- Motivation is driven by needs and personal satisfaction
- Adults are independent learners
- Protecting self-esteem is critical
- Adults learn in a variety of different ways
- Adults have preferences in learning styles
- People learn best through one of the senses or a combination
- Visually
- Auditorily
- Kinesthetically (hands-on activities)
Audience Analysis
- Variety and relevance are required conditions for gaining learners' attention and stimulating motivation
- Analyze information to find common trends
- Identify and address potential barriers
Goals and Learning Objectives
- Goals describe the overall intent of a course (broad statement, not measurable)
- The purpose of the course
- Objectives specifically describe what trainees will be able to do after training.
- Learning conditions
- How learners will demonstrate competency
- Measurable, observable, and attainable
- Courses can have many objectives
Training Development
- Assessment of the need for training
- Learning objectives and prerequisites
- Design of training course delivery
- Methods
- Content
- Instructional materials
- Physical environment
- Trainer qualifications
- Evaluation of effectiveness
- Criteria for completion
- Strategy for evaluation
- Written tests
- Oral tests
- Demonstrations
- Completion criteria
- Continuous improvement
Methods of Assessment and Data Collection
- Direct methods evaluate trainees by examining empirical data (attitudes, behaviors, etc.)
- Indirect methods include asking employees/supervisors about their learning
Behavior and Performance Modification
- Determine if training is needed to solve problems
- Training needs assessment used to determine which subjects should be taught
- Performance assessment
- Evaluate the course of action
Determining Solutions
- Develop possible solutions
- Considerations of feasibility, cost and impact
Training Needs Assessment
- Determining what should be taught

Executing a Training Assessment
- Defining the purpose of assessment
- Preparing a list of the careers to be taught
- Gathering data and identifying subjects
Audience Analysis
- Gathering detailed information from learners about their prior knowledge, attitudes, interests, and preferred learning methods
Training and Learning Curves
- Training is done for the purpose of behavior change, increasing knowledge or improving performance, helping reduce incidents and increasing efficiency or reducing costs
- Training should ensure that all possible training and non-training solutions are considered.
- Learners usually learn more quickly with practice to master a skill and perform it efficiently
Learning Curve
- A learning curve is usually exponential
- The more practice, the more quickly skills are performed efficiently and with higher quality
Presentation Tools
- Well-organized material is easier for the learner to retain and recall
Active Learning/Role playing
- Active learning is more effective than passive teaching.
- Role playing is very good and is very useful in conflict resolution
- Active learning techniques are more effective when learners store and remember information
- The characteristics of active learning includes
- Using real-world problems
- Balance of elements (cognitive, behavioral, motivational)
- Design of courses for different learning styles
- Providing experiences and chances for people to share knowledge and experiences, -Building concepts from prior knowledge,
- Focuses on helping learners to solve their problems
Comparing Popular Training Methods
- Traditional classroom, on-the-job and online training
- Decisions on methods based on a comparison of cost versus benefits
Training Cost

- Interactive group activities and exercises can help members familiarize themselves with each other and their needs
- The instructor can use exercises, introductions and group norms to facilitate harmony among team members
- Group norms help maintain harmony to prevent interruptions and encourage respectful communication
Multidisciplinary Teamwork
- Safety engineering is managed and structured within the context of business plans
- Effective planning, allocation of resources, and performance measurement are part of safety engineering work
- Life cycle framework, early integration, risk management, decision points, performance assessments, and continuous improvement
Conflict Resolution
- Conflicts on a team are not unusual, can actually improve the team by fostering a better understanding and more teamwork
- Various approaches to resolving conflicts (forcing, compromising, avoiding, accommodating, collaborating-problem solving)
