Transfer of Training of An Educational Serious Game: The Effectiveness of the CASHIER TRAINER

Abstract

In this study transfer of gaming is investigated for a particular case, the Cashier Trainer. This is an instructional simulation game with an intelligent tutoring system that can be done individually. Its purpose is to train new cashier employees. (Sitzmann, 201l). This is especially useful when conventional training, e.g. on-the-job training (OJT) does not provide suitable opportunities because ofrisks caused by errors, costs ofusing the 'real' system, legislation, sustainability, training scenario generation, or the limited availability of the operational environment . In OJT a supervisor usually coaches the learner while performing tasks in the real-life set-

“…Simulator research emphasizes ratios, including transfer of training experience to real scenarios. Using ToT and TER ratios, we can determine whether the simulator accomplishes the training task for which it was developed . This method of transfer validity has been used in medical education, surgical education, and in other industries, including flight and military training .…”

“…Using ToT and TER ratios, we can determine whether the simulator accomplishes the training task for which it was developed . This method of transfer validity has been used in medical education, surgical education, and in other industries, including flight and military training . Our study used an experimental-vs-control-group method of ToT and TER determination, considered the most appropriate for determination of validity…”

“…The use of simulators is supported by studies examining the comparison of, and transfer of skill training to, the real world . Combining skill transfer with training time provides an insight into the reduction of real-world training time . This has significant implications for cost-effectiveness and is particularly relevant considering the unknown long-term consequences of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on resident training disruption .…”
