Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Training Devices: Elaboration and Application of the Predictive Model

Abstract

The present report is concerned with the development of an updated form of the transfer of training model, and the synthesis of its components into a standardized method for its application. Major concerns are determination of the kinds of data necessary to apply the model, an assessment of the availability of the needed information, and the development of a feasible and reliable set of procedures for processing the data to generate predictions of potential training-device effectiveness. Section 2.0 outlines the rationale and development of the predictive model into its current form. In generating predictions about the training effectiveness of a given training device, the model combines data concerning the device's transfer potential, the learning deficits of the trainee population, and the extent to which the device incorporates various training principles and techniques which have been shown to have potential for enhancing training effectiveness. Section 3.0 of the report describes the detailed procedures that are necessary to generate predictions from the model. Procedural issues include: the data which are needed, as well as how they are to be acquired and processed.
