• Description:
  The purpose of this Bureau of Mines study was to assess the impact of four different instructional modes upon trainees' ability to don self-contained self-rescuers. The modes, designed to deliver the same prepractice instruction, were a computer-based training program, a structured lecture, a live demonstration, and a step-by- step hands-on talk-through. Two hundred forty-one subjects were assigned to groups that received their initial self-rescuer donning instruction by one of the four modes. The trainees' performances were then assessed using a number of different measures. It was found that delivery mode had a moderate initial influence upon how well people performed.
