This book was released on 2003 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) considered the following programs: (a) Tuition Assistance (TA); (b) Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST; (c) Military Occupational Specialty Improvement Training (MOSIT); (d) Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Leader Skill Enhancement Courses; and (e) the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT). The assessment of the effectiveness of these programs is based on their ability to enhance soldier performance and increase the prospects of promotion, as well as to reduce attrition and increase reenlistment. The evaluation data came from a longitudinal administrative database that tracked a three-year accession cohort over a six-year period and an NCO database including self-reported participation in ACES programs, promotion information, and observed performance ratings. The analysis was designed to separate effects of participant characteristics from the effects of the program, and to control for differences in the opportunity and propensity to participate in ACES. Participation in TA and FAST were associated with an increase in the probability of first term reenlistment FAST participation was also associated with lower first-term attrition. Participation in several ACES programs showed positive effects on measures of performance and promotion potential.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recently published Army Regulation, AR-5-3, Standard Installation Organization (SIO), printed in draft form, proposes to standardize the alignment of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) under the Directorate of Personnel and Community Activities (DPCA) at post level. Reaction by some ACES personnel and some Army commanders has been critical of this approach and has prompted others to wonder why ACES should be standardized when it is functioning effectively. The purpose according to the regulation, is to provide for greater coordination throughout the Army. This purpose assumes that the ACES mission is subsumed by the DPCA exclusively, notwithstanding the fact that ACES presently conducts programs which may be considered a proponent of Training. The ACES diverse slate of educational courses and programs traverses the DPCA and the Directorate, Plans, Training, and Mobilization (DPTM) and impacts quite assiduously on the three R's - Recruitment, Readiness, and Retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous questions and issues arise in exploring adult higher education and the military. They include military and institutional relationships, the functions of education in the military, the use of education credentials by the military and its personnel, the role of educational technology, and the assurance of "quality" in postsecondary education targeted toward service-members. Perhaps most critical are current international political-military trends, and the adjustments in education efforts within the military that will occur to accommodate a new peacetime U.S. military structure, As priorities are reviewed, even if military budgets are slashed, servicemembers should not be relegated to "second-class" status in educational opportunities for American citizens. Because the military environment is often inhospitable to the pursuit of education, these opportunities must be the products of sophisticated programs that blend traditional and nontraditional approaches to education.--Executive summary.
