• Description:
  While the debriefing literature has made clear the benefits of post-training review and feedback for trainees (e.g., Tannenbaum and Cerasoli, 2013), there appears to be little practical guidance on how to transform the wealth of information inherent in computer-based simulations into easily discernable, actionable feedback relevant to training debriefs. The present study takes an exploratory, research-to-practice approach to address this deficiency by using a mine emergency training simulation as a case study to determine some practical means of improving debriefing. This paper details the following steps of this exploratory process: (1) identify key features of successful debriefs by using relevant findings from debriefing and computer-based training literatures as an evidence-based guideline; (2) determine key trainee actions and behaviors as recorded by the Mine Emergency Escape Training (MEET) simulation, and finally, (3) determine relevant and feasible simulation variables that align with the debrief literature as suggested improvements to the current debrief program design. Future applications for mine emergency simulation training, debriefing research, and quantitative performance assessment in wayfinding tasks are discussed. [Description provided by NIOSH]
