The purpose of this study was to provide a baseline assessment of NROTC instructor corps performance as defined by the NROTC Instructor Competencies. The assessments provided by supervisors, instructor self-reviews and students were examined to determine differences and similarities in group assessment of instructor performance. And, the relationships between instructor performance as defined by the NROTC Instructor Competencies and selected instructor characteristics were reviewed. The research can provide NROTC Program management information for policy development in the areas of instructor selection, training and development. Additionally, the results of the study, the processes used, and the instruments developed and tested, can provide information for the assessment of non-NROTC undergraduate faculty members. / In 1980 the Navy contracted for research to determine the competencies specific to the responsibilities of the NROTC instructor. Prior to this research, there had been no assessment of NROTC instructor corps performance as defined by the research competencies and related behavioral indicators. / The study was supported by the Chief of Naval Education and Training and can provide information for future decisions. Two instruments were developed. These were used to document instructor demographic information and student, supervisor and instructor self-assessments of instructor performance. A pilot study was conducted. The research was completed in the spring of 1990. / Significant differences were found between the assessments of instructor performance. Supervisor and student group assessments had the most significant variances in score. Instructor assessments had less dramatic, but statistically significant variances with the other two research groups. Supervisors routinely gave the highest scores; students rated instructor performance lower than the other groups. No specific demographic variable was identified as being related to high performance. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-12, Section: A, page: 4093. / Major Professor: William R.
