Running head: INTRO TO SERVICE RIFLE SHOOTING i AN INTRODUCTION TO SERVICE RIFLE SHOOTING Robert B. Donoho Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION December 2016 Committee: Dr. Shelley Waltonen Moore, Chair Dr. Fei Gao INTRO TO SERVICE RIFLE SHOOTING ii ABSTRACT Dr. Shelley Waltonen Moore, Advisor This project utilized instructional design techniques to develop an online training program to teach gun safety and introduce people to the sport of military rifle shooting, using the AR-15 rifle. The online training course supports the mission of the Civilian Marksmanship Program; to promote marksmanship training and safety to United States citizens. Concerns regarding the efficacy of teaching marksmanship in an online format were identified and addressed. The ADDIE model of instructional design was used to create the three learning modules; Introduction to Service Rifle, the Fundamentals of Marksmanship, and Service Rifle Positions. Participants in the training included U. S. citizens with little to no shooting experience, who were motivated to acquire shooting skills and to begin competing in service rifle competitions. The online training was evaluated at multiple levels to gauge the reaction of the learners, to determine if learning objectives were met, to verify the training resulted in improved shooting ability, and to encourage learners to participate in service rifle competitions.
