After completing TNA , if training needs are
identified, decisions regarding ………..
- What method of training to use
- How much time to allot for the training
- How many trainees to train at the same
time
- Whether training be on the working time
- Whether training be voluntary or
mandatory
- On or off-site location for training
…………………………………are to be taken
Organisational constraints
• Legal requirements – simulation
• Budgets
• Trainee population – variability in KSAs
Costs in training programmes
• Development costs – all costs related to
the development of the program, including
TNA and evaluation
• Direct costs – directly attributable to the
delivery of the training programme. If
training is cancelled the day before it was
to begin , the cost would not be incurred –
travel, materials (that could not be used in
future), facilities, food and beverage,
equipment rental, and trainer
compensation
• Indirect costs – any nondevelopment item
that would be incurred even if training is
cancelled the day before it was to start –
trainer compensation for preparation,
materials purchase/ duplication ( if not
usable in future), marketing expenses,
administration and clerical support
(compensation rate for time spent on
project), and any materials already sent to
trainees
• Overhead costs – reflect the programme’s
share of the general operating costs of the
T & D department / business (depending
on the size and nature of the organisation)
• Participant compensation – participants’
salaries and benefits included as cost of
training . Another way – cost of replacing
these employees while they are in training
• Evaluation costs – development of the
assessment tools, time spent
administering them, analysing and
preparing reports
Training costs for leadership training
• Development costs
1. 20 days of director’s time Rs.1000/day Rs. 20000
2. 5 days of trainer’s time Rs.300/day Rs. 1500
3. Materials Rs. 1000
• Direct costs
1. 5 days of trainer's time Rs.500/day Rs. 2500
2. Training facility rental for 3 days @Rs. 1000/day Rs. 3000
3. Materials and equipment Rs. 10000
4. Coffee and snacks Rs. 3000
• Indirect costs
1. 1 day of trainer preparation Rs. 300
2. 3 days of administrative preparation Rs. 300/day Rs. 900
• Participant compensation
1. 20 managers attending 5 day workshop Rs. 100000
• Evaluation costs
1. 6 days of evaluator’s time Rs. 500/day Rs. 3000
2. Materials Rs. 500
Person analysis
Then determine –
- which performance deficiencies – through
training?
- Which KSAs to reduce performance
deficiencies?
A good objective has 3 components –
• Desired outcome – behaviour – the
behaviour to indicate the trainee learned
the KSA
• Conditions – under which the behaviour
must occur
• Standards – criteria for success – 3
potential standards are – accuracy, quality
and speed
Attitudes – sometimes focus of training
Training – new knowledge
Facilitating learning
• For the trainee –
- Individual differences in KSAs
- Motivation of trainee
- expectation
- environment
- specific goals
- goal orientation
learning goal orientation
performance goal orientation
• Training design to facilitate learning
understand how individuals learn- learning
theory
Social learning theory
- Attention – eliminating distractions
- attracting attention
- Retention – activation of memory
- symbolic coding
- cognitive organisation
- symbolic rehearsal
- Behavioural reproduction
- Strategic knowledge
Facilitating transfer
• Through training
transfer outcomes can be-
- Positive transfer
- Zero transfer
- Negative transfer
Factors that influence TOT-
- Conditions of practice –
massed Vs spaced practice
whole Vs part learning
overlearning
- Identifiable elements
- Stimulus variability
- Knowledge of results
- Relapse prevention and goal setting
• Facilitating transfer through organisational
involvement –
- Superior support
- Peer support
- Trainer support
- Reward system
- Organisational climate and culture
Design theories
Prescribe methods of presenting learning
materials
Elaboration theory –
- Sequencing
- Simplifying Conditions Method (SCM)
- Epitomising
