Integrated Training and Performance Support for the Objective Force - 0 views

shared by Kyle Murley on 27 Sep 09 - Cached
  • Electronic performance support may take many forms
  • automated cognitive decision and planning aids
  • communication and service support aids
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Electronic performance support should “decrease task complexity and execution times to improve performance while minimizing sensory, cognitive, and physical demands on the soldier”
  • collaborative, distributed problem solving aids, and tools for terrain and automated pattern analysis
  • Before identifying the training and performance support needs, there must be a general understanding of what each term means. The problem is that there is much confusion and disagreement over what the terms “training” and “performance support” mean and how they are different.
  • Training provides the user with required knowledge along with practice and feedback in applying that knowledge in order to reach task proficiency. Training is used to support initial acquisition of skill performance as well as for sustaining or refreshing such performance.
  • training can be accomplished through various methods (e.g., simulation, computer-based, classroom instruction), the method of primary interest here is embedded training
  • Performance support, on the other hand, presents the appropriate information, at the appropriate time (i.e., during task performance) and level of specificity, using techniques appropriate to the user’s ability and needs
  • refined the definition of embedded training as follows: training provided by capabilities built into or added onto operational systems to provide, enhance, and maintain the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to enable task performance.
  • The training may not necessarily be fully embedded in each FCS platform. In fact, it most likely will not be. Instead, it will reside on operational networks and each platform will have the capability to access and download information and software as needed. Training will thus be embedded fully in the network; it is not umbilical to the network since network connections (wired or wireless) are an inherent part of the system of systems.
  • For the user, differentiation of the location of software and information is not important, since it will be transparent. However, from a systems design perspective, the systems will operate much more efficiently and effectively, since everything will be available from a central location or hub.
  • although embedded training is considered effective and acceptable by users, few valid and reliable data exist on its cost and effectiveness.
  • some students may not take full advantage of exploratory opportunities, no matter what the method of training. While these students cannot be forced to make use of the available opportunities, future research needs to determine how best to persuade students that these opportunities are to their advantage.
  • Electronic Performance Support Systems Review The term EPSS was first coined by Gloria Gery. She defined it as a computer-based system that includes access to information, guidance, advice, assistance, training, and tools to enable performance with minimum support from other people (Gery, 1991)

Use of Embedded Performance Support Tools and Its Relationship to the Effectiveness and... - 0 views

  • Support tools embedded in self-instruction help learners practice the performance of the task they are learning in the instruction

      w00t!
  • job aids are used to "direct immediate performance...when the need to know arises," whereas instruction "usually happens before a need arises and builds the capacity of the individual"
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • job aids and performance support tools are not designed to help people learn
  • Self-instruction might be made more effective if learners can be persuaded to spend more time on learning tasks
  • this might be done is by embedding job aids or performance support tools in the instruction
  • monitoring and regulating devices were embedded
  • merely including hypertext links in a hypermedia self-instructional course did not by itself increase the time learners spent on the instruction
  • support tools enabled learners with field-dependent and field-independent learning styles to achieve equally well
  • Performance support tools that provide relevant information may help learners with internal locus of control learn the content better
  • embedded in the target course
  • likely to influence student satisfaction
  • performance support tools
  • additional and summative supporting material provides variability, which maintains the learner's interest
  • supporting material both summarizes information the learner is already familiar with
  • injects additional material that is relevant to the content of the course
  • connecting the material to the learner's experience in the course
  • Spending more time on task in a hypermedia program because of manadatory note-taking resulted in significantly higher achievement scores than those who were not required to spend time taking notes
  • embedding performance support tools in instruction that can later be used on the job is supported by the M.A.S.S. model of transfer

  • Training improves multitasking performance by increasing the speed of information processing in human prefrontal cortex.
  • task performance deteriorates when we attempt to undertake two or more tasks simultaneously
  • extensive training can greatly reduce such multitasking costs

    For my dissertation I looked at how people use paper-based performance support tools during unsupervised practice of a complex cognitive task. \n My research interests include performance support, distance education and the design of web-based educational systems.\n

    This is a fine example of analysis in action. From performance, to subject matter, task, and goal analysis - they're all here in an applied example.
  •  
    This is such a great resource for clear and specific examples of the different types of analysis. It's a shame that the tables were so hard to read- it needs a little love... I'd be happy to help out if anyone wants to fix those margins and table widths over Winter Break or something. (Not right now, though! First things first!) I don't think it would take much time to fix if a couple of us worked on it together.

  • 2007 was Linda Stone’s notion of “continuous partial attention,
  • multitasking a “mythical activity in which people believe they can perform two or more tasks simultaneously.”
  • ADT is “purely a response to the hyperkinetic environment in which we live,”
  • “Attention Deficit Trait,”
  • workers took an average of twenty-five minutes to recover from interruptions such as phone calls or answering e-mail and return to their original task
  • “task-switching”—that is, multitasking behavior—the flow of blood increases to a region of the frontal cortex called Brodmann area 10
  • the last part of the brain to evolve, the most mysterious and exciting part
  • rather than a bottleneck in the brain, a process of “adaptive executive control” takes place, which “schedules task processes appropriately to obey instructions about their relative priorities and serial order,
  • with training, the brain can learn to task-switch more effectively
  • people who are not distracted show activity in the hippocampus, a region involved in storing and recalling information
  • people who are distracted or multitasking show activity in the striatum, a region of the brain involved in learning new skills
  • Media multitasking—that is, the simultaneous use of several different media, such as television, the Internet, video games, text messages, telephones, and e-mail—is clearly on the rise,
