MOTIVATIONAL EFFECTS OF THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE COMPLETION PROGRAM,
Abstract
The report describes the results of the first of a series of studies which are being conducted to aid in evaluating the career motivation value of the Associate Degree Completion Program (ADCOP) for career enlisted personnel. Survey questionnaires were mailed to the 142 men currently participating in the pilot program. Questions on this survey dealt with background information, career motivation, education, and expectations concerning ADCOP. Space for general comment was provided. Findings show that the majority of the men presently enrolled in ADCOP are enlisted personnel in pay grades E-6 and E-7. They are educationally oriented as evidenced by both past performance and future educational aspirations. They are career-motivated and have high rank aspirations with most of them hoping to attain commissioned or warrant status. The majority expect to do quite well academically and think that completion of ADCOP will have an advantageous effect on their ability to do a better job in their rating and on their promotions. Comments from participants generally praised the program highly. (Author)
