Methodology for Evaluating Transfer of Learning from the U.S. Army's Advanced Leaders Course

Abstract

The research reported here established the foundation for a unit-focused evaluation of the new Infantry Advanced Leaders Course (ALC, formerly known as the Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course), with the emphasis on transfer of training. The work produced an Evaluation Design Plan, a Data Collection and Management Plan, measures of ALC impact, the architecture for data collection instruments, and a Data Collector's Guide. This document describes and characterizes each product, and presents intermediate products involved in developing the impact measures. It also summarizes design options considered and rejected, and delineates assumptions behind the data collection strategy. The primary products are included in appendixes. The research paves the way for a comprehensive evaluation of Infantry ALC's operational impact.
