BT33 Training Effectiveness Analysis
Abstract
The BT33 is a Swedish-built Forward Observer (FO) trainer for institutional use. This training effectiveness analysis of the BT33 was initiated to validate the concept that FO training devices could yield training and cost savings benefits. It was a part of and contributed to the cost and training effectiveness analysis being conducted on a FO trainer under development in the United States for the unit training environment. The results of the study determined that the FO training device concept is valid. All the tested training programs employing the BT33 resulted in training that appeared overall to be as good as or better than the current training program. Of general research interest is the methodology developed to acquire student performance data on several indices and conditions and to evaluate and integrate these data into relative training effectiveness indices.
