Final Flashcards
ADDIE
older model for approach to T&D
analysis
design
development
implementation
evaluation
development
formal and planned efforts to help employees acquire the KSAs required to perform future job responsibilities and long-term achievement of individual career goals and organization objectives.
high-performance work system
consists of an integrated system of human resources practices and policies that includes rigorous recruitment and selection procedures, performance contingent incentive compensation, commitment to employee involvement, and extensive T&D programs
human capital
the KSAs of an organization’s employees
key determinant of organization performance
important resource for competitive advantage
instructional systems design (ISD) model
depicts training and design as a rational and scientific process that consists of 3 major steps:
1. needs analysis
2. design and delivery
3. evaluation
streamlined model of the ADDIE
organizational culture
shared beliefs, values and assumptions that exist in the organization
performance management
the process of establishing performance goals and designing programs to motivating and develop employees to improve their performance and the organization performance
not single event, ongoing continuous process made up of various programs to develop employees and improve performance
skills mismatch
insufficient number of workers with the needed skills are available to satisfy the number of available jobs. mismatch between skilled labour available and market demand.
SMART goals
specific - specific behaviour you’re looking for
measurable - have to be able to determine if goals were achieved
attainable - challenging but still doable
relevant - meaningful to individual and organizational objectives
Time frame - have to set time for goals to achieved by
strategic human resource management
alignment of HR practices with an organizations business strategy
strategic training and development
alignment of organizations’s training needs and prams w a organization’s strategy and objectives
strategy
refers to an organization objectives and action plans for realizing its objectives and gaining competitive advantage
link training to organization’s strategy, training becomes strategy activity to help organization achieve it’s goals
training
formal and planned efforts to help employees acquire KSAs to improve performance in their CURRENT job
short-term focus on acquiring skills to perform your job
training bond
contract between employer and employee that states that employer will pay for the employee’s training as long as the employee remains w the organization for a min period of time upon completion of the training program. if not employee has to reimburse org
work engagement
positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is characterized by vigour, dedication, and absorption
primary objective of training and development
maximize organization’s human capital
social capital
social resources that an individual obtains from participation in social structure.
relationships within a org and between members of of the organization and external stakeholders
benefits of training for employers
strategy
effectiveness
employee recruitment, engagement, and retention
effectiveness
companies who invest in training have lower turnover, employees who are more productive, make less errors, require less supervision and have more positive attitudes
training more effective than other interventions
what did research find about franchisees and length of training
the longer and more robust the training program, the more likely the franchisee’s franchise was to survive
benefits of training for employees
intrinsic benefits: great self efficacy in their ability to perform their job, increase KSAs
extrinsic benefits: higher earnings, improved marketability, greater security of employment, better opportunity for promotion
benefits of training for society
educated and employed population
health and safety
economy and standard of living –> training improve productivity
work integrated learning
students acquire work experience as part of their education through co-ops, apprenticeships, and internships
What are some of the key environmental (external) factors that drive Human Resources/T&D
global competition
technology
labour market
environmental change
what are some internal factors that affect training and development
strategy
org structure –> become flatter need to train more managerial duties too
culture
according to the ISD what does the training process begin with?
performance gap: something not quite right
what is needs analysis and what are the 3 steps it consists of
determine the size of the gap between where things are and where they should be, determines if training needed
3 levels:
organization analysis: where training needed in org
task analysis: what training is required
person analysis: who in the organization needs to be trained
steps in training evaluation
1.evaluation criteria
2. evaluation design
what are the steps to training design and delivery
- training objectives
- training content
- training methods
- learning principles
achievement motivation
desire to perform challenging tasks
ACT theory
learning takes place in 3 stages: declarative knowledge, knowledge compilation, and procedural knowledge
andragogy and what are the 6 core assumptions about the adult learner
an adult orientated approach to learning that takes into account the difference between adult and child learners
- need to know
- learner self-concept
3.learner’s experience - readiness to learn
5.orientation to learn - motivation to learn
avoid performance goal orientation (APGO)
a focus on avoiding negative judgements from others for one’s performance outcomes
chaining
2nd step in conditioning process
the reinforcement of entire sequences of a task, combing each step to perform entire response
cognitive ability
conscientiousness
degree to which a person is responsible and achievement orientated
core self-evaluations and 4 specific traits its based on
an individuals self appraisal of their worthiness, competence as a person
4 specific traits:
- self efficacy
-self esteem
locus on control
emotional stability
declarative knowledge
first stage in ACT theory.
