A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE RESULTS OF THREE DIFFERENT METHODS OF OPERATOR TRAINING

Abstract

A new type of operative training is described in its application to the mending of worsted cloth. The method resulted from the identification of the essential difficulty in mending as perceptual in nature but as not primarily dependent upon ‘ goad eyesight’ as normally understood. Special provision was accordingly made to en ah to trainees to master the perceptual task thoroughly. Results of this method were shown to be superior to those of the traditional ‘ stt-by-mo ’ and T.W.I, methods, both in an experimental training school and in industry.
