This report describes a portion of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Infantry Forces Research Unit's work in the formative evaluation of the computer based Tactics Certification Course (TCC) Principles of War Module. Sixteen subjects from the U.S. Army Infantry School were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group received the computer based instructional version of the Principles of War module and an end of module quiz. Subjects assigned to the control condition received only the end of module quiz. In addition to the quiz, subjects completed a background computer experience survey and a questionnaire assessing their opinions on selected aspects of the Principles of War module. Subjects in the experimental group answered significantly more quiz items correctly (88.9%) than did subjects in the control condition (48.1%). Ratings of selected aspects of the module varied. Certain sections of the module clearly needed to be modified. Other sections required only minor refinements. The overall ratings of the instructional value of the course were positive. The results from this research will be used to refine selected areas of the module.
Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.
