A FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED SIMULATION TRAINING FOR COMPLEX POLICE SITUATIONS Tor Söderström and Jan Åström, Umeå University, Sweden; Greg Anderson, Justice Institute of British Columbia, Canada The article reports progress
concerning the design of a computer-assisted simulation training
(CAST) platform for developing decision-making skills in police
students. The overarching aim is to outline a theoretical framework
for the design of computer-assisted simulation training to
facilitate police students’ development of search techniques in
complex interactions within the built environment, learning to apply
and perform the five “quick peek” techniques for information
gathering and subsequent risk evaluation. The article draws on
Luckin’s (2010, 2008) ecology of resources model of learner context,
informed with perspectives on reflective thinking from Schön (1983,
1987). The article discusses design issues within the ecology of
resources model applied on CAST for complex police situations. |
