Study Notes

ANSI Z490.1

ASSE serves as secretariat to the ANSI accredited committee that developed the American National Standard: Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training.
The number of this standard is Z490.1.

Analysis

Analysis includes validating training needs and objectives, assessing needs, or even if training is needed.

Design and Development

Design and Development incorporate identifying and assembling the methodology and materials needed to accomplish the training.
Design should be based on the findings of the analysis.

Implementation

Implementation involves performing the actual training activity, whether it's classroom instruction, self-paced, on-the-job, or other forms of training.

Evaluation

Evaluation is any process that determines if objectives were accomplished and desired outcomes were achieved.
Evaluation occurs after (and sometimes during) training.
Evaluation can feed into the next training cycle, testing participants at the end of training.

Establishing a Small Group of Subject Matter Experts

Establishing a small group of subject matter experts (at least 3) to discuss ways to resolve the problem and come to a consensus.

Objectives

Short objectives should be used at the beginning of a course.
Few details should be provided.

Types of Tests

Essay tests are still objective if the questions are limited to the objectives of the course.
Subjectivity may be involved in the grading but the test would be objective.
The interpretation of a philosophy is subjective to both the student and the instructor.

Instructional Material

The background and informational needs of the students.
An effective instructor must consider expertise with the instructional material.

Training Course Design

Consider the experience of the learners, so the learning can be more effective.
There are three major dimensions of brain function relating to learning:
- Cognitive - the preferred way information is processed.
- Affective - attitudes, motivation and values.
- Physiological/Perceptual - sensory modes of reception (Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic, and Tactile).
Learning refers to the sensory modes of reception (Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic, and Tactile).
Learning refers to the preferred way an individual processes information.

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes involve attitudes, motivation, and values relating to moods, feelings, and attitudes.

Instructor Roles

The instructor can set an absolute minimum prerequisite level of knowledge for all participants.
The Instructor has the ability to provide additional practice and activities of greater challenge when it is needed.

Methods for Facilitating Learning

Methods for facilitating learning should be based on a framework resting on four major elements of teaching-learning interaction.

Categories of Learners

Learners are often categorized into three categories:
- Navigators: Tend to be very good at networking.
- Problem Solvers: Demand order and structure.
- Engagers: Are passionate learners.

Metacognition

A learner that treats all information as important, becomes overwhelmed and feels flooded with new information has not mastered which metacognitive skill? - Selecting
The term(s) that describes the higher-level process that guides deliberate information processing activities is which of the following? - Planning, Selecting, Connecting, Tuning, Monitoring
Five terms to describe metacognitive skills of learners: Planning, Selecting, Connecting, Tuning and Monitoring

Learning Experiences

Engage with learners in direct experience and focused reflection to increase knowledge, gain skills and clarify values.
Facilitated and guided practice, reflection and evaluation are essential components of transformative learning.
There are three major stages in experiential learning:
- Sensory motor stage
- Pre-operational stage
- (Concrete) Operational stage
Formal (operational) stage, also known as the abstract level.

Learning Objectives

Learning objectives are sometimes divided into three types.
An objective beginning with a phrase, "Students will be able to..." is which type of objective? - Behavior, content or problem-centered objectives.

Instructional Design

Training design and delivery is critically important for a successful program.

Short-Term Memory

Short-term memory is a temporary storage location for information.
It will maintain information for 10 to 15 seconds if no action is taken to retain it.
