A Field Study on the Development of Team Training Systems (Een veldstudie naar de ontwikkeling van team training).
Abstract
Despite the acknowledgment of the importance of team performance and team training, relatively few endeavors have been undertaken to train teams in a systematic way excepting Crew Resource Management training). A possible explanation could be that there is no methodology to guide the instructional developers and trainers in designing, executing and evaluating team training systems. To ascertain which guidelines should be included in a methodology supporting the systematic development of team training systems, both a literature review and a field study have been conducted. In this report, the results of the field study will be discussed. After a brief introduction of the topic chapter 1, in chapter 2 the framework of the field study is described. Twelve interviews were conducted with persons of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal Netherlands Army, the Royal Military Police, and one civil organization. Information concerning team training simulators was obtained from an additional document study. In chapter 3 the results are presented, structured around the respective categories of questions: background information, organization and premises, analysis, design and execution, performance measurement and feedback, instructional methods and training devices, evaluation and maintenance, and concluding remarks. Based on the results, in chapter 4 the weak points in designing, executing and evaluating teem training are discussed. Chapter 5 concludes with an overview of proposed further research.
