Job Skills Education Program TRADOC Test Plan

Abstract

The Job Skills Education Program (JSEP) Test Plan is a result of a TRADOC initiative to determine if job related academic skills taught using the JSEP computer based instruction (CBI) curriculum helps soldiers acquire and retain job related skills. TRADOC tested the hypotheses on soldiers in AIT and 120 days after completed AIT. (Advanced Individual Training) TRADOC used seven MOSs representing combat arms, combat services, and combat services support at six TRADOC installations. We matched soldiers and assigned them to control or experimental groups, with the experimental group receiving JSEP lessons and both groups tested with an Army Research Institute developed Job-Relevant Knowledge Test for specific MOSs. The Education Division's analysis of the data, based on grouping soldiers by percent of JSEP lessons complete within the experimental group and compared to our control group, showed significant effects between JSEP instruction, degree of prescription completed and severity of prescription, and immediate results on the ARI test.
