Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, Designing Training and Development Systems has stood as the definitive guide to creating, maintaining, and measuring training systems for more than two decades. Its success is due in large part to author William R. Tracey's far-reaching but practical approach to training--training that makes a substantial contribution to company productivity and profitability. "The system has continued to yield positive gains," reports Dr. Tracey. "It has produced better-trained personnel--employees at all levels who are more confident, flexible, responsive, and competent than their counterparts under former training and development systems...It has reduced training time and trainee attrition and has improved motivation and communication." But the role of training has undergone considerable changes in recent years. No longer just a nice-to-have option in organizations, training is now recognized as a vital part of management. And executives are no longer requesting, but demanding, that its value be proven--financially. The third edition of Designing Training and Development Systems was written to answer this demand. Thoroughly revised and updated, the book provides a complete system for the design, development, implementation, and--most important--validation of training programs. Designing Training and Development Systems covers twenty-two key topics--every element a human resources manager, trainer, or course developer needs to know to achieve outstanding training--and details how to document each area. Among many other critical topics, you'll find up-to-the-minute information on how to: identify the major challenges and issues that face training professionals, including changing demographics, economics, technological advances, shifting value systems, and new organizational concepts; understand and apply Dr. Tracey's highly effective 19-step system approach; assess training and development needs; collect and analyze job data; and create and write a clearly defined statement of training objectives. New chapters in this edition look at: developing and implementing strategies; choosing a delivery system (with a close look at the benefits and drawbacks of computer and video technologies); conducting the actual training (with a special section on training the disabled); and calculating costs and benefits. By absorbing and applying the techniques and ideas presented in Designing Training and Development Systems, you will net impressive results. You will be able to produce better-trained employees in less time and at a lower cost than ever before, and you'll be able to document the cost savings. Training isn't a "soft" issue anymore. Designing Training and Development Systems provides you with a hard-edged approach to creating training systems that produce a better workforce--and a better bottom line.

Download or read book Designing Training Programs written by Leonard Nadler and published by Addison Wesley Publishing Company. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing training programs is one of the most pervasive, yet most misunderstood activities to be found in the field of Human Resource Development (HRD). As the field becomes more complex, every training and HRD professional will need a wider range of skills and techniques to make training programs more effective. This book presents a unique model, the Critical Events Model, which any HRD professional can adapt to design effective training programs. The CEM is not just another theoretical approach to training programs. It is a practical working concept that continuously involves managers and super-visors in the design process. After a brief discussion of open and closed models, the book walks the reader step-by-step through the applications of the CEM (an open model). The model is presented in a series of events. After each, there is a specific element for evaluation and feedback which allows trainers to constantly evaluate their programs. A major emphasis of the CEM is the involvement of other people in the organization in addition to the designer, the supervisors, the managers, and the learners. The author provides an important chapter on why everyone in an organization should understand the importance of the productivity benefits of training programs.
Download or read book Design Thinking for Training and Development written by Sharon Boller and published by Association for Talent Development. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Learning Solutions Through Better Learning Experiences When training and development initiatives treat learning as something that occurs as a one-time event, the learner and the business suffer. Using design thinking can help talent development professionals ensure learning sticks to drive improved performance. Design Thinking for Training and Development offers a primer on design thinking, a human-centered process and problem-solving methodology that focuses on involving users of a solution in its design. For effective design thinking, talent development professionals need to go beyond the UX, the user experience, and incorporate the LX, the learner experience. In this how-to guide for applying design thinking tools and techniques, Sharon Boller and Laura Fletcher share how they adapted the traditional design thinking process for training and development projects. Their process involves steps to: Get perspective. Refine the problem. Ideate and prototype. Iterate (develop, test, pilot, and refine). Implement. Design thinking is about balancing the three forces on training and development programs: learner wants and needs, business needs, and constraints. Learn how to get buy-in from skeptical stakeholders. Discover why taking requests for training, gathering the perspective of stakeholders and learners, and crafting problem statements will uncover the true issue at hand. Two in-depth case studies show how the authors made design thinking work. Job aids and tools featured in this book include: a strategy blueprint to uncover what a stakeholder is trying to solve an empathy map to capture the learner’s thoughts, actions, motivators, and challenges an experience map to better understand how the learner performs. With its hands-on, use-it-today approach, this book will get you started on your own journey to applying design thinking.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
