Abstract

Expertise is typically associated with high levels of experience in a domain. However, studies have shown that expertise is not necessarily correlated with experience [1]. The purpose of this paper is to describe a strategy for developing and evaluating a cue-based training program that can be delivered by computer. We describe how scenarios were developed to assess expertise amongst neonatal nurses and then evaluated for efficiency by treating the scenarios as test items and using the psychometric technique known as Item Response Theory.
