took the list of labelsand worked independently to group the labels together into categories. After these independentcategorizations were complete, a single researcher synthesized the four categorizations into asingle set of categorizations that best reflected the individual categorizations. Once thecategorization synthesis was complete, the researchers met again as a group to review, verify,and modify the categorization synthesis and concurrently develop the labels into a refined list of71 initial codes that described one or more excerpts and comprised the categories.Once consensus was reached, the categories were given descriptive names to becomesubordinate themes, or sub-themes [21]. Table 2 presents the sub-themes derived from

systems. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Academic Parallels from a Military Merit ListAbstract To explore the extent that military training can provide pedagogical insight, this research seeks todiscover relationships between classroom (on-campus formative assessment) and “real world”performance (summer training summative assessment) for Army Cadets. This analysis examinesdata from three years of one program’s Army Reserve Officer Training Corps participants. Weestablish what factors on-campus correlate to Cadet Summer Training success.The goal of this research is to spur a discussion about different assessments that could reflect real-world performance. Another goal of this

prize: the best plan would determine the winner’s side.Learners could present their solution in the manner of their choosing, from dramatic skit toslideshows. The proposed solutions were judged by the instructors and representatives from theDAF and included an intensive review and feedback session.The last day of the workshop – day 4 – was only available to DAF personnel and led by the DAF,comprising a reflection and application of the learned concepts to solve real and pressing DAF andDoD challenges. 3.3 Tailored materialsThree sets of materials were prepared, red team and blue team workbooks, and an extensivefacilitators guide. For learners, all activities were guided by the associated workbook, specificallydeveloped for each team (blue or

core values, the institution can prioritize the skills and knowledge thatare most important to them and their audience, and design microcredentials that reflect thosepriorities. For example, if an institution values innovation and cutting-edge technology, itsmicrocredentials should reflect that by incorporating the latest trends and technologies in the fieldof data science. If the institution values hands-on, experiential learning, its microcredentials shouldinclude opportunities for learners to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.Defining core values can also help to ensure consistency and coherence across differentmicrocredentials offered by the institution. Without a clear understanding of the core values andmission of

sources togather education benefits that are available to them at different times of their military service[22]. The significance of appreciating the various education funding streams and their limitationsis straightforward. First, it will allow higher education institutions and stakeholder communitiesto reflect on which support systems and policies meet the needs and characteristics of theseindividuals. Second, such reflection and assessment may guide the next steps in policy andpractice that address thematic barriers to college attendance and attainment for this population.Future work may include an examination of active duty and student veteran graduate students.There has been a growing body of work with a focus on undergraduate student
