Training Effectiveness and Cost Iterative Technique (TECIT). Volume 1. Training Effectiveness Analysis
Abstract
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.
