Abstract
The aim of this research is to assist the Royal Navy in the evaluation of team training. This has included providing the specification for T-TESS (Team Training Evaluation Support System) – a tool that assists training authorities, managers and/or practitioners who are not experts in statistical procedures with the identification of appropriate measurement data and data analysis. The ultimate aim is to incorporate T-TESS into future embedded training systems to facilitate the identification and analysis of a variety of sources of objective data (e.g. keystroke, head/eye-tracking, and on-line individual and task characteristics data). In the provision of support for training evaluation, though, the system is also of great value today. This paper therefore describes the development of T-TESS from both present and future perspectives. This development has included the identification of a theoretical model of the determinants of team training performance, the transformation of this theoretical model into a statistical model (derived using structural equation modelling procedures) to underlie the system, and the specification of the interface. Finally, an attempt to validate a subset of the statistical model is presented.
