Management System for Integrating Basic Skills 2 Training and Unit Training Programs

Abstract : This report describes methods used and results obtained in the design, development, and field test of a management system and curriculum components for integrating the Army's Basic Skills Education Program, Phase II (BSEP II) and unit training programs. The curriculum components are designed to develop basic literacy skills required to attain 9th grade level in reading, language, and math (as measured by the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) and to provide skill training in learning strategies and military life coping demand areas. Data demonstrate that the curriculum components tested lead to TABE gains comparable to those obtained with both teacher-taught and CAI BSEP II curricula currently in use at the test site.
