Traditional Training Methods

2. 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.

3. Presentation Methods
Lecture
Audiovisual instruction

4. Variations of the Lecture Method
Standard Lecture
Team Teaching
Guest Speakers
Panels
Student Presentations

5. Hands-on Methods On-the-job Training Self-directed Learning
Apprenticeships
Simulation
Case Study
Business Games
Role Plays
Behavior Modeling

6. Process for Case Development
Identify a story
Gather Information
Interviews, library, the web
Prepare a story outline
Decide on issues
Prepare case materials

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. Group Building Methods
Adventure Learning
Team Training
Action Learning
