• Description:
  The purpose of this Bureau of Mines study was to assess the impact of three different instructional strategies upon trainee ability to don self-contained self-rescuers. The strategies, designed to deliver the same introductory content, were a live demonstration, a structured lecture, and a computer-based format. One hundred fifty-five subjects were randomly assigned to groups that had their initial donning instruction conveyed by one of the three strategies. The trainees performances were then assessed using a number of different measures. Its was found that delivery strategy had a modest initial influence upon how well people did, but that this effect tended to disappear after one initial hands-on experience. It was also noted that a significant amount of skill degradation occurred during the first 3 months following training. [Description provided by NIOSH]
