Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
The U.S. Army War College is an accredited professional military education institution that develops strategic leaders and skilled problem solvers in order to achieve national security objectives. During the 2018-2019 academic year, faculty piloted a problem-based learning (PBL) design in the Introduction to Strategic Studies course to explore how executive-level students: (1) translate knowledge of strategy into performance and (2) how engagement in PBL influenced students’ sense of belonging in the seminar environment using Walton and Cohen’s (2007) Sense of Belonging instrument.
