Key research themes

1. How can user-centered evaluation improve the usability and effectiveness of technical training manuals in safety-critical industries?

This theme investigates the importance of involving end-users (e.g., technicians, maintenance personnel) in the evaluation and development process of technical training manuals, particularly in sectors where safety and precision are paramount such as aviation. It focuses on identifying usability issues, user perceptions of manual quality, and how proactive user feedback can reduce operational errors, thereby enhancing training effectiveness and safety outcomes.

It focuses on improving training alignment with organizational and individual needs, increasing training participation relevancy, enhancing employee competency, and ultimately improving organizational performance through systematic, evidence-based training planning.

Key finding: Utilizing apriori association rule mining on a decade of employee training data, this study identified effective training co-occurrence rules with minimum support and confidence thresholds. The model facilitated data-driven,... Read more
