Narrative:
Departed fll runway 9L with new first officer on IOE flying the aircraft. Received clearance to climb to 5000 ft. Approaching 5000 ft with a rapid rate of climb, autoplt on and autoplt in altitude capture mode, the new first officer pushed the IAS button which immediately canceled the 5000 ft altitude leveloff. I responded by disengaging the autoplt and autothrottles and manually taking over to stop the climb. We leveled off at 5300 ft and then descended back to 5000 ft. There were no comments from the controller nor were there any TCASII targets in our vicinity. I felt I reacted as quickly as I could but was unable to prevent the altitude overshoot. I again reiterated the importance of monitoring the FMA display and not making any inputs while in the capture mode.

Title: S80 FO ON IOE ACTIVATES IAS INSTEAD OF AUTOPLT ALT CAPTURE, AND THE ALT WAS OVERSHOT.
Narrative: DEPARTED FLL RWY 9L WITH NEW FO ON IOE FLYING THE ACFT. RECEIVED CLRNC TO CLB TO 5000 FT. APCHING 5000 FT WITH A RAPID RATE OF CLB, AUTOPLT ON AND AUTOPLT IN ALT CAPTURE MODE, THE NEW FO PUSHED THE IAS BUTTON WHICH IMMEDIATELY CANCELED THE 5000 FT ALT LEVELOFF. I RESPONDED BY DISENGAGING THE AUTOPLT AND AUTOTHROTTLES AND MANUALLY TAKING OVER TO STOP THE CLB. WE LEVELED OFF AT 5300 FT AND THEN DSNDED BACK TO 5000 FT. THERE WERE NO COMMENTS FROM THE CTLR NOR WERE THERE ANY TCASII TARGETS IN OUR VICINITY. I FELT I REACTED AS QUICKLY AS I COULD BUT WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT THE ALT OVERSHOOT. I AGAIN REITERATED THE IMPORTANCE OF MONITORING THE FMA DISPLAY AND NOT MAKING ANY INPUTS WHILE IN THE CAPTURE MODE.
