THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEBRASKA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
Abstract
The specific purpose of this study was to design an instructional design model for the Equal Opportunity program development for the Nebraska Army National Guard. A second purpose, based on a review of the literature and the accumulation of the data, was to test the operational utilization of the model. Based on the review of literature, three questionnaires were designed for utilization in the study. Questionnaire "A" was constructed for the purpose of verifying the equal opportunity descriptors defined in the literature and post organizational practices. An attitude scale was constructed to be used in Questionnaire "B" in order to determine attitudes of what "is," or currently exists, in equal opportunity practice and what "should be." An instructional block was designed to address those topics identified as being significant in Questionnaire "B." Questionnaire "C" was constructed to determine changes in attitudinal responses as identified in questionnaire "B" and the instructional block. Based on the findings of this study, three conclusions can be drawn: (1) The structure of the model and the methodology used to test the model should be useful as a guide to further equal opportunity training in a military environment. (2) Learning was enhanced with subject matter that was supported by stereotypes, prejudice, and emotionalism by active participation of the participants throughout the entire process. (3) The instructional model can be used to support, not replace, the present educational approaches in the military.
