The study of how individuals organize knowledge has been a popular endeavor for several decades. As a result, techniques have been developed to assess how individuals represent and organize knowledge internally. Although several conceptual knowledge elicitation methods have been developed and used to assess the organization of knowledge, their use is often labor intensive and time consuming. Presented here is a software tool that was developed to reduce the problems associated with manually administering the conceptual knowledge elicitation technique, or card sorting. The TPL-KATS-card sort software not only simplifies the administration of the task, but also adds features to the card-sorting task such as media insertion, time stamping, and instructorless administration. In the present article, an introduction to the card-sorting technique is provided, the new software tool is described, and the advantages of the software are detailed.
Card sorting and concept mapping are two popular techniques used for assessing structural knowledge. However, manual administration of these tasks has been cumbersome in the past. This demonstration serves as an introduction to the TPL-KATS – Card Sort and Concept Map software tool developed at the Team Performance Lab at the University of Central Florida. TPL-KATS is presented as a possible solution to the problems of manual administration. The software contains computerized versions of both techniques, with automatic administration and scoring capabilities. This demonstration provides an introduction to the card sort and concept map tasks, and describes the basic need for this software tool. A full description of TPL-KATS – Card Sort and Concept Map software is presented, along with a demonstration of its advantages over current techniques.
Line-Oriented Simulation (LOS) is a scenario-based training and evaluation methodology used at airlines to provide trainees with practice, to evaluate their performance, and to validate their proficiency. LOSs consist of realistic flight simulation scenarios from preflight check to after-landing shutdown that are highly scripted.From 1997 on, the Federal Aviation Administration has suPt_rted the development of software for " 'Rapidly Reconfigurable Event Set-Based LOEs (RRLOE). ""In this method, LOSs are created by combining phase-based event sets into a coherent and logical flight. The method is computerized, supports LOS development, and reduces the predictability of scenarios for the trainees. In 2000, the RRLOE software was distributed to airlines participating in the Advanced Qualification Program.In this demonstration, we describe the challenge of automated scenario design further, and show how the RRLOE tool can assist those that develop scenario-based training. HARD-ANDSOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Remediation modes, flights created in the Training Mode are not logged in a file. The RRLOE software was created in Microsoft Access Finally, _ntenance Mode functions include adding, ('97 or 2000) with Visual Basic functions. The hard-and editing, and deleting data required by the RRLOE software software requirements are: (such as event sets, navigational, route, and weather • PC with Pentium 166 MHz processor or higher information), setting difficulty range and maximum attempts, • 32 MB RAM or more and security functions such as adding/editing users, resetting • 73 to 291 MB of hard disk space to install the Office passwords, defining user groups, etc. '97 or Office 2000 components plus approximately 20 MB for the RRLOE sottware and its libraries RRLOE PAPERWORK • CD-ROM drive • Super VGA video adapter supporting at least 640 x The RRLOE generates LOS scripts that contain the main 480 resolution (1024 x 768 recommended) information required by an instructor/evaluator. The scripts • Mouse are in genetic format that can be exported into other programs such as MS Word for further formatting and customization. • Any 32-bit Microsoft OS (Windows '95, '98, 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher) The following information is contained in the scripts: • Microsoft Office '97 or Office 2000 _(MSAccess '97 • An overview of the skill areas and event sets or Access 2000 required).Simulator setup information, such as location, lat/long, weather, and any start-up malfunctions MODES• Scripts for all air-traffic control-related communications, including radio frequenciesThe RRLOE software has four modes, organized by * Navigation information required for departure access rights of users and the functions users can perform, procedures, arrival procedures, and basic information The Operation Mode is the main mode for the creation of for approaches (frequencies, missed approach LOEs and the development of RRLOE paperwork.
