Abstract
This chapter discusses how a US Air Force (USAF) technical training organization shifted instructional strategies to employ student-centered instruction (SCI). Technical training leaders are leaning forward to meet this challenge because they have found that traditional instructional methods are hindering the development of flexible lifelong learners required in today’s Air Force. Due to an ever-changing and innovative environment, the USAF needs members who can think for themselves and learn in a self-regulated way. To address the need the USAF technical training headquarters developed an educational workshop titled Student-Centered Instruction designed to demonstrate and practice student-centered learning. After conducting six workshops with 64 participants, the workshop developers assessed their effectiveness. A multi-method approach was employed utilizing end-of-course surveys, worksite interviews and student interviews to determine the impact of the workshop on technical training course development and facilitation by workshop participants.
