An Army Experiential Learning Model Job Aid
Abstract
The purpose of this work was to create a tool to help instructors at the Maneuver Captains Career Course (MCCC) bridge the operator-to-educator transition (Swaim, 2017) by supporting their understanding of the Army Experiential Learning Model (ELM; see The Army University, Adult Teaching and Learning Users Guide). The ELM Job Aid was developed in a collaboration between the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) and the MCCC. For each element of the ELM, the job aid includes an overview of the purpose, a summary of typical methods used by MCCC instructors, alternative approaches, and Tips and Tricks based on the practices of seasoned MCCC instructors. Notably, the tool is intended to be used in conjunction with experiences gained in the Common Faculty Development-Instructor Course (CFD-IC) and in a program of instruction (POI)-specific certification course that serves to help apprentice instructors develop pedagogical content knowledge. The ELM Job Aid presented here addresses a way to further support content-specific teaching when faced with the time and resource constraints that are characteristic of military training and education settings.
