This book was released on 1987 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research note reviews the formal predictive and prescriptive models of training effectiveness analysis and related Army guidance. Most of the models are concerned with the analytic formation of entire training programs early in the weapons systems acquisition process. Some models also include manpower, personnel, and human factors considerations. A number of models focus on the formulation of training devices and simulators. Computer Based Instruction (CBI) has not often included in early formulation of training programs for new weapons systems. Possible reasons for this finding are discussed. Most of the training program models also include a cost model, but the cost models are not necessarily adequate. The models concerned with training devices and simulators do not have associated cost models. The lessons learned included the following: 1) there are many useful models available for the formulation of training programs early in the weapons system acquisition process; 2) the validity of these models needs to be tested, recommendations are given for comparative validity studies; 3) models for training devices and simulators appear to need further development, related cost models, and validation; 4) further attention needs to be given to formal CTEA models for advanced phases of the weapons system acquisition process, and for non-system training.

Download or read book Optimizing Simulator aircraft Mix for U S Army Initial Entry Rotary Wing Training written by John E. Stewart and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Early fixed wing research demonstrated that potential cost and training benefits could be derived from simulation-augmented primary flight training. Unfortunately, more recent research in this area has been the exception, not the rule. This is especially true in the case of rotary wing (helicopter) aircrew training research. The present report reviewed the research literature on military aviation transfer of training (TOT) research, and examined the current U.S. Army Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) Program of Instruction. An in-depth review was also conducted on the recent IERW simulation research performed by the Army Research Institute (ARI) Rotary Wing Aviation Research Unit (RWARU). Review of the IERW TOT research showed that a combination of synthetic flight simulation and criterion-based training had the potential for saving training time and costs in the aircraft. Adaptive training aids such as the ARI RWARU Intelligent Flight Trainer, also showed promise. A research program, focusing on revising the current IERW program to optimize the use of simulation, was proposed. This program would include (a) criterion-based instructional strategies, (b) low cost simulation, and (c) investigation of different combinations of simulator vs. aircraft training events, in order to determine the optimal simulator/aircraft training mix."--DTIC.

Download or read book Transfer of Training Study of Emergency Touchdown Maneuvers in the AH 1 Flight and Weapons Simulator written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this report, researchers conducted a transfer of training study to investigate the effectiveness of the AH-1 Flight and Weapons Simulator (FWS) as a training device for the reacquisition of skills on five emergency touchdown maneuvers (ETMs). Twenty aviators assigned to operational aviation units served as subjects. All aviators received initial check rides in the aircraft and the FWS and were assigned to one of two groups on the basis of their checkride scores. The control group received training to proficiency in the aircraft on each of the five maneuvers and a second checkride in the FWS. The experimental group received training to proficiency in the FWS on each of the five maneuvers followed by similar training in the aircraft. Analysis of the initial checkride scores indicated that the aviator's skills were deficient on the ETMs prior to the study. They required extensive training to reach proficiency in the FWS but relatively little training to regain proficiency in the aircraft. Prior training in the FWS reduced the number of practice trials and the amount of flight training time required to reach proficiency in the aircraft. However, training in the existing FWS alone is insufficient for reacquisition of ETM skills to a standard of aircraft proficiency. In view of the prohibition on practice of ETMs in the aircraft, it is recommended that the Army initiate a product improvement program for the FWS. (sdw).

This book was released on 1988 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research note describes the effectiveness model of the Training Effectiveness and Cost Iterative Technique (TECIT), a new model concerned with the cost effectiveness of training devices and simulators (TD/S) at all phases of the life cycle development. Volume II describes the cost model. For the purposes of this study, the effectiveness of a training device or simulator was defined as a function of the following factors: safety, acquisition learning on the TD/S, transfer of training from the TD/S to an exercise on the weapon system during training, job or battle readiness, and the utilization ratio of the TD/S. A research strategy is outlined in the research note. This strategy considers cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, TD/S life cycle phases, and various validity designs (e.g. discriminant, concurrent, and predictive validity). Sampling of subject matter experts' opinions and TD/S is also considered. Also included in this document is a review of related models, including the Device Effectiveness Forecasting Technique (DEFT), Forecasting Training Effectiveness (FORTE), and Comparison Based Prediction (CBP). A comparison of model features is also included, along with sample questionnaires, and an illustrative data base. Keywords: Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), Cost and Training Effectiveness Analysis (CTEA), Training Effectiveness Analysis (TEA), Training devices, Simulators. (sdw).

This book was released on 1988 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research note discusses an important issue, the training of soldiers in the use of a weapon system, which is important to the operational cost and success of the system in the carrying out of its mission. Cost and Training Effectiveness Analysis (CTEA) models formalize the process of choosing among alternative training technologies by comparing the cost and training effectiveness of these technologies. In this report, an economic framework is presented for integrating cost and training effectiveness data for CTEA studies. The framework builds on transfer effectiveness models and offers a model for the effectiveness of cost-minimizing training technologies. The model is particularly well-suited to the selection of training technologies for tasks that are trained on weapons systems whose operation is costly or life threatening. The research note shows how cost data would be developed for the model in evaluating computer assisted instruction as a training technology for the M1 Abrams tank. Keywords: Army training; Training devices; Transfer of training; Operational effectiveness. (sdw).

Download or read book A User s Guide to the Technical Training Schoolhouse Model written by Thomas Manacapilli and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, RAND Project AIR FORCE studied the data systems used by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) to manage training costs and capacities. The schoolhouse model, developed to inform policy decisions regarding technical training pipeline issues, grew out of this study. The model examines resources used and training limitations encountered during the execution of a training program. At the same time, the AETC Studies and Analysis Squadron (SAS) built a similar set of planning and execution assessment tools. RAND and AETC SAS agreed to combine the schoolhouse portion of their efforts into one model. The purpose of this report is to provide front-end users of the schoolhouse model with a reference for collecting and implementing data; it also briefly describes the simulation model and its uses. The model is potentially useful for evaluating changes in production and resources, highlighting resource bottlenecks, providing insight into classroom details such as empty seats and the rate of individuals who prove ineffective in training, and changes in production resulting from changes in resources, course syllabi, and washback and attrition rates.

Book excerpt: This report gives a review and evaluation of literatuare in the field of costand training effectiveness as an introduction to considering ther development of a Cost and Training Effectiveness Analysis (CTEA) methodology for the Army's Training Extension Course (TEC) program. Five methodological requirements for a TEC CTEA are specified, and use of the methods of microeconomics and welfare economics to approach the methodological requirements is suggested. Finally, the logic of a TEC CTEA methodology under these precepts is discussed. (Developments and details are to be presented in a subsequent report.) Keywords: Army training; Costs; Performance.

Download or read book A Review of Models for Cost and Training Effectiveness Analysis CTEA written by Richard K. Matlick and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No methodology currently exists for Cost and Training Effectivenesss Analysis (CTEA) that: Is generalizeable to all Army systems and nonsystems; and Goes beyond the acquisition phase of systems to include the analysis of fielded systems. This project was to identify how these needs would be met through extension, development, or refinement of current methods. No current model or methodology lends itself to CTEA for developing and fielded systems, and to systems and nonsystems training. Therefore, a systematic approach to TEA was developed based on a family of submodels. Methods are available for accomplishing the processes embedded in some of these submodels. For other submodels, the required processes have been identified, but the development required of the specified methods was not within the scope of the current project. These findings, especially the systematic approach to identifying the appropriate CTEA model for a given problem, will be useful to training developers and researchers in this area. Detailed methods for performing some of new submodels developed in this effort await their application, and subsequent codification by analysts and researchers.
