Measuring Learning and Performance in Collective Training Exercises
Abstract
The goal of the research described in this report was to develop a proof-of-principle scoring system that can be used to evaluate training effectiveness across diverse scenarios. The focus was on supporting evaluators as they evaluate and track unit performance across scenarios. The report describes the products of the research as well as the insights and lessons learned. A scoring system with a computer interface suitable for a hand-held computer was developed and tried out with Infantry subject matter experts acting as evaluators observing virtual scenarios. The try-out provided empirical data on the utility of the scoring system and on desired improvements. Based on feedback from the try-out, the scoring system was revised. The report contains findings and lessons learned that can guide future efforts to automate evaluator and Observer/Controller (O/C) support tools.
