No, I'm not a 737 pilot. The subject title doesn't say the discussion is exclusively about the B737.
But I certainly do know the difference between IAS and G/S because wind velocity awareness is critical to carrying out my present job safely.
I was taught from square one to learn power/attitude settings that give a safe baseline to work from when flying jet powered aircraft and for all other types. For a couple of decades I was responsible for teaching others to do the same. It appears from some accident reports that more recent training might unfortunately not be so comprehensive.
