An innovative conceptual model for education and training on hybrid warfare

Abstract

This study aims to present an innovative conceptual model of learning, teaching, and training that appears to be applicable to the field of hybrid warfare. It is based on integrating three critical elements such as reference curriculum, teaching methodology, and online support capabilities. By using qualitative research through correlating critical analysis of relevant sources, logical scheme, and cognitive task analysis, each descriptive element is analysed in order to provide an eloquent image of the proposed conceptual model. Also, to gain real feedback on the proposed model as well as on its constitutive elements, the quantitative research using statistical data grouping is performed. The analysis and interpretation of the collected data demonstrate not only a high interest in the designed conceptual model, but also a positive impact at the level of each descriptive element on the academic staff and students from the military and civilian university environment.
