摘要: |
The Transportation Statistics Office (TranStat) of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) provides training for district data collection technicians in both office- and field-based Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI) methods. The current training program, which has been primarily conducted in a traditional classroom environment, has been in effect for two and one-half years and trains an estimated 60 district (FDOT/consultants) employees each year. The courses include basic to advanced data collection methods. The training has not been evaluated for effectiveness based on instructional design standards and theory. And, it requires considerable cost in travel, materials, planning and scheduling. Due to budget constraints the agency needs to provide a more cost effective delivery method using modern technologies. This research project focuses on the development of an instructional design strategy to improve the effectiveness of the RCI training while reducing its cost. The research will provide FDOT with a plan for developing a more effective curriculum using a competency-based approach that focuses on job performance outcomes and a new method for delivery. |
