is composed of the T&E Branch Chief, the TEDEV, the OPRs and the IKM chief (SHAPE JENG if required for NMESOC).

d. The Branch Chief Training & Education is responsible for the overall preparation and conduct of the Quality Assurance Process within the T&E Branch with the support of TEDEV. He also appoints from the T&E Branch one overall OPR for every course who is also the single Course Quality Manager (CQM).

e. The Training & Development Chief (TEDEV) as the dedicated Quality Manager (QM), in coordination with Information and Knowledge Management (IKM), is responsible for verifying completion of the graded review process. He is also responsible for all steps specified in the relevant Quality Assurance Project (course) Plans and the Quality Assurance Policy are authorized, before releasing information products and services. He also oversees and co-ordinates the preparation of Quality Assurance Project Plans and Data and Evaluation Assessment Plans, and monitors and updates and improves the operational procedures as required.

f. OPR’s are responsible for executing Quality Assurance Project (course) Plans and Evaluation Assessment Plans for each course and for ensuring that all quality assurance steps specified in those plans are observed and accomplished. All staff participating in / contributing to a course share the responsibility for identifying and reporting any observed quality issues and for recommending corrective actions. They are also planning and preparing assigned courses, coordinating the visits of Guest Speakers and Supporting Speakers for assigned courses, ensuring the efficient use of resources allocated to courses, enabling a conducive learning environment and monitoring the welfare of students during course facilitation, and executing assigned courses. Also as Course Quality Managers (CQM) (= Course OPR) and their back up (Training Staff) are responsible for the content development and the conduct of the single Course type and the QA Battle Rhythm within the course,

g. The Information Knowledge Management chief (IKM) is responsible for IT infrastructure and service provision and hence for ensuring the security and integrity of data held in files and databases.

In order to achieve MILENG COE aims it is vital to regularly evaluate all aspects of provision of E&T by systematically:

(1) Analysing Military engineering operational requirements into education and training objectives within a subject, programme, module and/or course.

(2) Assessing the established standards to which the courses adhere.

(3) Collaborating with ACT and ACO as the Requirement Authority to ensure courses and curricula are conform to NATO requirements,

(4) Participating in staff development. (5) Monitoring and reviewing as part of self-assessment and

development planning. (6) Participating in NATO’s Lessons Identified and Lessons

Learned Process.

b. Guiding Principles.

MILENG COE standards and guidelines for internal quality assurance include:

(1) A publicly available strategy for the continuous enhancement of quality, including the description of the student´s and other stakeholders´ involvement.

(2) Formal mechanisms for the approval, periodic review and monitoring of MILENG COE provision of E&T.

(3) A student assessment using criteria, regulations and procedures which are applied consistently.

(4) A teaching staff quality assurance program to best ensure that staffs involved in teaching, students are qualified and competent, including procedures to identify the current level of expertise of SMEs, guest speakers/contract lectures.

(5) Learning resources, means of support and instruments which ensure that the resources available to support the student´s learning process are adequate and appropriate for each course offered,

(6) Internal information management system to collect, analyse and use relevant information for the effective management of MILENG COE courses, e.g. student satisfaction criteria, instructor satisfaction criteria.

(7) Public information means to ensure that MILENG COE course catalogue including the description of MILENG COE capacity is publicly accessible based upon current and accurate data.

1.5. MILENG COE role as Department Head – Responsibilities and Execution

MILENG COE is going to be the Department Head for the MILENG Discipline after the NAC approval. As a DH (according to the STP which is BI-SC approved):

a. Lead, conduct and approve the TNA, supported by JFT and the RA, in order to define learning and enabling objectives which are required to eliminate performance gaps (after approval of SC for MILENG COE courses) and then will advise JFT on where to conduct exported accredited courses or modules.

b. Translate the operational requirements into education and training

within a subject, programme, module and/or course; and apply the educational standards to which the programme, modules and courses will adhere.

c. MILENG COE will recommend changes within the courses to the RA

(and if necessary to JFT). As DH recommendations, for NMESOC are to the RA, for MILENG COE Courses changes are to the Steering Committee.

d. Lead and conduct the Annual Discipline Conference (ADC) on behalf of JFT, with participation from the Community of Interest (RA, Subject Matter Experts (SME), E&T institutions and affiliated organisations). The results of the ADC is a Discipline Alignment Plan (DAP).

