NAVY TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATION - (9) REFINEMENT AND EXTENSION OF MASTER

Under a previous effort designing and developing an augmented reality (AR) job performance aid, Mixed reality Adaptive Scaffolding Tool for Enhancing Readiness (MASTER), Design Interactive, Inc. established a pedagogical model for extended reality (xR)-based instruction grounded in learning-science based theoretical frameworks and developed a knowledge elicitation process and tool (EXTRACT) to capture critical tacit knowledge from expert maintainers. The components of MASTER provide a scientifically-grounded pedagogy for AR training and a mechanism to capture expert knowledge for job performance aids tailored for all maintainers. The proposed effort will extend the current MASTER pedagogy and EXTRACT knowledge elicitation tool to new organizations within the Navy and Marine Corps to enhance readiness across the enterprise. Refinement and Expansion of Mixed reality Adaptive Scaffolding Tool for Enhancing Readiness (RE-MASTER) will be used to capture crucial expert maintainer tacit knowledge and demonstrate how this knowledge can be immediately transferred into a job performance aid for other maintainers.
