Developing Army Leaders: Lessons for Teaching Critical Thinking in Distributed, Resident, and Mixed-Delivery Venues

by James C. Crowley, Susan G. Straus, Michael G. Shanley

The authors evaluated the effectiveness of the Common Core--the first phase of the U.S. Army's system for developing critical thinking skills in its officer corps--and the extent of differences among course venues: distributed, resident, and mixed delivery. Future evaluation should focus on whether the best possible outcomes within venues, rather than equivalent outcomes across venues, are achieved.
