Exam 2 Flashcards
Generalization
applying knowledge to similar situations
Maintenance
continuing use of new capabilities overtime
Action Plan
Goal –> strategies to reach goal–>strategies for getting feedback–>expected outcome
Near Transfer
trainees ability to apply learned capabilities EXACTLY to the work environment
Far Transfer
trainees ability to apply learned capabilities to the work environment, even though the work environment is not identical to the work environment
Theory of Identical Elements
proposes that TOT occurs when what is being learned in the training is identical to what the trainee has to perform on the job
Cognitive Theory of Transfer
depends on the trainees to retrieve learned capabilities. The emphasis is on meaningful material and coding schemes enhance storage and recall of training content.
Self management Strategies
1) Determining degree of support and negative consequences in work setting for using newly acquired capabilities 2) Setting goals for using learned capabilities 3) Applying learned capabilities to the job 4) Monitoring use to learned capabilities on the job 5) Monitoring use to learned capabilities
Climate of Transfer
Refers to the trainees’ perceptions about wide variety of characteristics of the work environment that facilitate or inhibit use of trained skills/behaviors
Peer Support
Support network among trainees; trainees could use successful experiences in using trained content on the job.
Manager Support
Emphasize importance of training to employees, and stress the application of training content on the job.
Technological Support
Use of Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS) which can provide: 1) Skills training 2)Information Access 3) Expert Advice 4) Can provide trainees with an electronic info source that they can refer to on an as needed basis
6 Essential Features of a Learning Organization
1) Continuous learning 2) Critical Systematic Thinking 3) Learning Culture 4) Encouragement of Flexibility and Experimentation 5) Valuing employees
Top 5 Training Companies
1) Jiffy Lube 2) Keller Williams 3)Capital Blue Cross 4)CHG Healthcare Services 5)Mohawk Industries
KSAs v. Learning Domains
KSAs:WHAT is learned…. Domains: HOW it is learned
Cognitive Domain
very analytical and information processing based (Knowledge and intellectual skills)
Standards for Cognitive Domain
usually call for accuracy of information ex: w/ 80% correct responses, according to criteria contained in a policy or textbook, w/in time constraint
Psychomotor Domain
addresses the physical skills or performance of the learner; address manipulation of objects, tools, supplies, or equipment
Psychomotor objectives
needs to describe the necessary materials or environment. Ex: in a stimulated business situation, using MS word, in any type of driving location
Psychomotor Criterion
criterion will relate to actual performance or the finished product. Appropriate criteria would be accuracy within a certain tolerance limit, speed, degree of excellence
Affective Domain
learning usually involves feelings, attitudes, or sensitivities towards other people ideas or things. Training in this domain usually involves decision making, importance of something, and WHY
Affective Conditions
conditions that are usually situations in which learners need to demonstrate basic or entry level attitudes required in the occupation: Ex–> upon completion of the unit on personnel relations
Affective Standard/Criteria
criterion for achievement of criterion calls for a behavior that demonstrates that a feeling/attitude is actually present. May contain an action word here and performance statement
Taxonomic Level of Learning Domains
Levels within each learning domain
Levels in the Cognitive Domain
1) Knowledge 2)Comprehension 3)Application 4)Analysis 5)Synthesis 6)Evaluation
Knowledge (Cognitive Domain)
recognition and recall of facts; define, identify, state
Comprehension (Cog. Domain)
explains, interprets, classifies, or describes information (requires knowledge to demonstrate)
