In accordance with the Army's emphasis on performance-oriented instruction, this project was undertaken to revise the Basic Law Enforcement Course (BLEC) offered by the U.S. Military Police School at Fort Gordon. Through a unique combination of systems engineering, group problem-solving, and peer instruction, an individualized, open-access curriculum design was developed. This design afforded the basic MP student greater flexibility and choice in the use of a variety of instructional techniques made available (e.g., videotaped demonstration, slide-tape programs, practical exercises, peer instruction, and performance tests). A prototypic unit of the course was fully developed and tested in a trial run to assess its feasibility, training effectiveness, and overall acceptance by the instructors and students. Only minor operational problems were encountered. Instructor and student attitudes were universally favorable to the new design. An experimental group of 51 students trained in the prototypic unit on the trial run surpassed by a significant margin the performance of a control group that had been taught the same material through conventional methods. On the basis of the trial run results, systems engineering of the entire BLEC was undertaken in accordance with open-access design. (Six appendixes include various task analysis procedures.)
