Development of Parallel Learning Strategies Curricula Using Videodisc and Standard Off-Line Formats
Abstract
The objectives of this project were to: (1) develop interactive videodisc instruction for Army enlisted personnel to learn problem solving strategies and include it and the previous videodisc lessons in an integrated learning strategies curriculum, (2) develop a parallel curriculum in a standard paper-pencil format for use at Department of Defense locations without videodisc equipment and to facilitate future media comparisons in evaluations planned by the US Army Research Institute (ARI), and (3) create a videotape presentation of the videodisc instruction that has been sponsored by ARI. The products of this developmental project were: two videodiscs and the related instructional software to train problem solving strategies and grouping as a learning strategy to Army personnel, and an overview to integrate the entire learning strategies curriculum; a parallel curriculum of off-line materials for use in locations without the needed hardware for videodisc presentation and for a media comparison evaluation; and, a set of videotapes to describe ARI videodisc instructional projects. Keywords: Learning strategies; Computer-based training; Interactive videodisc; Off-line format; Basic skills; and Armor crewman tasks.
