项目摘要

This project is designing and implementing an innovative approach to improving the statewide training of wastewater technicians at the South Carolina Environmental Training Center. The integrative approach includes 1) cognitive task analyses of industry experts to elicit both explicit and tacit knowledge and skills as a basis for elements of mastery, 2) using instructional design principles to develop an authentic simulated practice system with embedded intelligent feedback, and 3) linking simulations to courses and curricula for an Associate Degree in Applied Science, for a workforce certificate program, and for continuing education courses for current wastewater operators.The project represents a flexible, next-generation solution to increasing training capacity, allowing extensive practice and problem solving in scenarios that include high risks and emergencies, and providing specific, tailored feedback to learners in authentic situations. Simulations are linked to instructor modules, allowing assessment of student progress and development of modified and novel scenarios. The project addresses the immediate technical workforce need brought on by impending retirements of wastewater operators. It is also providing an effective and scalable model for training workers from rural settings and/or nontraditional educational pathways that can ultimately be extended to other technical fields.

该项目正在设计和实施一种创新方法，以改善南卡罗来纳州环境培训中心的废水技术人员的全州培训。整合方法包括1）行业专家的认知任务分析，以引起明确的和隐性的知识和技能，作为掌握要素的基础，2）使用教学设计原则来开发具有嵌入式智能反馈的真实模拟实践系统，并将启用型号的拟型课程链接到一项旨在的学位，以促进一门学士学位，以促进一项旨在的学士学位，并为一项适用于科学的学位，并为工作学士学位提供了努力，并为努力提供了协会，并为工作范围提供了努力，并为努力提供了研究，并为努力提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为一项旨在的协会提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为努力提供了努力，并为促进了一项旨在的工作。运营商。该项目代表了一种灵活的下一代解决方案，以增加培训能力，从而在包括高风险和紧急情况的情况下进行广泛的实践和解决问题，并为在真实情况下的学习者提供特定的，量身定制的反馈。模拟与讲师模块链接，从而评估学生的进步以及修改后的新场景的发展。该项目解决了即将通过废水运营商的退休而带来的直接技术劳动力需求。它还为农村环境和/或非传统教育途径的培训工人提供了有效且可扩展的模型，最终可以扩展到其他技术领域。
