| Abstract | Currently, there is 'concern about the quality of Navy training. This concern is best exemplified.by the-present debate, over the adequacy of "self-pfcine in Navy training courses. This paper illuminates some perceptions surrounding self-pacing in Navy. training, explores some realities of Navy training, and presents.a recommendation about how best to proceed. The piper offers the : following conclusions: (1) self-pacing .is misunderstood; (2)' self-pacing_is not the only factor responsible for perceived declines in the quelLity of Navy training, and may not be involved at all; (3) Navy training courses have more serious problems than.their method of delivery; (4) traditional delivery methods will not guarantee instructional quality; (.5) all forms of delivery, including self pacing, have advantages and disadvantages that irivolVe Compl_ ted trade-.offs; and -(.6) there are no simple,solutionS to the problems of Navy training. Guidance from the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) conceining7how to proceed. is well founded. Any attempt ,to effect major changes, in existing instructional.systeMs without the controlled test and'evaluation called for by dRET would be both-ieckless and Costly, Specifically, changing ''a course from lock-step to self-paced or,from self-paced to lock-step without sufficient evidence that the quality of the instruction will improve and/or significant cost Savings will occur would be counter to CNET's guidance.
