Job Oriented Training: Onderwijskundige Grondslag en Onderbouwing (Job Oriented Training: Foundation and Empirical Support)

Abstract

A long needed educational paradigm shift is steadily finding its way in the Dutch military organization, namely that of Job Oriented Training (Stehouwer 2005, 2006). When training the JOT way, from day one, military students are confronted with increasingly complex real 'job' challenges to be solved in virtual environments. Along that road, we don't take prisoners; mistake means virtual death. Neither do we supply theory in advance, theoretical insights are acquired while solving realistic issues. Frequent and thorough reflecting makes the insights stick. In this report, we will explain the underlying educational theory, its basic principles and the empirical evidence supporting those principles. In addition we describe the lessons learned of the application of JOT within 7 different military curricula.
