However, there has been little empirical evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of game-based training and to help leaders make decisions about their use. In response to the need for more evidence regarding the effectiveness of game-based training (GBT), an evaluation of training games supported by Virtual Battle Space 2 (VBS2): U.S. Army was conducted in operational settings. This report describes the methods, measures, and results of an evaluation with 165 Soldiers participating in GBT. Pre- and post-measures were administered that focused on measuring training effectiveness through individual level (e.g., task performance) and unit level (e.g., unit effectiveness) outcomes. Results demonstrate that, in general, the training influenced both individual (e.g., task performance) and unit level (e.g., unit cohesion) outcomes. In addition, situational characteristics (the amount the unit prepared for the training and the level of leader involvement during the training) influenced both types of outcomes."--DTIC.Contract or grant no. : W74V8H-04-D-0047 DO 0015.Mode of access: Internet.United States.Army.http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79063202http://id.loc.gov/rwo/agents/n79063202Military educationUnited StatesHistory20th century.Knerr, Bruce W.Orvis, Kara L.U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences.http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80021398http://id.loc.gov/rwo/agents/n800213983901508743154300936603920241218041313.020250726000000.020260307165459.02026-03-08T09:37:08Z2025-11-04T18:50:02ZSDR-MIUmiuALMAprepare.pl-004-009BKsdr-miu.990093660390106381MiUSDRMIU009366039mdp.39015087431543MIU990093660390106381MIUMIU20260308googlemdp.390150874315432010pdbibUS fed doc
