Orientation/Time Management Skill Training Lesson: Development and Evaluation

Abstract

Materials contained within this report are designed to assist students in their adaptation to the novelties of a computer-assisted or managed instructional environment. This Orientation/Time Management lesson provides students with appropriate role models for increasing acceptance of their increased responsibility for learning and, it introduces a progress tracking approach to assist students in achieving completion goals in a self-paced training environment. Evaluation data from an implementation of these materials in the Air Force Advanced Instructional System (AIS) suggest that substantial time savings can be obtained by a combination of this type of orientation and time management skill training with a computer-based progress targeting and feedback system (on the order of 9 to 18 percent reduction in course completion times).
