Perceptions of Graduates and Their Supervisors Related to the Air and Space Basic Course
Kraska, Marie F.; Bentley, Terry R.
Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v41 n1 p1-12 Spr 2004
The Air and Space Basic Course (ASBC) solicits feedback from field commanders and supervisors; however, it does not currently use any type of graduate or supervisor evaluation system. The ASBC has no mechanism in place to guarantee feedback about how the course has or has not prepared its graduates to function as military leaders. Consequently, this study was needed in order to give timely feedback for effective changes that may help to improve the ASBC curriculum content for current and future students. The purpose of this study was to gather and utilize perceptual data from the graduates and their supervisors in order to investigate the effectiveness of the ASBC education on the intellectual processes of leading airmen, and if needed, recommend changes for improving the ASBC curriculum in order to enhance the graduates' preparedness for their postgraduate roles as airmen leaders.
