EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING: CTRAIN

说明： 美国公司每年花费550亿至600亿美元来提供近2 为大约6000万名员工提供了10亿小时的培训。超过100个OSHA 工作场所标准已经确定，需要培训以最大限度地减少 有患病或受伤的风险。然而，健康和安全专家几乎没有 低成本地提供有效的定制培训工具，以确保 完成时的能力，并可以很容易地修改。我们已经开发出，作为一个 填补这一空白的工具，cTRAIN，一个基于计算机的培训计划，它是 以行之有效的行为训练原则为基础。CTRAIN由两个 以计算机为基础的培训计划，教授信息和“屏幕构建器” 用于输入内容以创建新程序的开发环境。它 具有直观的导航和操作、自动(计算机生成) 所有文本均可持续提供英语或西班牙语口语开/关选项 (以适当的语言输入)加上语音记录选项(允许 其他语言)、自我调整、对测验项目的即时反馈和后测 以及一份简单的业绩报告。作为对培训计划的补充， 经久耐用的“9BUTTON”响应输入装置，不会让受教育程度较低的人望而却步 (计算机键盘也是如此)，以及键盘选项。一个系统的 CTRAIN作为一种干预技术的有效性评估(NORA 优先)将评估多数和少数(拉丁裔)工人的基本 包含在培训计划中的培训原则(例如，具体与 一般反馈、计算机生成的语音与录制的自然语音)。重合 通过这些实验，新的cTRAIN程序(危险通信、锐化 处置、实验室安全、眼睛和拖拉机安全)将按内容发展 专家并对教育有效性进行审查(与 制定了行为训练原则)和适当的内容。新的 然后，将向#年的白人和拉丁裔志愿者员工介绍这些计划 教育、建筑、医院和托儿所(农业)(Nora优先事项： 特殊人群)。培训后学到的知识(能力)和3 几个月后将通过后测试进行评估(以评估保留率) 与前测(相同测试)进行比较。培训的有效性将会 还可以通过测量培训后的行为变化来进行评估 在训练前测量的相同行为。此外，反馈将是 从内容专家那里获得灵感，以评估采用 以计算机为基础的培训计划和“屏幕构建器”环境。

DESCRIPTION: US corporations spend between $55 and $60 billion per year to provide almost 2 billion hours of training to an estimated 60 million employees. Over 100 OSHA workplace standards have been identified that require training to minimize the risk of disease or injury. However, health and safety specialists have few tools to inexpensively produce effective and customized training that ensures competency at completion, and can be readily revised. We have developed, as a tool to fill this gap, cTRAIN, a computer-based training program that is founded on proven behavioral training principles. cTRAIN consists of both the computer-based training program to teach the information and a "screenbuilder" development environment for entering content to create new programs. It features intuitive navigation and operation, automatic (computer-generated) spoken English or Spanish as continuously available on/off options for all text (entered in the appropriate language) plus a voice recording option (allowing other languages), self-pacing, immediate feedback on quiz items and a post-test with a simple report on performance. Complementing the training program is a durable "9BUTTON" response input unit that does not put off the poorly educated (as do computer keyboards), as well as a keyboard option. A systematic evaluation of cTRAIN's effectiveness as an intervention technique (NORA priority) will assess, in majority and minority (Latino) workers, the basic training principles which are built into the training program (eg, specific vs. generic feedback, computer-generated vs. recorded natural speech). Coincident with these experiments, new cTRAIN programs (hazard communication, sharps disposal, lab safety, eye and tractor safety) will be developed by content experts and reviewed for both educational effectiveness (consistency with established behavioral training principles) and appropriate content. The new programs will then be presented to volunteer Caucasian and Latino employees in education, construction, hospitals, and nurseries (agriculture) (NORA priority: special populations). Learned knowledge (competency) after training and 3 months later will be assessed with the post-test (to assess retention) as compared to the pre-test (same test). The effectiveness of the training will also be evaluated by measuring behavioral change after training as compared to the same behaviors measured prior to training. In addition, feedback will be elicited from content experts to evaluate the potential for adoption of the computer-based training program and the "screenbuilder" environment.
