Training Performance Measurement with Schema and Mental Rotation Test

Abstract

Training was a crucial technique for skill development and basic foundation of learning in manufacturing while the traditional way of training selection was to trial-and-error those training methods to see its performance which take cost and time. The purpose of present study was to preliminary investigate the training performance measurement using cognitive schema and mental rotation test in camera assembly tasks with basic training and physical training condition for production staffs. 180 novice participants performed in this study. Results revealed that both cognitive schema and mental rotation test could significantly distinguish training performance between basic and physical training condition in the same direction. The implication of this study was on the measurement that could shorten the time and reduce cost in estimating the performance of each training method which could be used to support decision making. Discussion was provided.
