A personal computer-based aviation training device (PCATD) was used to train 63 ab initio flight students. Thirty-nine foreign airline trainees and 24 students from the U.S. participated in approximately 10 hours of basic VFR training between the completion of their ground school course work and flight lessons. All PCATD training followed a strict syllabus and was instructor-led. After the completion of their PCATD training, students followed the traditional flight lesson syllabus and training performance was tracked up to private pilot certification. Dual flight hours prior to the first solo flight, landings prior to the first solo flight, dual flight hours between the first solo flight and private certification, and landings between the first solo flight and private certification provided dependent variables for this study. The results suggest that the PCATD training was effective in improving training performance for some students. Those most influenced were students who traditionally require substantially more training prior to solo and private certification than that called for by the syllabus used at the facility where this study was conducted. Results also indicate that, as expected, the PCATD exposure had the greatest impact on training performance prior to solo.

The Military

The costs of training devices and simulators have induced the military to formulate models for predicting the training effectiveness, including transfer effectiveness, of the devices during their design and development. Analysis of existing models compared them on the following dimensions: objectives, components, units of analysis, metrics, and development. Development included level of completion, validation, and automation. The models analyzed were those for predicting effectiveness or prescribing device characteristics rather than models for empirical evaluation of existing devices. Baseline models included the military Instructional Systems Development (ISD) model and the Navy's Training Effectiveness and Cost Effectiveness Prediction model. Other models were the Training Device Effectiveness model (TRAINVICE); Training Efficiency Estimation Model; training resource estimators; manpower, personnel, and training estimation models; multi-attribute utility estimation; and methods for specifying training device features. Most of the models were prescriptive, rather than predictive, of effectiveness. Few (including TRAINVICE) estimated transfer to the operational setting.

Purpose – This paper aims to analyse transfer of learning to workplace regarding to job-related training courses. Training courses analysed in this study are offered under the professional training for employment framework in Spain. Design/methodology/approach – During the training courses, trainees completed a self-reported survey of reasons for participation (time 1 data collection, N = 447). Two months after training, a second survey was sent to the trainees by email (time 2 data collection, N = 158). Factor analysis, correlations and multiple hierarchical regressions were performed. Findings – The results of this study demonstrate the importance of training relevance and training effectiveness in transfer of training. Results indicated that relevance, the extent training courses were related to participant’s workplace activities and professional development, positively influences transfer of training. Effectiveness, training features which facilitated participants to acquire knowledge and skills, also has a significantly positive influence in transfer of training. Motivation to participate and learning-conducive workplace features also have a positive influence in transfer of training. Originality/value – This study contributes to the understanding of transfer of learning in work-related training programmes by analysing the factors that influence transfer of learning back to the workplace. The study has practical implication for training designers and education providers to enhance work-related training in the context of the Professional Training for Employment Subsystem in Spain.
