Chapter 7 Traditional Training Methods
Objectives 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of presentational, hands-on, and group building training methods. Provide recommendations for effective on-the-job training. Develop a case study. Develop a self-directed learning module. Discuss the key components of behavior modeling training. Explain the conditions necessary for adventure learning to e effective. Discuss what team training should focus on to improve team performance.
Presentation Methods • Lecture • Audiovisual instruction
Variations of the Lecture Method • • • Standard Lecture Team Teaching Guest Speakers Panels Student Presentations
Hands-on Methods • • On-the-job Training Self-directed Learning Apprenticeships Simulation Case Study Business Games Role Plays Behavior Modeling
Process for Case Development • Identify a story • Gather Information – Interviews, library, the web • Prepare a story outline • Decide on issues • Prepare case materials
Apprenticeships • Training occurs both on and off the job • In the U. S, run mainly through unions • Strengths:Transfer of training, earn while you learn, trained for industry, up-to-date equipment • Weaknesses: limited access, sensitive to fluctuations in unemployment, variable quality
Apprenticeship Example • Plumbers-Pipefitters – Work 40 hours per week – Attend evening classes – 6 nights per month, 4 hours per evening • Year 1 – Basic math related to pipework – Isometric drawing and blueprint reading – Use and care of tools
Apprenticeships Example (Con’t) • Year 2 – City, State, Federal codes – Advanced blueprint reading and drawing – Shop – small piping project • Year 3 – Shop – work on heating equipment • Year 4 – OSHA regulations – Theory of refrigeration and air conditioning – Shop - welding
Simulation • System that duplicates the actions and responses of a piece of equipment or physical environment in which an activity will occur • Can use it to assess skill levels, encourage trying new skills, illustrate relationship between person and actions • Test decision-making • Reduce risk related to training
Applied Behavior Modification • • Step 1:Identify Specific Behavior Step 2:Measure, count, and Formulate Step 3:Perform the ABC Analysis Step 4:Action Plan and Strategies – – Positive Reinforcement Negative Reinforcement Extinction Punishment • Step 5:Evaluation of critical Behavior comparing Baseline versus after Action Behavior
Group Building Methods • Adventure Learning • Team Training • Action Learning
