Duncan N. Hansen · 1973
Abstract : The report concludes Phases 2 and 3 of Air Force research on the application of adaptive instructional models (AIM) to individualized technical training. Phase 1 research concluded with a recommendation to employ five state-of-the-art AIMs: (1) Drill and practice, (2) Concept acquisition, (3) Complex tutorial, (4) Algorithm regression, and (5) Dynamic programming. Two additional models were analyzed and recommended: Natural language processing and Automaton models. Findings related to the simulation of three adaptive models and a user's guide for the models simulated are provided in the present report. Additionally, the report includes applied recommendations and methods for model validation. (Modified author abstract)
