Abstract
Various research has been conducted to enhance the employees’ visualization skills in different areas and the importance and the role of visualization skills towards the employee’s achievement, especially in the industry such as manufacturing, medical, oil and gas field, and many more. To improve visualization skills, the use of effective training methods and tools should be applied to facilitate and enhance the understanding and performance in general, in a way to help them solve problems at the workplace. Thus, the aim of this paper focuses to the attention on the practical use of augmented reality (AR) with the ability of digital mobile application in the crude oil refinery process within the oil and gas industry environment, describing the potential and the effectiveness of the technology to enhance the visualization skill among the technical employees. This study used Basic refinery courseware that can be accessed via digital network to give an interactive training experience that can enhance technical employees' visualization skills. This courseware shows the positive effect and impact on technical employees’ visualization skills and performance based on the results. The results have also shown an increased motivation, making them more cooperative and developing visualization skills more quickly. Considering these results, it can be concluded that Basic Refinery training courseware based on augmented reality application is an effective and beneficial tool to be applied in training programs among the workplace's technical employees.
Highlights
Visualization is an effective method for learners to attribute concepts and to establish correlations between concepts [1]
Basic Refinery Courseware is used as a training tool for the experiment group consists of 30 technical employees, while the current training module will be used for the control group consists of 30 technical employees as respondents
The researcher found that the use of Basic Refinery courseware during the training can be seen as a practical approach to improve visualization skills among technical employees
Summary
Visualization is an effective method for learners to attribute concepts and to establish correlations between concepts [1]. [2] highlighted the objective of visualization is when human use visual perception of information to enhance of cognitive abilities. It is capable of processing visual signals quickly, and advanced information technology has turned the computer into a powerful tool for managing digital information. Visualization improves human’s abilities about abstract thinking [1]. Concepts affects human’s thinking worlds and cognitive development positively. The main intention of visualization is to ensure students learning on how to think visually by using visual models to improve their understanding on the topics. The training tools that is currently being used does not support the enhancement of technical employees’ visualization skills
