Job Skills Education Program: The Evaluation Plan.
Abstract
The Job Skils Education Program (JSEP) is designed to provide soldiers with the prerequisite knowlecge and skills required for successfully learning their Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). When the JSEP is put into effect, it will replace the Army's current Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) with a sophisticated, computer-based system. In ths research note, two evaluation paradigms are presented for the preliminary and full-scale tryouts of the JSEP. The preliminary tryout is a simulation of the JSEP system, and seeks to determine the effectiveness of the internal lesson production quality assurance procedures. Data provided by the preliminary tryout will help in making decisions as to the amount of formative evaluation which will be necessary in order to assure lesson quality during the remainder of the production phase of the project. The full scale tryout at two TRADOC sites and two sites belonging to FORSCOM will assess the effectiveness of the JSEP system in helping soldiers master prerequisite competencies, as well as the impact of mastering prerequisite competencies on MOS job performance. Information from the full scale tryout will contribute to the formulation of recommendations pertaining to optimal JSEP system component configurations.
