" Differentiation in Academic Management of Military Training Programs: A Comparative Study at the Armed Forces University ESPE.". RCUISRAEL [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.3, pp.119-143.

This research examined the differentiation in academic management of military training programs at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, using a comparative approach between specialized and non-specialized programs. The study analyzed the structure and characteristics of these programs. The results indicated that the military sciences program stands out for implementing a dual training modality, which entails a greater hourly workload and close academic collaboration with the Ministry of Defense. This modality, in which cadets alternate between academic studies and practical training, is unique when compared to non-specialized programs and is regarded as essential for ensuring the development of officers proficient in both military skills and academic competencies. Furthermore, it was observed that the academic management of the Military Sciences program is oriented not only toward the acquisition of theoretical knowledge but also toward the ethical and practical formation of future officers. The study concluded that this differentiation in academic management is fundamental to the preparation of competent officers. It also suggested that this differentiated approach could serve as a model for other higher education institutions interested in integrating academic education with practical skill development.
