The Training Effectiveness Algorithm.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cantor, Jeffrey A. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1988
Describes the Training Effectiveness Algorithm, a systematic procedure for identifying the cause of reported training problems which was developed for use in the U.S. Navy. A two-step review by subject matter experts is explained, and applications of the algorithm to other organizations and training systems are discussed. (Author/LRW)