1.6. Quality Process (note BiSC 75-7 refers to Quality Assurance only but

includes Quality Control)

Quality processes as used by this institution pertain to two different concepts: Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA):

a. QC aims to identify deficiencies in the final product. Quality control, therefore, is a reactive process. The goal of QC is to identify weaknesses after a product is developed and before it is released.

b. QA (in this context is the academic institutional concept, not to be

confused with NATO standards which combine QA/QC concepts) aims to prevent deficiencies with a focus on the process used to develop the product. It is a proactive quality process. The goal of QA is to improve development and test processes so that deficiencies do not arise when the product is being developed.

MILENG COE processes have been organized in the basic documents which are this QA Manual and the related MILENG COE Standard Operational Procedures. They are revised periodically in an internal evaluation process annually scheduled by the CC. MILENG COE personnel, instructors, staff, admin, military and civilian are selected on the base of Peacetime Establishment (PE) job descriptions and are formally evaluated by their direct superior according to national and NATO standards.

1.7. Quality Assurance Management Review The QA management review (QAMR) as a part of QC, is the self-assessment process to update this QA policy, identify new and on-going shortfalls and to identify best practices. The QAMR will be carried out annually during June - July. The CC- with support of the T&E Branch—is responsible for the planning, execution and evaluation of the review. It involves a formal analysis of the management system—how this policy is implemented—with the aim of identifying the need for changes, strengths and weaknesses. The results of the QAMR shall include decisions on measures concerning improvements to current products and services as well as the need for resources. These results may also affect this QA manual and its annexes that would have to be changed accordingly. As general guidelines, the following topics should be covered in the QAMR:

a. Results from audits and inspections and previous QAMRs.

b. Results of previous corrective or preventive measures.

c. Results of courses review and series of courses review.

d. Influences and changes of circumstances that may affect QA (e.g. human resources, personnel rotation program based on national regulations, etc.)

e. Resource requirements. The QAMR will be scheduled and included in the annual QA plan. Other MILENG COE branches provide support to QAMR as required.

1.8. General Remarks Primarily internal reviews of the courses are for the MILENG COE courses, or course content parts, will be carried out by T&E Branch. External reviews (e.g. NMESOC) will be conducted by SMEs out of the Community of Interest and/or representatives of the Requirement Authority (RA, to ensure that the operational requirements are continuously covered, transparent and aligned with NATO’s Strategic Guidance), (BI-SC 75-7, xx march 2013). The RA, Community of Interest and the SC will be routinely informed of all course enhancement and adjustments. This will be accomplished through routine coordination with the RA, SC meetings, and dialogue among the Community of Interest (NSJEC). 1.9. Collective Training and exercises (note MILENG COE not able to meet Level of Ambition in this area and can only meet partially within capabilities and capacity). The MILENG COE attends selected exercise events that enhance the individual training courses. This accomplished by evaluating MILENG tasks during exercises

2.3. Curriculum Implementation and Educational Standards

a. Background The recent years have proven an increasing complexity to be in the operational environment. Simultaneously changes to the war fighting doctrines were observed. In addition less personnel is available for more and more complex tasks. This leads to a more efficient approach towards education and training, wisely using the time available for personnel development. Effectiveness and efficiency are keys to deliver high level education and training. Being a Centre of Excellence creates and maintains a curriculum that provides modern, high quality Education and Training (E&T), in line with military and civilian educational developments. In order to establish this high quality E&T a learning methodology applicable to the entire curriculum is required.

b. Definition Learning Methodology: a systematic process for creating an efficient and effective learning environment which enables a training audience to develop the competencies necessary to perform their required tasks.

c. Determination Learning Methodology Four learning methodologies have been selected as suitable for MILENG COE. The three learning methodologies are:

(1) Competence Based Learning: focuses on outcomes and addresses what the learners are expected to do rather than on what they are expected to learn about (know). CBL advocates defining educational goals in terms of precise measurable descriptions of knowledge, skills and behaviors a student should demonstrate at the end of a course. CBL is adaptive to the changing needs of students and the customers’ needs.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

12

(2) Scenario based learning: puts the student in a real context. The use of scenarios helps the student better understand the decisions he/she has to take. Scenario based training provides an active learning experience with proven effectiveness.

