This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: Grade A, University of Manchester (Institute for Development Policy and Management), language: English, abstract: In theoretical and empirical research the elusive phenomenon of training transfer has widely been neglected. Attempts to grasp the many facets of the transfer of training in a comprehensive theory have been few. Transfer has traditionally been regarded as a training product to be measured at a fixed point of time after the course. Alternatively, some authors suggests a process approach to transfer and argue that transfer of training is a complex and discontinuous process of successful skill application and recurring setbacks, of achieved behaviour change and frequent relapse to old habits. Consequently, the identification and measurement of transfer delivers a comprehensive picture only when it sets in at various points of time after the training. Throughout the transfer process the trainee is exposed to factors inhibiting or facilitating the transfer of training to the workplace. The influences of transfer facilitators and transfer barriers are outlined in this text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical application of newly gained knowledge and skills, also referred to as transfer of training, is an issue of great concern in training issues generally and in Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs particularly. This empirical study examined the influence of the trainees' work environment on their transfer of training, taking into account the role of trainees' transfer strategies. The study was conducted on 167 trainees from eight MBA programs in Vietnam in 2007-2008. Path analysis and structural equation modeling were applied to examine the effects of potential factors on transfer of training. The results showed that work environment factors such as supervisory support, job autonomy and preferred support (support as needed by the trainee) were significantly associated with the training transfer. Additionally, trainee's use of transfer strategies mediated the work environment and training transfer relationship.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to gain insight into some of the factors that determine the transfer of training to the work context. The present research examined the relationship between three types of predictors on transfer of training, including training design, individual characteristics and work environment. Data was collected at two points in time from 182 employees in a large grocery organization. The results indicated that transfer design, performance self-efficacy, training retention and performance feedback were significantly related to transfer of training. Contrary to expectation, supervisory support was not significantly related to transfer of training. These results suggest that in order to enhance transfer of training, organizations should design training that gives trainees the ability to transfer learning, reinforces the trainee's beliefs in their ability to transfer, ensures the training content is retained over time and provides appropriate feedback regarding employee job performance following training activities.

In this book, the authors move beyond explanation to intervention by contributing their most recent thinking on how best to intervene in organizational contexts to influence the transfer of learning. Written for chief learning officers, training and development practitioners, management development professionals, and human resource management practitioners, this important volume shows how to create systems that ensure employees are getting and retaining the information, skills, and knowledge necessary to accomplish tasks on the job. Improving Learning Transfer in Organizations addresses learning transfer on both the individual and organizational level. This volume shows how to diagnose learning transfer systems, create a transfer-ready profile, and assess and place employees to maximize transfer. The book includes information on how to determine what process should be followed to design an organization-specific learning transfer system intervention. The authors focus on the actual learning process and show how to use front-end analysis to avoid transfer problems. In addition, they outline the issues associated with such popular work-based learning initiatives as action learning and communities of practice, and they also present applications on learning transfer within e-learning and team training contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methodsâ€"to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. Topics include: How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn. What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach. The amazing learning potential of infants. The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace. Learning needs and opportunities for teachers. A realistic look at the role of technology in education.

Download or read book The Effects of Employee Characteristics and Work Environment Factors on Learning During Training and on Pretaining Motivation to Learn written by Gregg Dale Martin and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some managers and researchers believe that improvement of training will come from development of an organizational culture where training is more effective because continuous learning opportunities are sought by more employees, who learn more actively, achieve more during training, and transfer more learning to the job. More specifically, they believe that characteristics of employees and work environment factors will be catalysts for development of this culture and urge further investigation of these two categories of variables. The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of these variables that managers can influence to affect employees' learning during training and pretraining motivation to learn. Specifically, this study examined variance in learning during training that resulted from variance in the employee characteristics of cognitive ability and pretraining motivation. Also, examination focused on variance in pretraining motivation to learn that resulted from variance in cognitive ability and variance in the work environment factors of situational cues and situational consequences. The methodology of this study involved administering training for the Federal Highway Administration to several groups of state government employees. In order to administer controlled training, a comprehensive curriculum and instructor development project was implemented. The result of these development efforts was standardized job specific curriculum and standardized instruction, both of which provided control of classroom variables that could contribute to variance in learning during training and motivation to learn. The study resulted in conclusions that may be helpful for business and industry. When possible, training should be promoted rather than required. As a result, training sessions likely would be attended by a higher percentage of high cognitive ability trainees and would lead to more effective training. When managers promote training, their promotional message should describe training as rigorous and job related and work environment factors (situational cues and situational consequences) to be in accord with application of learning. If large numbers of trainees are required to attend training, managers can help overcome deficits in pretraining motivation and contribute to increased training effectiveness by providing resources to help assure optimal curriculum and instruction. Also, by using appropriate methods to evaluate training, managers can provide situational cues and situational consequences that motivate trainees to attend training.

Download or read book Management Versus Non management Knowledge Transfer from Training to Real Work Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reviewed 78 articles from previous research to investigate the effects of factors in the organizational environment on training transfer. A meta-analysis was performed with training transfer as a dependent variable and post-training independent variables of supervisor support, subordinate support, peer support, workplace support/transfer climate, relapse prevention, goal setting, continuous learning culture, task constraints, and frequency of use. In addition, analysis of differences in the relationship of these variables with training transfer based on training type (management versus non-management training) was conducted. Results of the meta-analysis revealed training transfer sample-weighted means effect sizes were largest for relapse prevention (d = .84), and supervisor support (d = .73) and that differences in effect sizes were found depending on whether training was management or nonmanagement in nature. The study's limitations along with suggestions for future research are discussed. Includes bibliography.
