Development of the Instructor Orientation Course for the Army ROTC Management Simulation Program.
Abstract
This report describes the development and testing of the Instructor Orientation Course (IOC), which was designed to accompany the Army ROTC Management Simulation Program (MSP). A field test of the MSP, an instructional package directed toward developing management skills, had revealed the need for training instructors in this new type of material. Consequently, a training program was developed to: (1) provide instructors of the MSP with an opportunity to experience the program from a student perspective and (2) develop critical instructor competencies relevant to each component of the MSP. The IOC consists of a videotape and a series of audiotapes and workbooks. A two-phase evaluation involving one instructor from each of sixteen schools was conducted to determine whether the IOC met its objectives. The video tape, audiotapes and workbooks were all evaluated favorably. A number of apparent deficiencies were identified in the course of the evaluation, resulting in modifications to the IOC before it became fully operational. (Author)
