摘要:The aim of this quantitative, non-experimental, survey-based study was to examine to what extent there wasa statistically significant relationship between participation in a cross-border collaboration crisis exercise andexperiencing perceived levels of learning and usefulness. This study reports on the data collected from a jointNorwegian–Swedish maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) collaboration exercise in April 2017. The instrumentused was the Collaboration, Learning and Utility (CLU) Scale. The study showed that the inclusion of collaborativeelements in the exercises contributed to perceived learning (R=0.47), and that learning, in turn, contributed toperceived usefulness (R=0.62).This study recommends a further focus on collaboration developing elements duringexercises, including preparing for the unexpected and providing even clearer collaborative instructions.