(3) Project Based Learning: methodology where students are

working in a group (project setting), analyzing a complex problem of the actual working field/context. Based on an assignment the problem will be resolved in the form of a realistic occupational product. The focus is not only on the product, but also on the process.

d. Motivation The three learning methodologies have been selected based on one or more reasons. Below the motivation of every learning methodology is stated.

(1) Competence Based Learning because: (a) The MILENG COE is focused on outcomes (demand

driven education and training), rather than inputs. (b) MILENG COE emphasizes on skills and delivering

products (written and/or oral), rather than focusing on knowledge. (c) A learning methodology is needed that is flexible due to

the national and international changes in the operational environment of the “MILENG COE. CBL.”

(d) There is an increasing variety of MILENG COE -students, with their specific needs. Using CBL individual learning wishes/needs can be addressed. This resulted in tailor-made courses.

(e) CBL approaches education as a whole. Instead of mainly focusing on the transfer of knowledge/topics, CBL concentrates on the learning of competences (a combination of knowledge, skills and attitude).

(f) The CBL learning methodology matches with the concept of ‘train as you fight’.

(2) Scenario based learning because:

(a) Scenario based learning is in line with the concept of ‘train as you fight’,

(b) Scenario based learning has been proven a successful and effective training method for many years, both in the military as well as in the civilian world.

(c) This learning methodology is familiar to most military personnel. It is easier to use a commonly understood methodology, so not a huge amount of time needs to be spent explaining and introducing the learning methodology.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

13

(d) Part of the scenario can be put in the pre-course-packages. Therefore no precious time is needed to get familiar with the scenario, during the face to face E&T at MILENG COE.

(e) Scenario based learning includes an active role for the student. Since MILENG COE underlines an active role of students this methodology is suitable for MILENG COE.

(3) Project Based Learning because: (a) Military Personnel working in staffs are working in

project groups. Therefore it is useful to use a learning methodology that refers to a proper way of working in a project (team).

(b) In projects the focus is not only on delivering a product, but also on the process. During the courses emphasis will be put as well on (improving of) the process.

(c) In project based learning the student groups are working on a problem (via an assignment) that is related to the actual working field/context. This is motivating to students and to the active participation of students.

2.4. Instructional objectives. The Instructional objectives (or learning/performance objectives) are the backbone of the course instructional design. Templates and examples are provided in Annex C. This Annex also provides templates for supporting documentation that covers training audience description, the learning sequence and activities, the student assessment strategy, pre-requisites for the course, the instructors’ number and characteristics, as well generic timetable and resource requirements. 2.5. Instructional Process and Evaluation

a. General.

The Quality Assurance Process set out below is supported by editorial guidelines and digital review procedures, and other operational standards and guidelines as required. They are fully integrated into the annual POW, implementation and reporting cycles and will be reviewed annually and recommended changes or amendments put forward for approval with the POW.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

14

The overall MILENG COE Quality Assurance Cycle depicts how the evaluation process (Curriculum and Learner Evaluation Process) functions. After several iterations of one specific course the QM will initiate and conduct a “Series of Course Evaluation” (typically done annually, roughly two iterations). The Program Evaluation will be conducted on the outcome of the “Series of Course Evaluation” and/or on the external inputs/demands of the Community of Interest (RA, SC and NATO nations and beyond) (ANNEX E).

b. Annual Quality Assurance Plan This plan summarizes in one table all planned courses and the anticipated schedule for Quality Assurance and evaluation reviews and approvals. The annual plan provides an overview for the POW. It also highlights for review and approval any planned improvements and additions to the Policy. This plan is also used as a summary feedback mechanism to improve strengths and weaknesses, enhance opportunities and eliminate threats. The format of the Annual Quality Assurance Plan is provided in Annex A.

c. Course Control Management Process The process involves all involved with different involvement and focuses on the different stages of executing the single course. All listed forms, formats and reports are digitally operated and available. The main events are:

(b) Student. Fills in digitally in daily base a questionnaire

addressing their learning outcome based upon the learning objectives per learning topic per the day. This includes evaluation of both single lectures but also syndicate work, (example of questionnaire in ANNEX D). At the start of the next day’s programme, the student discusses/is informed about adjustments of the course programme deriving from both student’s and training staff’s feedback. At the end of the course the student finalizes his individual course survey carried out digitally addressing all aspects of the course (admin, support, learning outcome etc.). 6 month after the course, the students are again asked via a digital survey focusing on their application of the learning outcome (ANNEX D).

