Traditional Training Methods Chapter 7 Traditional Training Methods

Objectives 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.

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
