Abstract
This paper presents a case study in which a training program was developed to teach how to use a statistic software package to students of a women's university. First, we conducted task analyses, defined target behaviors, developed instructional materials and criterion tests, and provided the training program. The results of the criterion tests showed the program was effective in achieving the behaviorally defined objectives. Then we revised the training program to reduce the errors frequently observed in the criterion test, by adding practices and a checklist. The effectiveness of the training was shown to be improved further. Thus, the use of the behavioral methodology in designing and revising a training program in university was validated.
