Designing Training That WorksThe 8-Fold Path Three – phase, 8-step process to designing training programs
Step 1 - Needs Analysis • Where are the gaps between performance and expectation? Individual? Job? Department? Organization? • What solutions, including training, are available?
Step 2 - Derive Objectives Derive Criteria • What is to be learned? (objective) • How do we know if it was learned? (criteria)
Step 3 - Select Methods • What different instructional method(s) will succeed? • Which are cost-effective?
Step 4 – Pre-test Trainees • How proficient in skills are trainees prior to training? • Will measures of proficiency "contaminate" subsequent actions?
Step 5 – Train! Is the training …. • clear in purpose, • consistent with learning principles, • focused on task, • appropriately arranged, • individualized to differing levels of trainee preparation?
Step 6- Post-test • Were the learning objectives achieved?
Step 7 – Transfer of Training • Did the new knowledge/beliefs/behavior/performance transfer positively to performance on the job?
Step 8 – Modify/Solidify • What, if any, changes are needed to improve the training for next time? • Keep what works • Fix what doesn’t
