Topic 6 Flashcards
employee training
activities or actions directed toward employees’ improvement on the current job.
employee development
Activities or actions that help an employee prepare for future jobs.
What are the 5 steps of the ADDIE model?
Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation
Is the ADDIE model a continuous cycle or a linear series of steps? Provide your rationale.
a continuous cycle wherein the results of evaluation from one training program become part of the assessment of needs for the next program
needs assessment goals
to determine whether a training need exists, where in the organization this need exists, and the precise nature of the required training
upper-level management - needs analysis
input on the vision of the organization and how this relates to future needs for talent. They can also assess current organizational effectiveness in broad terms
middle-level -needs analysis
advise on the resources available for training, the nature of specific performance problems they see in their assigned areas of responsibility, and the categories of employees they see as targets for potential training programs
training managers/instructional designers- needs analysis?
need to assess whether potential training programs are aligned with business strategy, but they will be particularly focused on how the needs assessment and analysis will assist them in the design, development, and conduct of the actual program.
SME -needs analysis
being involved in the needs assessment makes it more likely that job incumbents will be motivated to participate in any subsequent training program that might be designed.
three levels of needs assessment associated with the ADDIE model
Organization analysis, task analysis, and person analysis
to look at a company’s long-term vision and future direction
What is the primary purpose of an organizational level needs assessment?
skills and knowledge necessary to do particular tasks are examined
What is the primary purpose of a task level needs assessment?
individual employees and how well they perform their jobs
What is the primary purpose of a person level needs assessment?
design blueprint
goals, objectives, and evaluation tasks that must be developed and sequenced.
What information is learned during “pilot program?”
facilitators and training managers can evaluate the sequencing of content, assess the effectiveness of chosen learning activities, assess the time allotted, determine if the physical space and layout are appropriate, and test the various assumptions about program design, development, and implementation
evaluation phase
First, they must determine if a change took place in the behaviors, knowledge, skills, attitudes, or motivation level of training program participants. Second, evaluators must demonstrate that the observed changes were a result of the training program rather than being caused by some other factor (maturation, management edict, change in the environment, new technology, etc.).
The importance of transfer of training
Training serves no purpose if it is not used back on the job
What 3 factors are critical for transfer of training to occur?
- Ensuring that conditions in the training program are identical to those in the job, 2. Teaching principles for applying the behaviors learned in the training program to the job situation, 3. Using the contract plan
Why would an organization choose to use on-the-job training?
An employee’s work station is the best location for teaching an employee how to perform a specific task, especially when the equipment and materials needed for training cannot be moved. On-site training tends to maximize the transfer of training,
What are the advantages and disadvantages of on-site training?
numerous distractions and ongoing job pressures; can usually only train one employee at a time
What are the advantages of off-site training?
forces trainees to leave their work stations and focus on the training content
training
Organizations should use _______________ to correct skill deficiencies.
task
__________ level needs assessment looks for current or potential gaps when compared to workforce capabilities.
pilot program
A _______allows facilitators and training managers to evaluate the sequencing of content and assess the effectiveness of chosen learning activities.
SME (subject matter experts)
__________ is an expert on the nature of the tasks that need to be performed more effectively and can provide information on the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform these tasks.
design
The _________ phase determines what the outcomes of the training should be through the creation of learning objectives.
contract plan
In order to have a positive transfer of training, it is important to have conditions in training identical to the job position, teach principles for applying the learned behaviors in a job situation, and a _______________.
on-the-job
_____________ training is used by organizations because it provides a “hands-on” learning experience.
ADDIE
The __________ is a framework that many instructional designers use to develop courses.
formative
The two types of data that are typically gathered during the evaluation phase are ________ and summative.
off-site
___________ training forces trainees to leave their work stations and focus on the training content.
