Study Notes
Instructional System
- An instructional system consists of four phases: problem diagnosis, program design, program delivery, and program evaluation.
- A small pilot test may be conducted to validate the program before its full implementation.
- Training and development is a continuous process, and it's essential to revise and adapt to changing goals and situations.
HR Training and Development Methods
- Employee Orientation (Onboarding): provides basic background information, organizational culture, and HR subjects to make the employee feel welcome and start socializing with policies and procedures.
- Job Instruction: the trainer explains the job in sequence, demonstrates, and provides feedback to the trainee.
- Coaching (Understudy Method): the manager provides advice and feedback on the job to improve performance.
- Informal Learning (The Buddy System): employees learn from peers, with up to 80% of job learning happening informally.
- Project Teams (Action Learning): a temporary team works on real projects, and the results are taught to others.
- Mentoring: a figure provides career advice, demonstrates interpersonal and political skills, and monitors the trainee's progress.
- Apprenticeship: involves craft positions, on-the-job training, and a classroom component, lasting 2-5 years.
- Business (Management) Games: simulations of top management decisions, teaching how all functions fit together.
- Case Studies: in-depth descriptions of disguised organizations, allowing trainees to analyze and diagnose problems.
- Discussion Method (Incident Method): short, controversial scenarios spark discussion, and there are no "right answers."
- In-basket Exercises: prioritizing and responding to memos, phone messages, and letters, teaching time management and problem-solving.
- Sensitivity Training (T-groups): changes interpersonal relationships, using exercises, group analysis, and self-analysis.
- Lecture: an economical way to convey information, but lacks social interaction and individualization.
- Programmed Instruction (Auto Instructional Techniques): self-paced learning, using modules, computer software, and feedback.
- Role Playing: simulations where trainees learn by doing, developing interpersonal skills.
- Behavioral Modeling: trainees observe and practice model behavior, receiving feedback and praise, and transferring to the job.
Common Concerns and Suggestions for Improvement
-
A lack of ongoing measurement and revision in training and development programs.
-
Evaluation criteria: knowledge acquisition, changing attitudes, problem-solving skills, interpersonal skills, participant acceptance, knowledge retention, and knowledge transfer.
-
Big ticket training may lead to talent being poached by competitors.
-
Some consultants or trainers may be more interested in delivering their own program than sensing the organization's needs.
-
Training should produce improved performance, reinforced by subsequent rewards.
-
Efforts should be made to enhance the meaningfulness of programs.
-
Human Resource Development Principles:
- Distributed Learning: conducting the program over a long period to allow trainees to digest and apply the material.
- Rewards: trainees should see what's in it for them.
- Feedback: trainees need to know their progress and what mistakes need correction.
- Motivation: trainees must want to learn.
- Transfer: the training should apply to the job activities.
- Opportunity to Practice: trainees should be able to try the techniques they are being taught.### Learning from Multiple Sources
-
Increases the likelihood of effective learning by catering to an individual's preferred mode of processing information
-
Provides a broad base of support for key points, offering helpful reinforcement
Considering Individual Differences
- Intelligence, motivation, aptitudes, and interests of the trainee should be taken into account
- This approach acknowledges that individuals have unique characteristics that affect their learning process
