Abstract

Simulation-based training (SBT) has a positive effect on learning. The aim of this study was to examine perceived learning of a command and control (C 2 ) team in a Swedish naval exercise conducted in two settings (low and high fidelity). The participants were part of the permanent C 2 team onboard a vessel in the Navy and could maintain their ordinary roles during the SBT. A within-group design was used whereby the C 2 team first took part in the low-fidelity setting followed by the high-fidelity setting. The questionnaires used in this study were developed based on the learning objectives for the exercise, and questions were asked as statements. The results indicate that SBT may constitute a learning opportunity. The conclusion of the research highlights the same learning effects in a low-fidelity setting.
