Study Notes
Training and Education Methods
-
Six key principles for adult training design and delivery:
- Personal experience is crucial for learning.
- Learning is driven by needs and personal satisfaction.
- Adults are independent learners.
- Protecting learner self-esteem is vital.
- Adults have diverse expectations about training.
- Adults have varying learning style preferences.
-
Adults learn best through a combination of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities.
Audience Analysis
- Variety and relevance are essential for learner attention and motivation.
- Analyzing the target audience helps identify common trends and potential barriers.
Goals and Learning Objectives
- Goals describe the overall intent and scope of a course (generally not measurable).
- Objectives define specific measurable, observable, and attainable actions learners should perform after training.
Training Needs Assessment
- Identify what needs to be taught.
- Assess learner knowledge and skills.
- Determine what subjects should be taught.
- Identify the required resources
- Plan for reinforcement activities
- Establish a schedule for practice and training.
Methods of Assessment and Data Collection
-
Two methods of assessment:
- Direct: Evaluating trainees through observation, tests, quizzes, or projects.
- Indirect: Assessing through employee feedback or supervisory evaluations.
-
Identifying behavioral performance issues
-
Evaluating training effectiveness
-
Identifying aspects of the training, that need revision or improvement.
Training Development
- Need assessment: Determine the need for training.
- Learning objectives and prerequisites.
- Training design: Methods, content, materials, environment).
- Trainer qualifications.
- Evaluation of effectiveness.
- Revisions and continuous improvement.
Comparing Popular Training Methods
- Traditional classroom training: In-person sessions.
- On-the-job training (OJT): Learning through hands-on experience.
- Online training: Learning delivered remotely.
Training and Learning Curves
- Learning curves are exponential, indicating that practice leads to faster and more proficient skill development.
- Effective presentations include clear organization, visuals, and consideration of learner preferences (e.g. visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
- Training is more effective if it integrates concepts with existing knowledge.
- Use of tools (e.g. presentations, case studies, and analogies) for facilitating learning comprehension.
Active Learning
- Active learning focuses on learner participation rather than passive instruction.
- Emphasizes real-world problems and projects to engage and stimulate learners.
- Balancing different learning styles and methods promotes better comprehension and retention.
- Active learning methods involve conducting group discussions, role-playing, and problem-solving exercises, which helps to cultivate knowledge and skill development.
Multidisciplinary Teamwork
- Effective approaches to safety engineering projects are structured within broader business plans.
- Management and employees benefit from collaborative environments.
Interpersonal Communication
- Teams contribute positively in problem-solving and decision-making.
- Teamwork is the blending of talents and ideas, resulting in greater achievements.
Conflict Resolution
- Conflict is normal in teams but should be constructively addressed.
- Several approaches can be taken to resolve conflicts, such as compromising, collaborating, or avoiding.
Mentoring
- Mentors provide support, guidance, and encouragement for mentees.
- Mentorship enhances confidence, job satisfaction, and personal development.
Role Ambiguity
- Ambiguity in role expectations hinders effective performance.
- Clarity in role expectations improves performance.
