مستخلص: The introduction of performance-oriented instructional procedures into Women's Basic Training (BT) at Fort McClellan and the revision of Army Training Program 21-121 to incorporate the philosophy and principles of performance-oriented training are described in the document. Results from a questionnaire regarding duties, activities, and attitudes of a representative worldwide sample of 1,573 first-tour enlisted women as reported by themselves and a representative sample of 156 of their supervisors provided data for the performance-oriented program development. The objectives and development of the questionnaire and program are discussed and questionnaire data is summarized. Major findings indicate that the majority of BT graduates have a high education level, find BT and subsequent assignments different from what they expected, and report a lack of correlation between BT-taught knowledge and assignment task requirements. Tables supplement the discussion. Appended materials takes up two-thirds of the document and include major briefings, locations surveyed, questionnaire and interview forms, questionnaire instructions, and results. This effort was undertaken as a part of the Army's current program to utilize increasing numbers of women in meeting its operational requirements, as well as an attempt to develop modern training technology in Women's BT.
