CONVERSION OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MILITARY NEW RECRUITS

10. NEW EFFECTIVE CONVERSION OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FROM TRADITIONAL LECTURE FORMAT TO VIRTUAL REALITY ONLINE BLENDED FORMAT

8. Instructional Plan

Introduction

Activate attention – How will you gain learners’ attention?

The recruit's attention will be activated by establishing clear and specific training goals based on their current level of knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Establish instructional purpose – How will you inform learners of the instructional goal?

Informing recruits of the instructional goal will involve defining and describing key terms of training material prior to presenting

the more complex conceptual relationships between the terms.

Arouse interest and motivation – How will you stimulate learners’ attention? How will you stimulate the learners’ motivation?

Recruits attention will be stimulated with the virtual equipment and attachments, also with presented training materials using

pictures and words spatially separated, and concurrently, rather than separated in time. In addition, this population has its own reward system of levels, ranks, badges, awards, etc...

Preview lesson – How will you provide an overview of the lesson?

An overview of the lesson for recruits will be provided by a virtual reality tutorial or instruction from a level Commander.

Body

Recall prior knowledge – How will you stimulate recall of prior knowledge?

To stimulate recall of prior knowledge, advance organizers will be utilized to provide recruits with relevant or background information prior to learning in order to facilitate the integration of newly acquired information with prior knowledge.

Process information – How will you present information and examples?

Information and examples will be presented by organizing the most important material into visual, auditory, conversational pieces to help recruits solve problems initially with guided practice and then on their own to develop expertise.

Focus attention – How will you gain and direct attention?

To gain and direct attention for recruits, signaling will be used to emphasize the most important training material by providing visual (arrows, animations, simulations, etc...) and auditory cues.

Employ learning strategies – How will you guide or prompt use of learning strategies?

Guiding learning strategies will include worked out examples, faded examples, completion problems, conventional problem-solving, minimally- guided instruction, and cognitive apprenticeship.

Practice – How will you provide for and guide practice?

The practice will be a training event consisting of deliberate practice presenting recruits with opportunities to engage in practice exercises, which provides specific feedback to assist with skill mastery. Also, distributed practice will be incorporated during training to help with overall skill mastery, maximize long-term learning, and distribute practice over multiple, short training sessions that are separated in time, as opposed to massing practice all at once.

Evaluate feedback – How will you provide feedback?

Immediate feedback will immediately follow errors made during problem-solving, provide recruits with corrections, hints or explanations to help them solve the solutions steps accurately, address recruit errors by explaining the rationale behind correct solutions (explanatory feedback), as opposed to only informing recruits whether their solution was right or wrong (corrective feedback).

Conclusion

Summarize and review – How will you provide a summary and review?

The summary and review will be provided to recruits following completion of a training task or sequence level. It will include

corrective and explanatory feedback, as well as suggestions for performance improvement.

Transfer knowledge – How will you enhance transfer?

This will be done via computer or virtual reality equipment by presenting real-time, real-world sequence complex material, which are manageable segments of information that present and explain steps required for problem-solving ranging from a novice level to an expert level of knowledge acquisition and practical application.

Remotivate and close – How will you provide remediation and closure?

This will be accomplished by prompting recruits to reflect upon their own training outcomes and to consider ways in which they could improve their performance.

Assessment

Assess performance – How will you conduct assessment?

Assessment will be conducted by testing and on-the-job performance. It will be utilized as a training tool in accordance with testing military trainees on the material.

Evaluate feedback and remediate – How will you provide feedback and remediation?

Feedback will be provided by after-action reviews and reflective prompting. In light of the mode of delivery, feedback will also be immediate, explanatory, and entail metacognitive prompting
