Human Behavior in Military Contexts

Human behavior forms the nucleus of military effectiveness. Humans operating in the complex military system must possess the knowledge, skills, abilities, aptitudes, and temperament to perform their roles effectively in a reliable and predictable manner, and effective military management requires understanding of how these qualities can be best provided and assessed. Scientific research in this area is critical to understanding leadership, training and other personnel issues, social interactions and organizational structures within the military. The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) asked the National Research Council to provide an agenda for basic behavioral and social research focused on applications in both the short and long-term. The committee responded by recommending six areas of research on the basis of their relevance, potential impact, and timeliness for military needs: intercultural competence; teams in complex environments; technology-based training; nonverbal behavior; emotion; and behavioral neurophysiology. The committee suggests doubling the current budget for basic research for the behavioral and social sciences across U.S. military research agencies. The additional funds can support approximately 40 new projects per year across the committee's recommended research areas. Human Behavior in Military Contexts includes committee reports and papers that demonstrate areas of stimulating, ongoing research in the behavioral and social sciences that can enrich the military's ability to recruit, train, and enhance the performance of its personnel, both organizationally and in its many roles in other cultures.

Basic Skills Assessment

Materials for Assessing Competence in Basic Skills

By: National Institute of Adult Education (England and Wales). Adult Literacy and Basic Skills Unit

This material provides an initial assessment procedure to help identify the level of basic skills competence of people entering education or training. It is based on Adult Literacy and Basic Skills Unit Standards that describe how and to what level of performance adults should be able to use communication and number skills. The material can be used in basic skills programs, further education, prisons, voluntary organizations, workplace training, and government-funded training programs. Notes for assessors describe the material and steps to take before, during, and after the assessment. Instruction sheets provide a set of instructions for carrying out a series of assessment tasks. Eleven series of tasks are provided: foundation level and stages 1 and 2 reading, foundation level and stages 1 and 2 oral, foundation level and stages 1 and 2 writing, and foundation level and stages 1 and 2 numeracy. The instruction sheets provide performance criteria, assessment guidelines, time allowance for completion of a task, script to use in conducting the assessment, and Next Steps which give suggested routes through the material. Linked to each assessment task is a task sheet to be completed by the student or trainee. Individual assessment charts to be completed during the assessment show how the students/trainee performed each individual task. A summary assessment chart allows the assessor to aggregate assessment results. (YLB)
