Analyzing Research on the Role of Computer-Based Training Devices in Shaping, Measuring and Improving Teamwork Skills

1

Abstract

The article considers the influence of training on computer simulators on the development of teamwork skills of operators of complex systems, in particular, in aviation. The article substantiates the effectiveness of work on computer simulators for the formation of interaction skills in people with disabilities. A review of experimental studies demonstrating the positive impact of using computer simulators on the formation of skills necessary for teamwork: coordinated actions, communication, decision-making and situational awareness is presented. The analysis of methods for assessing teamwork skills is given and the realization of a hardware and software complex in the form of a simulator for training these skills and their quantitative measurement is described.
