CHAPTER 4



LEARNING AND TRANSFER OF TRAINING

2 TYPES OF TRANSFER OF TRAINING: GENERALIZATION

a trainees ability to apply what they learned to on the job work problems and situations that are similar but not the same to what was learned during training

MAINTENANCE

the process of trainees continuing to use what they learned over time.

REINFORCEMENT THEORY

emphasizes that people are motivated to perform or avoid certain behaviors because of past outcomes that have resulted from those behaviors.

SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY

people learn by observing other persons whom they believe are credible and knowledgeable.

GOAL SETTING THEORY

assumes that behavior results from a persons conscious goals and intentions.

GOAL ORIENTATION

the goals held by a trainee in a learning situation

LEARNING ORIENTATION

relates to trying to increase ability or competence in a task

ALDERFERS NEEDS THEORY

focused on physiological, relatedness, and growth needs. people will try to satisfy the lowest needs first than go up.

McCLELLAND THEORY

this theory focused on needs for achievement, affiliation, and power

EXPECTANCY THEORY

a person's behavior is based on three factors expectancy, instrumentality, and valeance.


EXPECTANCY


INSTRUMENTALITY


VALEANCE

link between trying to perform a behavior and actually performing


performing a behavior is associated with an outcome


the value that a person places on an outcome



ADULT LEARNING THEORY KNOWLES MODEL

1. adults have the need to know why they are learning something


2. a need to be self directed


3. adults bring more work related experiences


4. adults enter a learning experience with a problem centered approach to learning


5. are motivated to learn by both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators.

TRANSFER OF TRAINING THEORY

is more likely to happen when a person works on tasks during training that are similar to the work environment

CLOSED SKILLS

refers to training objectives that are linked to learning specific skills that are to be identically produced by the trainee on the job

OPEN SKILLS

general learning principles ie customer service, not one right way to do it.

THEORY OF IDENTICAL ELEMENTS

transfer of training occurs when what is being learned in the training session is identical to what the trainee has to perform on the job.

IDENTICAL ELEMENTS

training environment is identical to work environment

STIMULUS GENERALIZATION

general principles are applicable to many different work situations

COGNITIVE THEORY

meaningful material and coding schemes enhance storage and recall of training content

LEARNING STRATEGIES: REHEARSAL

learning through memorization





ORGANIZING

finding similarities and themes in the training material

ELABORATION

relate the training material to other, more familiar knowledge, skills, or behavior

OBJECTIVE

the purpose and expected outcome of training activities

OBJECTIVE THREE COMPONENTS

1. what the employee is expected to do


2. the quality or level of performance that is acceptable


3. the conditions under which the trainee is expected to perform the desired outcome

MASSED PRACTICE

those in which individuals practice a task continuously, without resting

SPACED PRACTICE

individuals are given rest intervals within practice sessions

WHOLE PRACTICCE

all tasks or objectives should be practiced at the same time

PART PRACTICE

an objective or task should be practiced individually as soon as each is introduced in the training program

CHAPTER 5 PROGRAM DESIGN


THREE PHASES OF THE PROGRAM DESIGN PROCESS

PRETRAINING, LEARNING EVENT, POST TRAINING

CONCEPT MAP

concepts in boxes with the relationships between the the concepts connected by lines

APPLICATION ASSIGNMENTS

assignments in which trainees are asked to identify work problems and apply training content to solve them

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

skills needed to manage a team of people and resources to create a learning solution.

DETAILED LESSON PLAN

the content and sequence of training activities into a guide that is used by the trainer to help deliver the training

LESSON PLAN OVERVIEW

matches major activities of the training program and specific times

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)

a document that outlines for potential vendors and consultants an overview of services the company is requesting.

ACTION PLAN

a written document that includes the steps that the trainee and manager will take to ensure that training transfers to the job

PERFORMANCE SUPPORT SYSTEM

is a computer application that can provide skills training, information access, and expert advice.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

process of enhancing company performance by designing and using tools, processes, systems, structures, and cultures to create, capture, share, and use knowledge

CHAPTER 6 TRAINING EVALUATION

EVALUATION DESIGN

collection of info including the who, what when how that will be used to determine the effectiveness of the program

FORMATIVE EVALUATION

evaluation of training that takes place during program design and development.

SUMMATIVE EVALUATION

refers to an evaluation conducted to determine the extent to which trainees have changed as a result of participating in the training program

REACTION OUTCOMES

the trainees perceptions of the program, including the facilities, trainers, and content

COGNITIVE OUTCOMES

are used to determine the degree to which trainees are familiar with the principles, facts, techniques, procedures, and processes emphasized in the training program

AFFECTIVE OUTCOMES

includes attitudes and motivation

CRITERION CONTAMINATION

refers to the extent that training outcomes measure inappropriate capabilities or areaffected by extraneous conditions


CRITERIA DEFICIENCY

failure to measure training outcomes that were emphasized in the training objectives

DETERMINING WEATHER OUTCOMES ARE APPROPRIATE. 4 CONSIDERATIONS

relevance, reliability, descrimintion, practicality

THREATS TO VALIDITY

factors that will lead an evaluator to question either 1) the believability of the study results 2) evaluation results are generalizable to other groups of trainees and situations.

PRETEST/POST-TEST

an evaluation design in which both pretraining and post training outcome measures are collected

COMPARISON GROUP

a group of employees who participated in the evaluation study but do not attend the training program.

HAWTHORNE EFFECT

employees in an evaluation study performing at a high level simply because of the attention they are receiving.

TIME SERIES

an evaluation design in which training outcomes are collected at periodic intervals both before and after training

BIG DATA

complex data sets developed by compiling data across different organizational systems including marketing and sales, human resources, finance,etc..