(c) Training Staff. Fills in digitally at the end of the course a questionnaire providing detailed feedback and recommendations on the Instructor Improvement Plan (Annex D). Meets at the end of every day to address the outcome of the single day which includes conclusions derived from the filled in

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

16

questionnaires from the students and own observations. Learning difficulties, weak and strong individual performances are addressed and adjustments to the following days programme decided and agreed upon, if applicable.

(3) Post course.

(a) The week after the course the T&E Staff in hot wash up discuss the content and the level of the course and finally present to the Director an official After Action Review (AAR) (Annex D1) addressing all aspects of the course (admin, support, learning outcome etc.).

(b) Two weeks after the course. The involved MILENG

COE staff (T&E) meets and evaluates the course with focus on admin and support based upon feedback from participants (digital survey) and own observations. Agreed upon and necessary adjustments to coming courses are implemented.

(c) NLT during the “familiarization program” of the next

course iteration lessons plans; briefings, vignettes etc. are adjusted in accordance with the findings from the previous iteration(s).

(d) After a number (case-by-case – specified in the

“Annual Quality Assurance Plan” (Annex A) of iterations of a single course type, the QM conducts a written evaluation of the course type leading to suggestions on possible adjustments/ improvements. The need to initiate a new Training Needs Analysis (TNA) might be the result of the process, recommended to be carried out every 3 years anyway to ensure content relevance related to doctrine developments, mission and exercise experiences and inputs from civilian partners, etc. The evaluation is based upon the relevant course reports, the feedback from the digital survey conducted 6 month after the courses, feedback from the RA and the Community of Interest including outcome/findings from the Annual Discipline Conference. The report is presented for comments/approval to the MILENG COE Director (DIR) and the proposed changes are implemented primarily through the “Annual QA Plan (Annex A) (internal focus) and the Discipline Alignment Plan (external focus).

3. Assessment of Students The main focus is to asses, if the students have achieved the required skills (is able to “translate” the achieved knowledge into products and procedures) at the end of the course rather than testing gained knowledge through teacher controlled test-questionnaires. The assessment of the learning outcome in the single course is based upon two main efforts: a) The student’s self-evaluation and b) the training staff’s evaluation of the single student.

a. Self-Evaluation The student will, through answering the questions in the initial test passing the recommended pre-course ADL, have the first feedback on own understanding of the topics and knowledge within the course allowing the student to identify own understanding and possible weaknesses. The student has also access to the course programme including course documents allowing the student to have an overview of all learning objectives and the way to achieve those before starting (and during) the residential part of the course. During the course, all lectures and syndicate works etc. starts with listing the learning objectives for the following learning process and the instructors end the session with listing the most important take a ways. The student evaluates at the end of the day the outcome through filling in the digital questionnaire again addressing the learning objectives. This allows the single students to identify own understanding of the topics and enables the students to do self-study and/or to ask for assistance from the instructor/coaches in the following days.

b. The training staff evaluation of the single student’s performance Building upon the learning objectives but also personal experiences (mission – etc.), the course instructors are closely monitoring the single student’s efforts, involvement and outcome. The assigned instructor is following the same student through the entire course and is present during all lectures and practical assignments, syndicate works etc. It allows the instructor to provide immediate feedback to the single students through dialogue and side talks. At the end of each day, the training staff evaluates the learning outcome and identifies high and low achievers among the student body. This approach enables the training staff to adjust the upcoming day’s assignments, methodical approaches and to put more focus on students having difficulties and assisting them in increasing their outcome/learning process. For every course the students can’t miss more than 20% of it.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

4. Quality Assurance of Faculty and Staff The effort is based on mixture of focused Personal Development Plans for MILENG COE personnel, (NATO) Instructor Course in NSO, Instructor Familiarization Programme, Instructor evaluation and identification etc., to guarantee that staffs involved in teaching students (training staff) are qualified and competent, including procedures to identify the current level of expertise of SMEs, guest speakers. A prioritized effort is put on addressing the training staff improving their skills as being tutors for the students.

