HRMG 4202-Why and how do people learn?
Discussion: Why and How Do People Learn? The objective of training is to
impart a specialized skill or competency to the trainees. An effective
training module addresses the training needs of the participants. To
make a training module effective, it is important to first conduct a
training needs analysis. As part of this Discussion, choose topics that
focus on why and how a training needs analysis should be conducted and
how effective training programs can be created.
Based on your reading for this week:
Select
at least one topic from the assigned chapters that is of particular
interest to you. Prepare a substantive response describing a real-world
situation—either from your own experience or from an item in the news
that addresses some of the primary concepts covered in that topic. For
example: What learning theory or theories have you observed being
demonstrated in the actions of members of an organization (without
identifying people by name)? What is the relationship between learner
motivation, learning styles, and the selection of the type of training
used?
Post a substantive
response of approximately 300–350 words that is an analysis of your
chosen real-world situation. Your analysis should include the following:
Briefly describe the learning and training development topic, including identifying connections to the course text.
Analyze the illustrative real-world situation, including background and relevant context to the chosen topic.
Explain how the real-world situation clarifies or exemplifies the
concepts in your selected topic, providing supportive examples and
credible evidence as needed.
