Project Overview Project Vision
Developing an effective data-driven training strategy for mine supervisors.
Project MissionThe goal of this project is to examine and validate the mine foreman/supervisor Job Task Analysis (JTA) developed by the MSHA in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, and transition this JTA to an effective and efficient training strategy for mine supervisors.
6
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
The mission of the Mine Safety and Health Administration is “to administer the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) and to enforce compliance with mandatory safety and health standards as a means to eliminate fatal accidents; to reduce the frequency and severity of nonfatal accidents; to minimize health hazards; and to promote improved safety and health conditions in the Nation's mines.”
7
Problem Statement Mine supervisors are key personnel in
managing the mine’s safety and health program
Currently training lacks comprehensiveness Current training does not adequately address
the complexity of supervisory tasks
8
Design Methodology
This approach enables the developer to explore, enact, and evaluate the pedagogical models, instructional/learning strategies, and associated learning technologies using an iterative development process.
Integrative Learning Design Framework
9
Project Goals
Conducting a comprehensive performance and needs analysis of the current state of mine supervisor training
Conducting a cognitive task analysis of mine supervisory tasks to determine the cognitive domain type and level of these tasks
Proposing an appropriate training strategy and delivery approach
We have accomplished our stated project goals, which included:
Developing model training prototypes
Conducting formative evaluation
Revising our design approach based on subject matter expert feedback
Conducting usability testing
Compiling list of recommendations
Fall 2005 Spring 2006

Performance/Needs Assessment
Purpose Confirm the design team’s understanding of
MSHA’s vision of supervisory training development
Propose next steps
12
Performance/Needs Assessment
Data Gathering Extant Data Sources Stakeholder Interview Subject Matter Expert Interview Subject Matter Expert Questionnaire Section Foremen Survey
13
Performance/Needs Assessment
Drivers – Fall 2005 Access to industry
personnel Impending gap of
qualified personnel Critical role of the
mine supervisor Access to extant data
Drivers – Spring 2006 Visit to Mine Academy Access to Mine Academy

Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) training media

Performance/Needs Assessment
Barriers – Fall 2005 Project not
considered

Limited training

Limited training
content
Barriers – Spring 2006 Recent mine tragedies Cancelled mine visit Late contact with Mine
Academy SMEs Usability testing delay Limited access to
supervisor-specific procedural content
15
Performance/Needs Assessment
Findings A shortage of coal mining personnel has
created a lack of qualified mine foremen/supervisors
Smaller mining companies use outside educational resources to provide training opportunities
Larger mining companies have developed their own comprehensive training programs
Survey results indicated that target audience has access to the Internet

17
Learner Analysis
Purpose To determine the general and
specific characteristics of the learner audience
General characteristics Specific characteristics
18
Learner Analysis Primary Audience – the
learners Experienced Miner Seeking
Promotion Intermediate Miner Seeking
Promotion New Mine Supervisor
Secondary Audience – other mining personnel New Miners Veteran Mine Supervisors Trainers/Facilitators
19
Task Analysis
Purpose To determine what the person performing
the job in question actually does To determine what the person needs to
know in order to perform the tasks that define that job
20
Job Task Analysis (Generic JTA)+ Cognitive Task Analysis+ Prerequisite Analysis_______________________________
Task Analysis Results
Optimal knowledge and skills of a section foreman

Task Analysis – Duties
22
Instructional Objectives Conduct Pre-shift Examination
User will learn how to conduct a proper and thorough pre-shift examination, why it is conducted and any associated risks and how to implement appropriate controls.
Emergency and Unusual Situations User will explore proper procedures for
handling other unusual situations, any associated risks and how to implement appropriate controls.

24
Design Approach
Multiple level design approach is proposed to address the learning needs of mine supervisors. The components of the approach are: Distributed Learning Support System (DLSS)
Situated Learning/Cognitive Flexibility Hypertext
