Calculating the relative effectiveness of expert coaching, peer learning, and cascade training
A formula for calculating learning efficacy, (E), considering the importance of each criterion and the specific ratings for peer learning, is: $latex \text{Efficacy} = \frac{S \cdot w_S + I \cdot w_I + C \cdot w_C + F \cdot w_F + U \cdot w_U}{w_S + w_I + w_C + w_F + w_U}&s=3$ This abstract formula provides…
