Training Effectiveness Assessment of Red Cape: Crisis Action Planning and Execution
Abstract
The crisis response training program Red Cape: Crisis Action Planning and Execution uses theme-based training and multimedia scenarios to instill expert thinking patterns in crisis response personnel. The training program was assessed in workshops conducted with the Army National Guard. Quantitative data indicate that cognitive performances, reflected in both independent and self assessments, improves as a function of training. Furthermore, as training progressed, inflation in self-assessments decreased, indicating more accurate self-assessment of cognitive performance. Participant feedback from the participants indicates that the training program was seen as useful, efficient, and effective in improving crisis response cognitions.
