TRAINING METHODS

With the program designed and budgeted

and objectives set,
you can turn to implementing the training program.
This means actually doing the training, choosing and using one or more of the simpler, low-tech
methods and, then perhaps, proceeding on to computer-based ones.

THE OJT TRAINING METHOD
[On-the-job training (OJT) means having a person learn a job by actually doing it. Every
employee, from mailroom clerk to CEO, gets on-the-job training when he or she joins a firm. In
many firms, OJT is the only training available.]

1 • On-the-Job Training (OJT)

• Having a person
learn a job
by actually doing the job.

• Types of On-the-Job Training (SIMILAR TO MOYJ)

[ J. A. C.]
• Job rotation
• Special assignments
• Coaching or understudy

• Advantages
• Inexpensive
• Learn by doing
• Immediate feedback

2 • Behavior Modeling:
A training technique in which
trainees are
first shown good management techniques
in a film,
are asked to play roles
in a simulated situation,
and are then given feedback and
praised by supervisor.

3 • Job Instruction Training(JIT):

listing each job’s basic tasks,
along with key points,
in order to provide
step-by-step training for employees.

4 • Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS):

computerized tools and displays
that automate training, documentation, and phone support.

{[Intelligent tutoring systems

are computerized, supercharged, programmed instruction programs.
In addition to the usual programmed learning, intelligent tutoring systems learn what questions
and approaches worked and did not work for the learner, and therefore adjust the suggested
instructional sequence to the trainee’s unique needs.]}

5 • Computer-Based Training:
• Advantages
• Reduced learning time
• Cost-effectiveness
• Instructional consistency

6 • Team Training:
Team training is focused on
technical, interpersonal,
and team management issues.

7 • Internet-Based Training:
Employers use Internet-based learning to deliver
almost all the types of training.

8 • Vestibule Training:
Training employees on
special off-the-job
equipment,
as in airplane pilot training, so training costs and
hazards can be reduced.

9 • Informal Learning:
Performing jobs
on a daily basis
in collaboration with their colleagues.

10 • Simulated Learning and Gaming:

Virtual reality, Interactive multimedia etc.

11 • The Virtual Classroom:

Teaching method that uses special collaboration
software to enable multiple remote learners, using their PCs or laptops to
participate in live audio and visual discussions, communicate via written text and
learn via content such as power point slide.

Presenting questions, facts, or problems

to the learner

Allowing the person

to respond

Providing feedback
on the accuracy of answers

• App-ren-tice-ship Training:
A structured process
by which people become skilled workers through a combination of
classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
S:12
TRAINING METHODS (CONT’D)

• Lectures:
A lecture is an oral presentation
intended to present information

• Audiovisual Training:
DVDs, films, PowerPoint's, and audiotapes
can be very effective and are widely used.

• Videoconferencing:
involves delivering programs
over broadband lines, the Internet, or satellite.

• Lifelong and Literacy Training Techniques:

provide employees with
continuing learning experience over their tenure with the firm, with the aims of
ensuring they have the opportunity to learn the skills they need to do their jobs
and to expand their occupational horizons.
