Human Centered Performance Assessment Tools

Micro Analysis & Design, Inc (MA&D) proposes to apply our experience and technology to develop integrated methods and tools for creating, assessing and analyzing measures of team performance and effectiveness during training events. The proposed approach will develop a prototype for integrated, human-centered software tools that will support the development of assessment measures and an online diagnostic assessment capability for team performance. The proposed software tools will allow the training community to construct performance measures for both human and automated assessment, collect performance information from various sources, evaluate performance, analyze performance to assess essential competencies, and recommend and support development of training interventions such as feedback delivery and customizable debriefs. Key elements of the proposed approach include integrating assessment information automatically generated from the training environment with performance information generated by expert observers during training sessions, developing diagnostic profiles of individual and team performance and competencies, and developing performance models to support automated online assessment.
