摘要：	Skilled maintainers are being lost at a higher rate than average of all enlisted career fieldswithin the Air Force. Although incentive programs can provide some retention, attritionrates may continue to vary, placing the readiness of the warfighter in jeopardy.Additionally, the technologies used to train maintainers have evolved substantially,including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) solutions, among others. Thesetechnologies have recently demonstrated value as novel ways to increase trainingeffectiveness, providing avenues for maintainers to achieve greater skill levels at a fasterrate than traditional platforms. Through semi-structured subject matter expert (SME)interviews, this qualitative research investigated the relationships between trainingtechnologies, methods, and student learning objectives to build a tool for organizationsdeciding between training alternatives. The results provided important attributes oftraining system alternatives to use in a total value function for cost-utility estimation andinformation on common problems requiring a training-based solution. Key findings alsoincluded SME input about the best training technology combinations for each trainingmethod and data demonstrating that value is a function of learning objectives. Together,these findings give maintenance organizations an initial roadmap on how to decidebetween training system alternatives using the value-focused thinking (VFT) framework.
