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)：危险物质反应小组在日益复杂的认知、精神压力、身体疲惫和危险的环境中工作。然而，培训需求需要包括更快、更直接地获得新技术，为急救人员提供更多操作级培训，并提供实际操作和模拟环境。这项第一阶段的工作旨在满足这一需求。拟议的工作将集中在三个方面的可行性：1)培训方法；2)模拟游戏方法进行危险物质培训；以及3)教学设计创作支持。这将支持应用先进的培训技术，利用先进的技术，通过解决危险物质反应小组的复杂问题来发展专门知识。这不仅将影响目前提供的培训类型，而且将成为其他危险物质培训领域的重要模式。 为了实现这些目标，综合研究设计将包括定性和定量研究方法。本研究的总体目标是确定使用基于问题和模拟游戏(S/G)的方法开发的培训包的有效性。使用的方法将包括与危险物质专家进行认知任务分析，对制定的培训方案进行专家审查，以及与学习者一起测试培训方案，以检查复杂问题的解决和决策技能。 该项目与公共卫生的相关性在于提供以研究为基础的培训方法和技术，这些方法和技术不仅可以提高当前危险物质应急小组在与公共卫生有关的具体情况下的专门知识，而且还提供了应对新威胁的工具，即创建或修改培训以通过创建可适应和可扩展的培训来应对新威胁。通过为危险物质反应小组提供先进的培训技术和技术，我们旨在增加他们的专业知识、反应时间和应对日益复杂的情况的能力，例如恐怖主义威胁造成的情况。通过提供培训，培养出高效的危险物质应对团队，我们可以为公众健康提供更好的保障。
