Popis: Cockpit/crew resource management (CRM) training within the military has grown rapidly despite the paucity of empirical data linking CRM to mission performance. CRM training objectives (and course content) are often too vague to allow meaningful training evaluation within the context of traditional transfer-of-training paradigms. A multimeasure methodology that exploits all sources of archival and observational data within a training organization has the potential to advance training evaluation, particularly for crew-based skills such as CRM. This article discusses a variety of CRM data sources and presents findings using 2 of these sources: instructor comments in student training folders and over-the-shoulder observations of crews in tactical simulators. Instructor comments revealed that CRM problems early in training most frequently involve decision making and communication among crewmembers. Over-the-shoulder observations of experienced crews showed high correlations between independent ratings of CRM p...
