Study Notes
Learning
- Learning is the process of changing behaviors and attitudes.
- Nature versus nurture is a debate about how much of our behavior is innate and how much is learned.
Training
- Training is a methodical process to teach an organization's workforce.
- The goal is to improve on-the-job performance by providing new skills and knowledge through activities and instruction.
Development
- Development is a learning process driven by experience, expanding an individual's attitudes and task abilities.
- It focuses on preparing employees for future roles, broader than the demands of their current jobs.
- Development is considered strategic training as it helps employees grow in their careers.
Education
- Education is the process of broadening someone's or group's knowledge and skills with the aim of benefiting society.
Differences between Training, Development, and Education
- Training: Short-term, focused on specific tasks and job-related skills, aims to change knowledge, attitudes, and abilities.
- Development: Long-term investment in staff, broader than specific tasks, prepares employees for future roles.
- Education: A lifetime investment in self-growth, not necessarily job-related, focuses on general knowledge and societal contribution.
Principles of Learning
- Learning involves gaining knowledge, skills, and attitudes, leading to a change in performance.
- Memory: Key to acquiring and keeping knowledge.
- Understanding: Critical for real-world application of learned information.
Factors Affecting Learning
- Motivation: Essential for effective learning, encourages attention.
- Teacher/Peer Relationships: Can help students succeed.
- Resources and Time: Adequate resources and time are vital for learning.
- Mood and Surroundings: These impact learning and affect focus.
- Prior Knowledge: Influences how easily new information is acquired.
- Teaching method: How information is presented impacts learning.
- Perceived Relevance: Learning is more engaging and effective when perceived as valuable.
Seven Principles of Learning
- Utilize and Stimulate the Senses: Engage multiple senses for improved retention (e.g., 10% of what we read, 90% of what we teach).
- Recognize the Learning Curve: Recognize individual learning rates and that mastery takes time.
- Don't Abuse Attention Span: Attention is vital for learning and can be improved through motivation.
- Encourage Effective Use of Memory: Review information shortly after learning to enhance long-term retention.
- Motivate Learners: Make learning engaging and relevant to motivate learners.
- Accommodate Different Learning Styles: Learners have diverse learning preferences (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
- Ensure Effective Feedback: Feedback helps pinpoint areas for improvement, monitor progress, motivate, and strengthen learning.
Problem-Solving
- Requires combining rules and logic to handle complicated challenges.
Teaching and Learning Resources
- Identify resources needed to support learning (e.g., handouts, videos, digital resources).
- Ensure resources align with the chosen teaching methods for maximized effectiveness.
Instructional Methods
- Explanation and Demonstration: Crucial for explaining new topics.
- Interactive Techniques: Questioning, group work, and discussions help engage learners.
- Tips: Align methods with the subject matter and student needs, adapt techniques to match group dynamics and development stages.
Training Area and Resources
- Ensure the training area is suitable for the chosen methods and participants.
- Check seating arrangements, equipment, and resources in advance.
