This document describes various off-the-job training methods including vestibule training, lectures, audio-visuals, programmed instruction, computer-aided instruction, simulation, case study, role-playing, sensitivity training, discussion, demonstration, brainstorming, and field trips. It provides details on how each method works and its advantages and disadvantages.
2.
Off the Job Training
Methods
Vestibule Training
Lectures
Audio-Visuals
Special Study
Programmed
Instructions
Computer Aided
Instruction
Simulation
Case Study
Role-Playing
Sensitivity Training
Discussion Method
Demonstration
Brainstorming
Field Trip
3.
Uses equipment which closely resembles the actual
ones on the job
A special area or room is set aside from work
environment
Trainee is permitted to learn under simulated
conditions
No pressure to produce while learning
Duplicate facilities and trainer cost are
disadvantages
Vestibule training
4.
Verbal presentation by an instructor
Lecturer should have considerable knowkedge in
training area
Used for very large groups
Used in colleges & Univ. – application restricted in
training factory employees
Lectures
5.
AV includes television slides, OHPs and films
Provide wide range of realistic examples and job
conditions
One-way system of communication
Audio - Visuals
6.
Programmed Instruction (PI)
Training is offered without intervention of a trainer
Information provided thru blocks, books or thru
teaching machine
After reading each block of material, learner should
answer questions about it
Feedback in the form of correct answers is provided
after each response
Present questions & facts/problems – allow trainee to
respond – provide feedback on accuracy – if answer is
correct, allow trainee to proceed to next block
Special Study
7.
Computer Aided Instructions (CAI)
Extension of PI method
The speed, memory and data-manipulation
capabilities of computer permit greater utilisation of
basic PI concept
Learner’s response may determine the frequency and
difficulty level of next frame
Special Study (CONT..)
8.
A Simulator is any kind of equipment or technique that
duplicates as nearly as possible the actual conditions
encountered on the job
Attempt to create realistic decision-making environment
for trainee
Ex: Activities of an organization may be simulated and
trainee may be asked to make a decision in support of
those activities
Feed back on decision is given
Learning pace is created
Widely used simulations are – Vestibule training, case
study, role play
Simulation
9.
Written description of an actual situation
Provokes reader with the need to decide on what is going
on
What the situation really is? Or what the problems are?
And what should be done?
Cases are attempts to describe in accurate the real
problems faced by managers – trainees can determine
problems – analyze causes – develop alternative solutions
– select best one and implement it
Excellent opportunity for individuals to defend their
analytical and judgmental abilities
Case Study
10.
Focuses on emotional (human relations) issues rather
than actual ones
Essence of role playing is to create a realistic
situation as in case study
Have the trainees assume the parts of specific
personalities in the situation
Role Playing
11.
ST uses small no. of trainees (less than 12)
Meet with a passive trainer and gain insight into their
own & other's behavior
Meetings have no agenda – held away from workplace
Questions deal with “here & now” of the group process
Discussions focus on “why participants behave as they
do, how they perceive one another and the feelings and
emotions generated in the interaction process”
Other names
Laboratory training
Encounter Groups
T- Groups (Training Groups)
Sensitivity Training
12.
To provide participants with increased awareness of their
own behavior and how others perceive them
To provide greater sensitivity to the behaviors of others,
and increased understanding of group processes
Specific results
Increased ability to emphasize with others
Improved listening skills
Greater openness
Increased tolerance of individual differences
Increased conflict resolution skills
Objectives of ST
13.
Once the training is over, the participants are
themselves again
They resort to their old habits
Disadvantages of ST
14.
A lecturer uses this method to support, elaborate,
explain, expand or interact
Improves two way communication
Discussion
15.
Physical display of form, outline or substance of an
object/ event
In laboratories
In shop floors
Demonstration
16.
Idea generation method
Creative solution to problems
Trainees should deliberately come out with different
solutions to a problem
Not only come out with ideas but also spark off from
associations with other people's ideas by developing
and refining them
Brainstorming
17.
A field work or FT is a journey by a group of people
to place away from a normal environment
Purpose of trip will be –
Observation for education
Non-experimental research
Provide experience outside normal everyday activity
Field Trip
