SIX EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND ONE SURVEY IN INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION ARE COMBINED AND SUMMARIZED TO SHOW AREAS FOR SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF TELEVISION TO THE TRAINING OF MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND AREAS REQUIRING FURTHER RESEARCH. A SUMMARY OF RESULTS SHOWS TELEVISION TO BE AS EFFECTIVE OR MORE SO THAN REGULAR INSTRUCTION. HOWEVER, HIGH INITIAL COSTS, LARGE PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS, DIFFICULT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, AND COMPLICATED PROGRAMING HAVE RESTRICTED ITS USE. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TELEVISION BE USED WHEN ITS UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS MAKE ITS USE CLEARLY ADVISABLE, REGARDLESS OF COSTS AND OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS. (MS)
