DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): HAZMAT response teams operate in increasingly cognitively complex, mentally stressing, physically fatiguing, and dangerous environments. Yet training needs need to include faster and direct access to new technologies, more operations-level training for first responders, and to provide hands-on and in simulated settings. This Phase I effort seeks to address this need. The proposed effort will focus on examining feasibility in three areas: 1) training methodology; 2) simulation-games approach to HAZMAT training; and 3) instructional design authoring support. This will support the application of advanced training techniques using advanced technologies to develop expertise through complex problem solving for HAZMAT response teams. This will not only impact the type of training being provided currently but will serve as an important model for other areas of HAZMAT training. To achieve these goals, a combined research design will include both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The overall goal of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the training package developed using the problem-based and simulation-game (S/G) approach. Methods used will include cognitive task analysis with HAZMAT experts, expert reviews of the training package developed, as well as testing the training package with learners to examine complex problem solving and decision making skills. The relevance of this project to public health is that providing research-based training methods and technologies that not only improves current HAZMAT response teams' expertise in specific situations related to public health, but also provides tools to address create or modify training to address new threats by creating training that is adaptable and extensible. By providing HAZMAT response teams with advanced training techniques and technologies, we aim to increase their expertise, response time, and ability to address increasingly complex situations, such as the ones posed by terrorist threats. By providing training that produces highly effective HAZMAT response teams, we can provide greater safeguards to public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：Hazmat响应团队在越来越复杂，精神上的压力，身体疲劳和危险环境中运作。然而，培训需求需要包括更快，直接访问新技术，为急救人员提供更多操作级别的培训，并提供动手实践和模拟设置。我的努力旨在满足这一需求。拟议的努力将着重于研究三个领域的可行性：1）培训方法； 2）模拟游戏方法的危险品培训方法； 3）教学设计创作支持。这将支持使用高级技术的高级培训技术通过为Hazmat响应团队解决复杂的问题来发展专业知识。这不仅会影响当前提供的培训类型，而且将成为其他领域危险品培训的重要模型。 为了实现这些目标，合并的研究设计将包括定性和定量研究方法。这项研究的总体目标是确定使用基于问题的模拟游戏（S/G）方法开发的训练包的有效性。所使用的方法将包括与Hazmat专家的认知任务分析，开发的培训软件包的专家评论，以及与学习者一起测试培训包，以检查复杂的问题解决和决策能力。 该项目与公共卫生的相关性是，提供基于研究的培训方法和技术，这些方法和技术不仅可以改善当前的Hazmat响应团队在与公共卫生有关的特定情况下的专业知识，而且还提供了解决创建或修改培训的工具，通过创建可适应性和可扩展的培训来解决新的威胁，以解决新的威胁。通过为Hazmat响应团队提供高级培训技术和技术，我们旨在提高他们的专业知识，响应时间以及解决日益复杂情况的能力，例如恐怖主义威胁所带来的情况。通过提供产生高效Hazmat响应团队的培训，我们可以为公共卫生提供更大的保障措施。
