Senior Service School Teaching Methods.

摘要

The five senior service schools in the United States use a variety of teaching methods. This study reviews the teaching methods used at the war colleges, considers their method selection criteria, discusses the various techniques for evaluating instructional method, and reaches the following conclusion: teaching method is not an important variable in predicting subsequent student performance. More important predictors include instructor and student background and expertise, what worked well in the past, the content of the curriculum, and even the time of year. Quality presentations and the use of a variety of techniques are more important than the particular method used. Keywords: Military education. (KR)
