Review of Critical Human Factors Issues for Aviation Team Training

摘要

This report reviews literature relevant to team training in complex environments. While technological developments allow for the training of higher- order cognitive skills in complex simulated environments, in the absence of sound learning methodologies, training systems may not fully achieve their desired objectives. There are relatively few attempts in the literature that focus on how best to use technology to support effective training, and little research effort has involved the use of technology in the development of effective training programs for teams rather than individuals. The effectiveness of team training systems, and specifically, the measures of team outcomes and team processes that could be used to measure team performance in distributed training, are also reviewed. Some areas for future research relevant to distributed team training are identified.
