Task Analysis • The blueprint for training • Provides effective measurement of performance of every aspect of a particular job • Sets expectations for the employee and shows where performance can be improved • Areas for improvement create the goals for the training program North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -3
Task Analysis Includes: • Job title • Major tasks of the job • Sub-tasks • Qualitative standards • Quantitative standards • Skills and educational requirements North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -4
Task Analysis Includes (Cont’d): • Materials and instruments needed • Time-frames, deadlines • Limitations anticipated and to be overcome • Resources • Preferred methods • Other considerations North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -5
Task Analysis Provides: • Efficient measures of production • Accurate indicators of training needs • Instruments forecasting future production and needs • Sets expectations for each employee • Opportunities for employees to think about their job North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -6
Task Analysis Provides (Cont’d): • Fair methods of evaluating performance • Simple ways of documenting reports • Handy devices for filling vacancies • Elimination of “buck-passing” • Writing of instructional objectives North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -7
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) • A written procedure designed to review job methods, uncover hazards, and recommend safe job procedures North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -8
4 Steps in Developing the JSA 1. Selecting the job 2. Breaking down the job into a sequence of steps 3. Identifying potential hazards of each step 4. Recommending safe job procedures North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -9
The JSA Process Includes: • A listing of how the person performs the job one step at a time • A listing of potential hazards for each job step • What the person must do to avoid the hazard or accident North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -10
The JSA Process Includes (Cont’d): • A series of reviews by the operator, supervisor, and other operators plus supervisors with similar jobs • Specific recommendations for performing the job safely North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -11
Training and the JSA • The list of recommendations for performing the job safely form a set of goals for training sessions to be held • Problems to be resolved through training may be ranked in sequence based on: • • potential hazard liability productivity or greatest cost North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -12
Performance Objective • An objective is the desired outcome of a learning situation, stated in terms of observable behavior of the learner • The observable behavior is the exact performance that the learner is able to display as a result of a particular training process North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -13
Preparing Performance Objectives • Decide upon the goals to reach at the end of the program • Select procedures, content and methods that are relevant to the objective • Measure or evaluate the trainee’s performance according to the objectives or goals originally selected North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -14
4 Parts of an Objective 1. Learning 2. Behavior 3. Conditions 4. Performance level North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -15
Examples of Objectives Good Objectives Bad Objectives “The trainee will be able to correctly convert ten decimal numbers into the binary system in one minute. ” “The trainer will lecture on the number system. ” “The trainee will be able to compose one business letter every 15 minutes, with no grammatical errors. ” “The 20 minute video will teach ‘How to Compose Better Letters’. ” North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -16
Instructional Objectives: • Tell both teacher and examiners what is to be learned • Give directions to both teacher and students • Give the teacher a specific target North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -17
Statements of Objectives • Prepared statements of objectives are crucial to the success of training programs • When objectives are clear, the chances of misunderstanding are greatly reduced North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -18
3 Types of Objectives • Knowledge • Attitudes • Skills North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -19
Knowledge Objectives • Acquire knowledge • Comprehend • Apply • Analyze or • Evaluate North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -20
Attitude Objectives • Values • Beliefs • Appreciations • Interests North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -21
Skills Objectives • Application of knowledge and attitudes through behavior North American Transportation Management Institute, © 2021 3 -22
Measure of a Good Objective • If you provide another teacher with an objective, and he or she then teaches students to perform in a manner that you agree is consistent with what you had in mind, then you have effectively communicated your objective.
