TRAINING PROCESS AND TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS
Introduction
Training can be described as “the acquisition of skills, concepts or attitudes that result in improved performance within the job environment”. Training analysis looks at each aspect of an operational domain so that the initial skills, concepts and attitudes of the human elements of a system can be effectively identified and appropriate training can be specified.
Training analysis as a process often covers:
* Review of current training * Task analysis (of new or modified system) * Identification of training gap * Statement of training requirement * Assessment of training options * Cost benefit analysis of training options
Training Analysis is most often used as part of the system development process. Due to the close tie between the design of the system and the training required, in most cases it runs alongside the development to capture the training requirements.
Design Integrated Training Analysis
K Tara Smith proposed and developed tools and methods for an integrated approach Design Integrated Training Analysis, where the trade-offs between design and training are both assessed in the light of the understanding of the operational tasks.
This approach also used information regarding recorded critical incidents to review proposed training and to provide traceability between hazards and training.
This single integrated approach to human factors and training analysis has been successfully used on a number of defence projects.
Training Analysis Process
Over the last 20 years the critical nature of the man-in-the-loop has changed from simply manual dexterity and procedural operation to a state in which their decision making, cognitive abilities, data assimilation, communication skills, and attitude are all crucial. In addition the job structure of the personnel operationally involved with modern systems has diversified in direct proportion to the
