Abstract

The present invention relates to a system of decision-making instructional process (DMIP) that provides decision-making instructional exercises i.e., real project-based scenario exercises for training employees or individuals in their work roles. The system is applicable to a wide range of industries, corporations, and governments. The system uses past projects to create exercises that simulate decision-making and analytical processes associated with work roles. The training process involves selecting a project that is neither too complex nor too simple, creating scenarios from actual content, identifying information gaps, and collaborating with other individuals. The training is delivered through various mediums such as printed copies, video games, or virtual reality. The system provides a cost-effective and efficient way of training employees prior to their start date, resulting in increased learning and improved decision-making skills.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method of training individuals to develop profession-relevant skills and knowledge, comprising:

creating, by an expert, one or more course materials with one or more scenarios as decision-making instructional exercises in a work role using available data of at least one completed project, thereby assisting learners in training and making decisions;
anonymizing, by the expert, the data of the at least one completed project to mask its identity to the learners, thereby enabling even a well-known project to become unrecognizable to the learners;
creating, by the expert, instructional data for instructors to guide the learners for solving the decision-making instructional exercises in the work role;
assigning the at least one course material to the at least one learner to train for the work role;
identifying, by the learners, information gaps in said one or more course materials, which allows the learners to make logical decisions and assumptions;
documenting, by the learners, logics and reasoning behind assessments and decisions for retrospective comparison of the decision-making instructional exercises included in the one or more course materials;
facilitating the learners to collaborate and respectfully argue their viewpoints on the respective decision-making instructional exercises to solve with each other in the presence of the instructor;
and
guiding, by the instructors, the learners in making the decisions according to the scenarios included the one or more course materials to solve the decision-making instructional exercises and creating a responsive learning environment where critical thinking is paramount to train the learners.

6 more elements

A system for training individuals to develop profession-relevant skills and knowledge, comprising:

a computing device having a processor and a memory in communication with said processor configured to store one or more instructions executable by said processor,
wherein said computing device is in communication with a server and one or more user devices via a network,
wherein when executed by said processor, said one or more instructions cause the system to:
create, by said processor, one or more course materials with one or more scenarios as decision-making instructional exercises in a work role using available data of at least one completed project, thereby assisting learners in training and making decisions;
anonymize the data of the at least one completed project to mask its identity to the learners, thereby enabling even a well-known project to become unrecognizable to the learners, wherein the data of the at least one completed project includes sensitive information, personal details, and project specifics;
create instructional data for instructors to guide the learners for solving the decision-making instructional exercises in the work role;
assign the at least one course material to the at least one learner to train for the work role through a user device;
identify, by the learners, information gaps in said one or more course materials, which allows the learners to make logical decisions and assumptions;
facilitate the learners to record logics and reasoning behind assessments and decisions for retrospective comparison of the decision-making instructional exercises included in the one or more course materials;
and
enable to the learners to collaborate and respectfully argue their viewpoints on the respective decision-making instructional exercises to solve with each other in the presence of the instructor through the user devices.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed on a computer, the computer is enabled to perform a training method applied to an electronic device comprising a touch display screen, and the method comprises:

creating, by said processor, one or more course materials with one or more scenarios as decision-making instructional exercises in a work role using available data of at least one completed project, thereby assisting learners in training and making decisions;
anonymizing the data of the at least one completed project to mask its identity to the learners, thereby enabling even a well-known project to become unrecognizable to the learners, wherein the data of the at least one completed project includes sensitive information, personal details, and project specifics;
creating instructional data for instructors to guide the learners for solving the decision-making instructional exercises in the work role;
assigning the at least one course material to the at least one learner to train for the work role through a user device;
identifying, by the learners, information gaps in said one or more course materials, which allows the learners to make logical decisions and assumptions;
facilitating the learners to record logics and reasoning behind assessments and decisions for retrospective comparison of the decision-making instructional exercises included in the one or more course materials;
enabling to the learners to collaborate and respectfully argue their viewpoints on the respective decision-making instructional exercises to solve with each other in the presence of the instructor through the user devices;
facilitating the instructors to guide the learners in making the decisions according to the scenarios included the one or more course materials to solve the decision-making instructional exercises and creating a responsive learning environment where critical thinking is paramount to train the learners;
and
revealing real-world decisions for the scenarios and comparing them to the learner's decisions, thereby providing a feedback that highlights areas of strength and potential improvement.