learning of facts, knowledge and info
all of your attention and cog resources being used at this point, can’t multi-task
performance at this stage slow and error prone
distal goal
long term goal or end goal
Fleming’s learning styles
an individual’s preferred ways of gathering, organizing and thinking about information. different ways people take in and give out information.
uses the VARK model
formal learning
involves formal, planned and structured activities or the organized transfer or of work related skills, expressed goal set by the org
generalization
3rd step in conditioning process
conditioned response occurs in circumstances different than those during learning
trainer must provide the trainees with opportunity to perform task in variety of situations
goal
object or aim of an action
goal orientation
a dispositional or situational goal preference in achievement situations
informal learning
learning that occurs naturally as part of work and is not planned or designed by org. it’s spontaneous, immediate and task specific
job involvement
degree to which an individual identifies psychologically with work and the importance of work to their self image
knowledge compilation
2nd stage in ACT theory
involves integrating tasks into sequences to streamline the task translate declarative knowledge into action
performance becomes faster and more accurate in this stage, but still fragmented
kolb’s learning style
learning a function of 2 domains: how people gather information and how they process information
gather information can have 2 difference modes: concrete experience CE (feeling) and abstract conceptualization AC(thinking)
process information can have 2 different modes: reflective observation RO (watching) or active experimentation AE (doing)
combining different modes of gathering and processing creates 4 different learning styles
- converging AC and AE thinking and doing
- diverging CE and RO feeling and watching
- assimilating AC and RO thinking and watching
- accommodation CE and AE (feeling and doing)
learning
the process of acquiring knowledge and skills, involves a change of state that makes possible a corresponding change in one’s behaviour
learning cycle
people use each of the four modes of learning in a sequence that begins with concrete experience followed by reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation
learning goal orientation
a focus on developing competence by acquiring new skills and mastering new tasks
learning goals
focus trainee’s attention on the learning process
learning style
the way in which an individual prefers to learn
locus on control
extent to which one believes their behaviour is controlled by internal or external factors
motivation
the degree of persistence effort one directs towards a goal
has to do with effort, persistence, and direction (effort and persistence toward meaningful goal)
observation and what are the 4 key elements for learning to take place
component in social cognitive theory
learning by observing the actions of others and the consequences
attention, retention, reproduction and reinforcement
pedagogy
more traditional approach of learning used to educate children and youth, assigns full responsibility to the instructor
performance goals
procedural knowledge
3rd step in ACT theory
learner has mastered the task and performance is automatic, without thought
don’t need full attention to do it anymore
prove performance goal orientation PPGO
a focus on favourable judgements from others for one’s performance outcomes
proximal goal
short term goal that is instrumental for achieving distal goal
break distal goal into smaller more manageable short term goal
resource allocation theory
individuals possess limited cognitive resources that can be used to learn a new task.
self-efficacy and what 4 sources of info is it influenced by
beliefs that people have about their ability to perform a specific task
task mastery
observation
verbal persuasion
one’s physiological or emotional state
self-regulated learning
the use of affective, cognitive, and behavioural processes during a learning experience to reach a desired level of achievement
self-regulation
managing one’s own behaviour through a series of internal processes
self-regulation prompts
ask trainees questions about their learning, goals and the goal progress to encourage self-regulation during training
shaping
first part of the conditioning process
reinforcement of each step of the process until it is mastered, then withdrawing the reinforcer until the next step is mastered
social learning
learning through interaction with others, can be formal or informal
training motivation
the direction, intensity and persistence of learning directed behaviour in training contexts
VARK
visual
aural/auditory
read/write
kinesthetic
how individuals prefer to receive information
workplace learning
process of acquiring job-related knowledge and skills through formal training programs and informal social interactions among employees
70-20-10 model
when it comes to workplace learning, 70% comes from on the job experiences, 20% from relationships and interactions w others, and 10% from formal learning activities and events
What are Gagne’s 5 general categories of learning outcomes?
