AWG training strategies and techniques within BCT at Fort Jackson."--DTIC.
