Human Factors in Training
Mission Statement

Objectives

  • Provide a mechanism for the exchange of technical information concerning methods, tools and strategies for training and development.

  • Enhance bench-level coordination among government agencies researching, developing and applying training and development principles, guidelines, and technologies.

  • Identify gaps in the state-of-the-science and the state-of-the-practice relevant to training and development to push research agendas across the services.

Scope

This SubTAG will concern itself with the following topics:

  • Training

  • Human Factors/Human Systems Integration Considerations in Training

  • Learning Theories

  • Task Analyses

  • Needs Assessment

  • Training Effectiveness and Evaluation

  • Training Methods & Strategies

  • Technologies for Training and Development

The scope of this SubTAG is not limited to these examples and there are times when topics may overlap with that of another SubTAG. In such cases, the chair of this SubTAG will consult the chair of the affected SubTAG to deconflict talks and/or hold a joint session as necessary. This SubTAG will sustain a free exchange of information with other organizations and will cooperate with them.

Function

The subtag will implement its objectives by pursuing these functions: (a) serving as a forum or clearing house for the exchange of ideas and information about the latest work done or in progress in the training and development areas and (b) providing an interface group for the development of joint support for research and development efforts which would be beyond the capacity of any individual sponsor.
