A Review of Flight Simulator Transfer of Training Studies

Author(s):

Often operational equipment is considered to be the most effective and valid training equipment. However, this is not true in every instance. In fact, sometimes it may be undesirable to use real equipment for training if suitable simulators are available. For example, the use of operational equipment has several disadvantages which include (1) high costs, (2) limitation on practice of varied aspects of tasks, and (3) safety hazards. Practical decisions in the use of training devices depend upon compromises between economic and training objectives. A trainer need not duplicate operational equipment to have training value. Technical reports pertaining to flight simulator transfer of training studies available from the Defense Documentation Center are reviewed.

Resumen:La transferencia de la formación, junto a los factores que la facilitan o la inhiben, forma parte de los retos a los que se enfrentan las instituciones universitarias. Teniendo como foco la formación en TIC que recibe el profesorado universitario, en este trabajo se analiza la influencia que tienen los factores relativos a la formación y al propio participante en la posterior transferencia al puesto de trabajo. Se ha llevado a cabo una investigación transeccional de corte correlacional en la que han participado 155 docentes de tres universidades catalanas que habían pasado por un proceso formativo en TIC. En cuanto al diseño de la formación, los resultados apuntan a que una formación diseñada según el contexto real de participante influye significativamente en la posterior puesta en práctica de lo aprendido. En cuanto al participante, los resultados sugieren que lo que influye en la transferencia es la capacidad de integrar tecnología, pedagogía y disciplina (TPACK). Se concluye el artículo con una serie de recomendaciones con ánimo de facilitar la transferencia de las formaciones en TIC que se ofertan al profesorado universitario. Abstract:The transfer of training is, together with the factors involved, one of the challenges that universities have to face. Focusing on the teacher training in ICT, in this work we analyse the role of individual and training design factors on transfer. A cross-sectional correlation investigation was performed, participating 155 teachers from three Catalan universities who had been trained in ICT. As far as the training design, the results show that a training designed according to the real context of the participant is the biggest influential factor on transfer. Also, the results suggests that the capacity of the participant to integrate technology, pedagogy and content (TPACK) is an influential factor on transfer. The technological competence, which is similar to instrumental ability, obtained the 4th position in the correlation analysis. This paper concludes with recommendations in order to facilitate the transfer of teacher training in ICT.

Flight simulator motion has been demonstrated to affect performance in the simulator, but recent transfer of training studies have failed to demonstrate an effect upon in-flight performance. However, these transfer studies examined the effects of motion in experimental designs that did not permit a dependency relationship to be established between the characteristics of the motion simulated and the training objectives or the performance measured. Another investigator has suggested that motion cues which occur in flight can be dichotomized as maneuver and disturbance cues, i.e., as resulting from pilot control action or from external forces. This paper examines each type cue and relates it analytically to training requirements. The need to establish such relationships in simulator design is emphasized. Future transfer studies should examine specific training objectives that can be expected to be effected by motion.

Some claimed cost, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness advantages of aircraft simulators for training are equivocal. Effectiveness of simulator training depends mostly upon the training procedures. Other factors alleged to influence the effectiveness of simulators vary in their demonstrated importance. These are considered in the contexts of physical simulation vs. psychological simulation, simulator fidelity and motivation, and pilot acceptance. One of the more costly areas of engineering development to increase fidelity of physical simulation is motion systems. No experimental evidence is available to show that simulator motion enhances transfer of training. Cost effectiveness has not been demonstrated for many interesting and attractive features that are standard trimmings on flight training simulators. The acquisition of simulators costing several times as much to own and operate as their counterpart airplanes may produce a backlash that will set back the desirable use of cost-effective simulators in reasonable research and training programs.
