How do I measure training effectiveness? What is a TEE (Transfer Effectiveness Evaluation)?
What is a Transfer Effectiveness Ratio? It is possible to evaluate training effectiveness based on the notion of transfer of training. Transfer of training is the extent to which the simulation system prepares individuals or collections of individuals for real world performance (Morrison & Hammon, 2000). A general transfer of training paradigm is the one commonly used in flight simulation, where a trainee is instructed in a flight simulator for a predetermined number of sessions, and then allowed to operate an actual aircraft under the guidance of an experienced pilot. The experienced pilot assesses the performance of the trainee and determines a positive or negative transfer of training (Martin, 1981). Evaluating the extent to which training with a simulator transfers to the actual task is often measured using a Transfer Effectiveness Evaluation (TEE). Most TEE’s involve both a learning experiment and a transfer experiment. Learning experiments are evaluations that quantify the amount
