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

Childs, Jerry M. and Acton, William H. (1990): Training Requirements Development for the Theater Air Command and Control Simulation Facility (TACCSF). In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 1333-1336.

The purpose of this paper is to describe an abbreviated Instructional Systems Development (ISD) approach that was adopted to support identification of training requirements for two system management positions in the Theater Air Command and Control Simulation Facility (TACCSF). TACCSF is a large scale, man-in-the-loop air defense simulation facility located on Kirtland AFB, New Mexico. A tailored ISD approach was used to support the evaluation of existing training-related documentation and materials. A 41 X 64 cell Training Resources Matrix was generated. Training requirements were arrayed vertically and training resources were listed horizontally in the matrix. The matrix was used to help define and develop preliminary training requirements, resources, and training plans. Results of the analyses were useful, and would be improved by including more detailed information in the data base.
