Study Notes
Adult Learners Effective Training Techniques
-
Competency-based training is the most common safety training for adults. It involves answering three questions:
- What skills should trainees gain?
- What's the best way to teach these?
- How can success be measured?
-
Need assessment is crucial before any training program. It's a series of activities to pinpoint workplace issues that training might address.
-
AIHA outlines five steps for identifying a training need:
- Identify needs and performance gaps.
- Clearly define the problem (who, what, why, when, how).
- Determine the type of training needed.
- Prioritize the identified training needs (cost of training vs cost of ignoring the need).
- Present findings to management.
Learning Objectives
- Clearly defined learning goals and objectives are key for effective training.
- Objectives must be clear, measurable, and action-oriented to evaluate the training's effectiveness.
- Objectives should precisely describe the desired skills and behaviors, allowing employees and employers to understand the expected training outcomes.
Training Techniques
- Training activities need to support the learning objectives.
- Select training methods, materials, and resources that best convey the training message.
- Group or one-on-one training should be selected considering the audience's needs and skill level.
Helping Adults Learn
- Adults learn in different ways; they prefer informal, hands-on methods, observing, doing, and interacting with others.
- Training techniques should keep learners involved to ensure effectiveness
- The learning environment (classroom, equipment, instructor, etc.) impacts training outcomes.
Review of Selected Concepts in Safety Training
- "Validity" in safety training means identifying task hazards and required knowledge/skills for safe performance (e.g., handling corrosive chemicals).
- The "learning curve" in training implies that competency increases with training duration.
- "Role-playing" is a training technique where trainees act out scenarios to develop skills.
- "Meeting" or "conference" training can solve problems using group discussion and problem-solving.
- "Case study" training analyzes situations using examples to gain insights.
- There are three domains of learning:
- Cognitive (mental skills).
- Affective (emotional skills, attitudes).
- Psychomotor (physical skills).
