The Application of Computers to Learning in the Command and General Staff College: A Front End Analysis Study
Abstract
A front-end analysis was conducted on the expansion of the use of computers in instruction at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC). The knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) required of officers serving in staff positions are identified. Current curricula of the College are compared with this KSA and the College's performance in preparing officers for later assignments in staff positions is evaluated. Opportunities to improve instructions through further applications of computers to learning (ACL) are identified, and steps in a program for exploiting those opportunities are described. Recommendations concerning initiation of the program, including the immediate follow-on effort required, are made. This report presents only the findings and recommendations of the front-end analysis. Supplementary reports are separately bound. The reports all have the beginning title, Application of Computers to Learning in the Command and General Staff College. Keywords: Computer-based training, Computer assisted instruction (CAI), Intelligent tutoring systems. Simulations, Functional requirements definition, Front end analysis, Systems approach to training, Instruction, Doctrine development, Automated classroom, Command and control, Staff officer, Knowledge, skills, abilities.
