Training method

Abstract

A training system including a visual display, a computer, a mouse, and a keyboard for data entry into the system, such data entry including problems presented as situations/simulations tailored to the particular type of training to be conducted together with trainee responses to questions relating to such situations/simulations. In one embodiment, provision is made for the trainees to prepare and record their own narrative solutions to such situations/simulations, following which the system presents sets of multiple choice solutions and asks the trainees to select what they believe are the best solutions from among those that are presented. In another embodiment, the system requires a student to first complete a preliminary multiple-choice test before proceeding to preparing and recording a narrative description of his proposed solution to the indicated problem. The system critiques trainee selections and narrative responses. For each situation/simulation, if the trainee provides the optimum solution, the system identifies the reasons why that selection or narrative description is optimal and repeats the related situation/simulation at least once more after moving on to another situation/simulation before the training session is completed. If the optimum solution is not selected or provided, the system repeats its request for identification of the optimum solution, critiquing each answer until the correct one is provided.
