A Report on Military Student Attitudes Towards Instructional Television.
Abstract
As already indicated, the use of ITV within military educational systems involves a considerable amount of funds. Yearly costs for the operation, maintenance, and purchase of equipment easily exceeds $200,000 per year at the Academy. When one adds figures for other military units, it is clear that the military is spending considerable funds on classroom technology without having research data regarding the attitudes of the students. As already noted, this may result in negative effects. This research will provide data useful to administrators and teachers when making decisions regarding the application of ITV to the classroom environment. The primary research objective is to identify military student attitudes towards ITV use at several military schools, so that military educators will have the appropriate information available when deciding how to apply TV in the education program of their institution. This study provides comprehensive information regarding many aspects of TV instruction, as evaluated by military students. Keywords: Instructional Television; Classroom Methodology; Military Student Attitudes; Teaching Technology, Classroom Technology. (Author)
