METHODS OF TRAINING Introduction ? Choice of training methods is generally influenced by the these factors: ? Objectives of a training programme ? Time available ? Cost involved ? Participant’s level of understanding and previous experience ? Size of group ? Facilities available Training Methods ? COGNITIVE METHODS ? BEHAVIORAL METHODS COGNITIVE METHODS ? Cognitive methods are more of giving theoretical training to the trainees. ? The various methods under Cognitive approach provide the rules for how to do something, written or verbal information, demonstrate relationships among concepts, etc. ? FOCUSES- changes in knowledge and attitude by learning. Methods of Cognitive approach ? Lectures ? Demonstrations ? Discussions ? Computer Based Training (CBT) Lectures ? It is a formal verbal presentation of information to the trainees by expert company executives or professional lecturers ? Lecture is given to enhance the knowledge of listener or to give him the theoretical aspect of a topic ? It is difficult to imagine training without lecture format. ? There are some variations in Lecture method. ? The variation here means that some forms of lectures are interactive while some are not. ? Main features of Lecture ? Less expensive ? Can be reached large number of people at once ? Knowledge building exercise ? Less effective Demonstration ? This method is a visual display of how something works or how to do something. ? Essential while introducing new products or new selling techniques ? Helps the focusing their attention on critical aspects of the task ? Accompanied by the discussion or lecture to make it more effective Discussion method ? Discussion method is a two-way flow of communication, i.e. ? knowledge in the form of lecture is communicated to trainees ? Then understanding is conveyed back by trainees to trainer. ? In panel discussion, leader presents the sales problem, calls upon each member to comment, then closes the discussion and summarises the views of the panel. Computer Based Training ? CBT is an alternative to classroom based training. ? Providing training to employees through Intranet or Internet. ? CBT does not require face-to-face interaction with a human trainer. ? Benefits of CBT ? Reduces the cost of training ? Allows the trainee to master trainee ? Affords privacy of learning ? Increases access to training ? Reduces trainee learning time BEHAVIORAL METHODS ? Behavioral methods are more of giving practical training to the trainees ? These methods are best used for skill development. Methods of Behavioural approach Games and Simulations ? Game is defined as spirited activity or exercise in which trainees compete with each other according to the defined set of rules. ? Simulation is creating computer versions of real- life games. ? It is about imitating or making judgment or opining how events might occur in a real situation. Methods of Games and Simulation: ?Behavior Modeling ?Business Games ?Case Studies ?In-basket technique ?Role Plays Behavior Modeling ? In this method, some kind of process or behavior is videotaped and then is watched by the trainees. ? The trainees first observe the behavior modeled in the video and then reproduces the behavior on the job. Business Games ? These are based on the set of rules, procedures, plans, relationships and principles. ? In the Business Games, trainees are given some information that describes a particular situation and are then asked to make decisions that will best suit in the favour of the company. ? And then the system provides the feedback about the impact of their decisions. ? Again, on the basis of the feedback, they are asked to make the decisions again. ? This process continues until some meaningful results do not come out. Case Studies ? The trainee is given with some written material, and the some complex situations of a real or imaginary organization. ? The trainee then makes certain judgement about the case by identifying and giving possible solutions to the problem. In-Basket Techniques ? Also known as In-tray method ? The trainee is presented with a pack of papers and files in a tray containing administrative problems and is asked to take decisions on these within a stipulated time. ? The decisions taken by the trainees are compared with one another. ? The trainees are provided feedback on their performance. Role Play ? Role play is a simulation in which each participant is given a role to play. ? Information is given to trainees related to: ? description of the role ? concerns ? objectives ? responsibilities etc. ? Some real life situations are presented before them and they are asked to act out the way in which the circumstances might reach an appropriate conclusion through the play.
