Study Notes
Adult Learners Effective Training Techniques
- Competency-based training is a common method for adult learners. It involves three key questions:
- What skills should trainees have after training?
- What's the best way to teach those skills?
- How can you measure learning success?
- A "need assessment" is crucial before any training program to identify workplace issues where training is needed.
- The AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) suggests a 5-step process for identifying training needs:
- Identify needs and performance gaps.
- Clearly define the problem (Who, What, Why, When, How).
- Determine the type of training needed.
- Prioritize training needs (cost of training vs. cost of ignoring the need).
- Present findings to management.
- Learning objectives are essential and should be clear, measurable, specific, and action-oriented.
- Training techniques should support objectives, using suitable methods, materials, and resources. Consider the group size (one-on-one or group) and learner skills.
Helping Adults Learn
- Adults learn best through active participation, observation, questioning, and interaction.
- Training methods should be engaging and tailored to adult learning styles. The learning environment (physical classroom, access to audio-visual materials) also greatly impact learning.
- Adult learners generally appreciate enthusiastic and well-organized instructors.
Review of Safety Training Concepts
- Validity in safety training focuses on hazard identification and required knowledge for safe task performance.
- Learning curve in training suggests increasing learning with time.
- Role-playing allows trainees to practice and observe different roles/scenarios, helping them learn better on the job.
- Meeting/conference training techniques encourage group problem-solving approaches.
- Case study methods focus on how others have handled similar situations, but might not always translate directly to the workplace.
-
Learning Domains:
- Cognitive: Mental skills.
- Affective: Emotional development (attitude).
- Psychomotor: Physical skills.