verbal information: facts, knowledge, packages of info. AKA declarative knowledge
intellectual skills: concepts rules and procedures, procedural knowledge
cognitive strategies: application of info and techniques, understanding how and when to use the knowledge
motor skills: coordination of physical movements (learning to swim)
attitudes: preferences associated with one’s beliefs and feelings. most difficult domain to influence through training.
what are kraiger, ford, and salas 3 categories of outcomes of learning?
cognitive
affective
skill-based
performance of a new task is determined by which 3 things?
individual difference in cognitive resources
task complexity
self regulatory activities
social cognitive theory and what are its 3 components
learning occurs through observing others behaviour, making choices about different courses of action to take, and managing the brown behaviour in the process of learning
3 components: observation, self- efficacy, and self regulation
conditioning learning theory
shaping, chaining and generalization
presentation of a stimulus followed by a response which is then followed by a reinforcer, which either increases or decreases the likelihood of behaviour repeating
adult learning theory
based on differences between adults and children and the implication of these differences for learning
what are the 3 theories of learning
conditioning learning theory
social cognitive learning theory
adult learning theory
goal setting theory
based on idea people’s intentions are a good predictor of their behaviour
goals are motivational because they direct people’s effort and lead to development of strategies to help them reach their goal
for goals to be motivational they have to be…
- specific in level and time frame
- challenging
- be accompanied with feedback
-people must be committed to them
4 personality variables that predict training motivation
high conscientiousness
internal locus of control
high achievement motivation
low anxiety
cognitive task analysis
a set of procedures that focuses on understanding the mental processes and skills required for the job
focuses on the mental aspects instead of behaviour like in traditonal task analysis
focus on how gets done instead of what gets done
competency
cluster of related KSAs that enables job holder to perform job effectively
compliance training
training programs that are mandated by the government legislation and regulations as we’ll as industry and organization policies
contingency management
practices based on the belief that every act has a consequence and if the consequence is a reward the the act will be repeated
continous learning culture
a culture where members of an org believe that knowledge and skills acquisition are part of their job responsibilities and that learning is an important part of work life in the org.
learning culture
the attitudes and practices within the organization regarding the importance placed on organization learning and employee development
need
gap between current results and desired results
needs analysis
process to identify gaps in employee and org performance
identifies gaps between current and desired results, prioritize those needs, select most important need
organization climate
the collective attitudes of employees toward work. supervision, and company goals, policies, and procedures
rapid needs analysis
a quick and inexpensive needs analysis that involve gathering available info and using data that already exists
resource analysis
part of the organizational analysis
the identification of resources available in an organization that might be required to design and implement training and development programs
team task analysis
an analysis of tasks as well as the team based competencies (KSAs) associated with the tasks
training transfer climate
characteristics in the work environment that can either facilitate or inhibit the application of training on the job
strong training transfer climate = cues to remind employees to apply training material on job, positive reinforcement, and supervisior peer support
task analysis and its 6 steps
process of obtaining information about a job by determine the duties, tasks, and activities involved and the KSAs required for it
1.identify target jobs
2. obtain job description
3. develop rating scales to rate important and difficult of each task and frequency its performed
4. survey sample of job incumbents
5. analyze and interpret the info
6. provide feedback on results
competency vs skill
skills be very specific, competency are generic and universal
person analysis and the 3 step process to it
process of studying employee behaviour and performance to determine if whether performance meets standards
- define desired performance
- determine the gap between desired and actual
- identify obstacles to effective performance
9 needs analysis methods
observation
questionnaire
interview
group discussion
print media
key consultation
tests
record
reports
work samples
needs analysis sources
employees, managers, HR staff, and SME
active learning
approach to training that gives trainees control over their own learning experience
active practice
providing trainees with opportunities to practise performing a training task or using knowledge being learned during training
adaptive expertise
the ability to use knowledge and skills across a range of tasks, setting and situations
advance organizers
pretraining intervention
activities that provide trainees with a structure or framework to help them assimilate and integrate info acquired during practice into their existing knowledge
anthological tasks
tasks similar to those worked on in training
attentional advice
a pre training intervention
providing trainees w info about the task processes and general task strategies can help them learn to perform a task
automaticity
performance of a skill to the point at which little attention from the brain required to respond correctly
blended training
the use of combination of approaches to training such as off the job training, on the job training, and computer technology
