User's Manual for Assessing Individual and Group Performance during Battle Planning Exercises
Abstract
This report is a manual for users of the three Graphic Rating Scales (GRSs) previously developed to assess small group and individual performance of students playing a simulated battlefield command and control exercise while attending the Officer's Advanced Course (OAC) at the United States Army Field Artillery School (USAFAS) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Each item on the GRSs is described in detail, the criteria used to evaluate student performance are clearly presented, and preliminary estimates of the reliability of the scales are reported. The manual also contains an overview of the Small Group Instruction Practical Exercises (PEs), including descriptions of the Command Estimate Process, PE staff positions, and the tactical and technical aspects of the Fort Irwin PE. In addition to providing users with the information needed to assess performance, a detailed description of the data base system developed to store and generate reports from the data is presented. The data base system is composed of a menu-driven user interface and DBASE IV data files that allow the user to rapidly and easily enter or modify performance measure ratings and select up to six reports describing the data.
