Development and Content Validation of Crisis Response Training Package Red Cape: Crisis Action Planning and Execution

Abstract

Military and civil crisis response organizations need training which accelerates the development of expertise in effective and efficient interagency cooperation and collaboration. The development of such training necessitates the use of a cognitive task analysis (CTA) method which can draw upon distributed expertise to understand not only current but future task conditions. A newly developed CTA method known as the Flexible Method of CTA (FLEX) was applied to the domain of crisis response and resulted in the training program known as Red Cape: Crisis Action Planning and Execution. Quantitative assessments of the training content validity were elicited from seasoned crisis response personnel. Analysis of the assessments supports the use of FLEX in developing crisis response training. Proposed extensions and refinements of existing content validation procedures are also discussed.
