The authors describe and discuss theoretical, methodological, and/or practical issues related to practitioner experience and activity in simulation training. The book also provides evidence on the conditions under which lived experience in simulation can foster or hinder learning, and derives appropriate orientations for simulation design and implementation.
Download or read book Simulation Fidelity in Training System Design written by Robert T. Hays and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business, academia, industry, and the military require well trained personnel to function in highly complex working environments. To reduce high training costs and to improve the effectiveness of training, training system developers often use sophisticated training media such as, simulators, videodisks, and computer-based instruction. The designers of these training media are continually striving to provide maximum training effectiveness at minimum cost. Although literature is available on the implementation and use of specific training media, there is little guidance on a major feature that is central to these media. All of these media present the learner with an interactive simulation of the real world. Effective training system design can be facilitated if the requirements of the real-world task are properly included in training. A conceptual bridge is necessary to link these actual task requirements to the characteristics of the training system. This book provides such a conceptual bridge.

Case studies demonstrate five specific theatres of professional practice - the nuclear-power industry, aeronautics, surgery, anesthesia and metallurgy – and then detailed analysis highlights the common factors and key results. The author’s background as a Human Factors Consultant, Physicist and Physiologist has enriched studies of humans in work situations, work organization and management and he has also been involved in pedagogical conception of experimental training on simulators based on his experience as a safety expert on nuclear power plant. The book is useful to practitioners, researchers and students, both in industry and in university. It is clearly cross disciplinary as it presents and discusses applications in engineering, professional practice (airline pilots) and medicine.
Download or read book Applied System Simulation written by Mohammad S. Obaidat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulation and molding are efficient techniques that can aid the city and regional planners and engineers in optimizing the operation of urban systems such as traffic light control, highway toll automation, consensus building, public safety, and environmental protection. When modeling transportation systems such as freeway systems, arterial or downtown grid systems, the city planner and engineer is concerned with capturing the varied interactions between drivers, automobiles, and the infrastructure. Modeling and simulation are used to effectively optimize the design and operation of all of these urban systems. It is possible that in an urban simulation community workshop, citizens can work interactively in front of computers and be able using the click of the mouse to walk up to their own front porch, looking at the proposed shopping mall alternatives across the street from virtually any angle and proposed bridge or tunnel and see how it can reduce traffic congestion. Buildings can be scaled down or taken out, their orientation can be changed in order to check the view and orientation in order to have better site with efficient energy-conservation. The stone or brick material on a building can be replaced by colored concrete, or more trees and lampposts can be placed on the site. Such flexibility in simulation and animation allows creative ideas in the design and orientation of urban sites to be demonstrated to citizens and decision makers before final realization.

Download or read book Simulation Training written by Leili Hayati Green and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Users play a key role in many training strategies, yet many organizations, which are directly or indirectly involved in training those who design and implement training programs, often fail to understand the users' perception after a simulation training implementation. In addition, there exists a lack of significant motivation to understand users' attitudes about acceptance, rejection, or integration of emerging simulation technology in training. Several factors are considered to contribute to the acceptance level of simulation training by the users, including cost, the existing training, certification policies, technical issue, and realism of training. Other contributing factors that shape users' attitudes about the use of simulators in training include, but are not limited to: values, concerns, effectiveness to teach the required skill, and the effect on the training outcome.In this research-based book, the author shares and discusses the lived experiences of medical simulation training users in decision making and non-decision making roles who had been involved in simulation training at least for one year. In addition, this book contains information about concepts of simulation training, a historical perspective of simulation technology across industries, and simulation training users' perceptions, their lived experiences, feelings associated with the experience, and interactions. The book discusses how those feelings, perceptions, opinions, attitudes, and interactions have evolved. The users' perception, beliefs, and feelings all affect their interpersonal dynamics, interactions, and communications during the adoption and implementation of simulation technology. Understanding medical simulation training through the users' perspectives can redefine how trainees communicate, interact, share, and learn in simulated environments. The identified factors discussed by users in this book help with the subsequent additions and modifications to the existing simulation training strategies in the medical field, which may be applicable to other industries. Simulation training supplements passive learning environments, which enables trainees to practice knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes acquired in a passive training environment, and empowers trainees to use their learned skills in real world situations.
Download or read book SIMSOC Simulated Society Participant s Manual written by William A. Gamson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2000-07-24 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official guide to SIMSOC, the dynamic group simulation game whose “potential for stimulating the learning process is staggering” (Teaching Sociology), in which players grapple with the challenge of governing society. In SIMSOC, players confront issues like abuse of power, justice, diversity, trust, and leadership as they negotiate their way through labor-management strife, political turmoil, and natural disasters. Success or failure is dependent upon decisions made by players and the creativity of the group—and every game is a teaching tool. To be successful, players must utilize every basic social process from cooperation and reward to threat and punishment. SIMSOC will make participants ask questions about social control, and bring everyday experience and deeper understanding to even the most arcane social and organizational theory. Included in this Fifth Edition of SIMSOC's Participant's Manual are instructions for playing, materials for play, study questions based on participation, and selected readings about simulation games, leadership, and social processes. New to the Fifth Edition are additional size levels to accommodate groups of up to ninety participants with simplified rules and readings by authors from Nicholas Lemann to Robert Putnam.
