Abstract
The Collaborative Development of Expertise (CDE) program was created to support transfer of knowledge and skill from experienced personnel to trainees in on-the-job settings. Thirty-six active-duty Naval Air Defense Coordinators (ADCs) were recruited from Combat Information Centers on board AEGIS-class cruisers. The experimental group received a workshop, practice, and coaching in the CDE program. The control group did not learn CDE during the evaluation, relying upon current Naval training practices. Measures were developed to evaluate how CDE impacted mission debriefs between a trainer and trainee, and trainee on-the-job performance. Analysis of mission debriefs showed that CDE trainers and trainees discussed more of the cognitive challenges associated with the ADC position, and used more expert training and learning strategies than did control group participants. Expert ADCs, blind to experimental condition, rated CDE trainee performance as higher than the control group. Limitations of the study and future development objectives for CDE are offered.
