Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective To examine visual analysis as a construct and to determine its contribution to performance during the training of ab initio trainee air traffic controllers. Background Controllers are heavily reliant on visual information and visual analysis is an ability that could assist them in this role. If visual analysis is related to training results, the selection and training of people with good visual analysis abilities could reduce training expenses and time. Method Three visual analysis instruments were administered to 54 pre-selected trainees during their first training course, and scores were compared with their training course results. Twenty-five qualified controllers also completed the visual analysis instruments for comparison with trainees. Results The visual analysis instruments correlated with the course average and 13 of the 15 course subjects and predicted up to 23% of variance on course subjects. Trainees who passed all subjects at first attempt performed significantly better on two of the visual analysis instruments than those who failed at least one subject or withdrew from the course. Qualified controllers obtained better scores on two of the visual analysis instruments than trainees. Conclusion Selection procedures could benefit from assessing visual analysis abilities.
视觉分析作为空中交通管制受训人员绩效的预测因子
摘要目的研究视觉分析作为一种结构,并确定其对空中交通管制员从头开始训练中表现的贡献。后台控制器在很大程度上依赖于视觉信息,而视觉分析是一种可以帮助他们发挥这一作用的能力。如果视觉分析与训练结果相关,那么选择和训练具有良好视觉分析能力的人可以减少训练费用和时间。方法对54名初试学员在第一次培训过程中使用三种视觉分析仪器,并与培训结果进行比较。25名合格的管制员还完成了视觉分析仪器,以便与受训人员进行比较。结果视觉分析工具与课程平均值和15名课程受试者中的13名相关,并预测了课程受试对象高达23%的方差。第一次尝试通过所有科目的学员在两种视觉分析工具上的表现明显好于至少一门科目不及格或退出课程的学员。合格的管制员在两种视觉分析仪器上的得分高于受训人员。结论视觉分析能力的评估有利于选择程序。
