Study of Effectiveness of Army Continuing Education System

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the impact of participation in the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) upon soldier performance. Four ACES programs were selected for evaluation: Basic Skills Education Program I, Literacy Phase (BSEP I-Lit); Basic Skills Program I English as a Second Language (BSEP I-ESL); Skill Development - General Vocational- Technical (Vo-Tech); and Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP). Independent, dependent and control variables were selected and sample sizes were determined. Sources for obtaining the variable data were identified, including computerized sources and four installations were selected for manual collection of Vo-Tech data. A methodology was designed for the collection, storage and management of data. A comparative statistical analysis of the results was not completed due to problems encountered in accessing, obtaining and processing computerized and manual soldier performance data. (Author)