a. The MILENG COE Personnel Development Program (ANNEX G) ensures adequate education and training based on job descriptions and the institution needs and extends personnel`s abilities for international and/or national assignments and their own advancement. It includes orientation and briefings for newcomers to train them on specific tools and processes used by the MILENG COE (SOP 105).

b. The Training Staff Familiarization Programme, conducted before

each course, ensures that in-house/guest instructors are familiar with the educational standards as well as with course specific topics. Lectures are to be frequently attended by the T&E Branch chief and TEDEV/QM, especially when training staff or guest lectures are teaching for the first time. Training Staff/Guest Lecturers will be assessed on their ability to:

a. Convey the intended learning objectives, b. Structure and effectively schedule the program/lecture/practice c. Address student‘s questions and clarify difficult points d. Guide the students towards a successful learning experience e. Wisely use resources, material and teaching aids (smart boards,

projectors, etc.) f. Exert group control g. Guide and mentor the students during practices and syndicates so they

can reach the intended objectives on their own. h. Language proficiency.

Annex D contain the instructor (for both training staff and guest lecturers) assessment form template that will be adopted by the OPR and included in all course documentation packages. Students’ comments and feedback will also be collected to support the in-house assessment.

5. Learning Resources and Student Support Means of support and instruments which ensure that the resources available to support the student´s learning process are adequate and appropriate for each course offered.

a. Student and Training Staff feedback for continuous improvement is part of the Course Evaluation Tools (Annex D),

b. Student support includes: lodging, transportation, social events,

meals, access and extra-curricular activities as well as the seat allocation and budget. Information for students is available through the MILENG COE Webpage, the Course Admin and “Student Handbook” (Annex F).

INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK FORM

Instructor Improvement Plan

Competency Improvement Strategies for:

Weakness (-) Strength (+)

Tips for Effective Use

Because every training environment is different, and every Instructor brings a different set of skills to the job, it is important to tailor your evaluation session.

− After reviewing the competencies, focus only on the behaviors the Instructor may need to improve

upon. If it is determined that many of the areas need to be addressed, you may consider breaking the feedback sessions into blocks where only a few of the competencies are evaluated at one sitting.

− If your course is primarily self-paced, you will need to observe the instructor during one-on-one

feedback sessions to ensure they are demonstrating the competencies. The behaviors listed can be demonstrated in an Instructor-led lesson, as well as a more self-paced environment. For example, an Instructor needs to be able to use questioning techniques effectively, whether the Instructor is presenting to a group or to an individual.

− Discuss the evaluation session with the Instructor beforehand. Let the Instructor know your

expectations, and ask the Instructor what areas the Instructor would like to improve upon. − Rate the effectiveness of the Instructor in each competency area. The scale is from 1 (low

effectiveness) to 4 (high effectiveness). All behaviors within each competency do not necessarily need to be demonstrated for the instructor to be effective. In addition, use the comment area to record specific behaviors that are demonstrated or missed, or provide additional comments regarding performance.

− Prior to evaluation, become familiar with competency descriptions and their associated improvement

strategies.

Annex E to MINENG COE QA Policy

SERIES OF COURSES EVALUATION “Series of courses evaluations” (SCE) is one of the main parts of the Quality Assurance Cycle. It collects the lessons learned of each course contained in the OPR final report as well as trend analysis of evaluation surveys done by students and instructors. It also looks at adequacy and relevance of learning objectives, the new operational requirements of the RA/SC, the current course landscape to detect any duplication, the instructors’ selection process and the internal conduct of the course. The process will be directed by the T&E Branch chief and conducted by the QM according to the yearly Quality Assurance Annual Plan (QAP)

Sources to be considered:

o OPR reports o Trend analysis

Students’ evaluation recurrent main issues Training Staff evaluation recurrent main issues Student After 6 –months – Survey main issues

o Learning Objectives – Enabling Objectives o Instructors’ selection process o ADL (when applicable)

The outcome will be a “Series of courses evaluation” report. It should gather all lessons learned from previous iterations of the course and it should contain a list of conclusions and recommendations which eventually might suggest a course update, a major course revision or even the development of a whole new set of learning objectives or a new course. Appendix 1 to this annex contains a template for the SCE report
