In spite of its fundamental character (Neill & Wotton, 2011; Policard, 2015), the measurement of trainers' mastery in the context of debriefing activity has been the subject of little research (Wazonis, 2015; Bastiani, 2017). Some authors propose evaluation grids (e.g. Kautz et al., 2005; Koutantj & Sevdalis, 2007). However, the latter do not allow to determine a) the precise manifestations of the trainers' activity and b) to what extent the trainers' professional guiding gestures are implemented, c) whether they are carried out "at the right time" and d) which are the effects. This is the reason why we have developed a specific tool designed to observe and to formatively evaluate the activity of trainers in a training context. Taking the form of a guidance grid, called GG-12, the aim of this tool is to report on the practices made by debriefing trainers before and during training.
The GG-12 is based on an in-depth review of the French and the English literature through 10 databases (Google Scholar, ERUDIT, CAIRN, Pascal & Francis, OpenEdition, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, SSP and SUDOC). Its design is closely linked to the concepts of transfer (Merieu, 1994) and reflective practitioner (Derobertmasure, 2012), which have guided the development of an a priori effective model of the guiding trainers’ activity during debriefing (the Pyra-Debrief). More concretely, the GG-12 includes 12 guidance modalities (Policard, 2018), which are declined into interventions based on 5 types of behavioural signals (Poggi, 2003; Farouk et al., 2007; Dehon & Derobertmasure, 2011). This tool functions as a coding instrument, and the results obtained are then presented to the trainers in the form of a report, following the approach of Baco et al. (2021).
By providing a specific training and observation tool for post-simulation debriefing trainers, we are helping to fill a gap in the scientific literature and to improve trainers' practices.
