Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Gordon, Sallie E., Babbitt, Bettina A., Bell, Herbert H. and Sorensen, H. Barbara (1994): Development of a Real-Time Simulation with Intelligent Tutoring Capabilities. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1247-1251.

Training programs for complex tasks are increasingly using simulations to provide transfer of training to the job environment without incurring high costs of on-the-job training. A second trend in training is toward the use of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) to provide individualized feedback to optimize training. Combining simulation with an ITS can be especially beneficial, but use of intelligent tutoring mechanisms such as expert systems is often difficult in a complex, real-time environment. In this paper, we describe the development of a proof-of-concept training program that combines F-16 flight simulation with an embedded real-time intelligent tutoring system. In the simulation, pilots learn the correct use of advanced fire control radar modes to locate and assess multiple enemy formations (search and sort tasks). The expert system monitors pilot behavior and verbal responses as the pilot flies the simulation. At certain critical points, if the pilot's performance has fallen outside of pre-specified parameters of "safe" behavior, the tutoring component stops the simulation and feedback is provided.

Babbitt, Bettina A., Krohn, Gregory S., Seven, Sally A., Spiegel, Douglas K., Nystrom, Charles O., Meister, David and Muckler, Frederick A. (1988): Innovative Approaches to Human Factors in Operational Test and Evaluation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1166-1168.

Each year, it would appear that more and more human factors specialists participate in and support system operation test and evaluation (OT&E). Collecting human factors data in OT&E is particularly exciting since this is often the first opportunity to see how the system works under conditions that approximate the eventual operational environment. It is also a time to see how well the human operator/maintainer can perform within the system, what human factors deficiencies exist, and how well the human-machine interface works to create effective system performance.
