E-MAIL: Michelle Lewis, NAWCTSD, Code 27223, Michelle_Lewis@ntsc.navy.mil. The pressure to reduce shore-based training facilities persists. This reduction in shore-based facilities presupposes that a variety of knowledge and skills can be acquired and maintained just as effectively through shipboard on-the-job training (OJT), self-study materials, distance learning, and exportable interactive courseware (ICW). However, empirical evidence to this effect does not exist. In order to maintain an optimal state of readiness in light of this recent trend, a thorough investigation of strategies for creating a continuous learning environment on board navy ships is needed. Theoretically-rooted principles and guidelines for enhancing team members' ability to learn from day to day experiences and to impart their own unique knowledge and skills to one another must be developed.
