Training Design
● Inthis lesson, we will discuss the factors that we should consider when designing a
training program so that we make our session plan
● Training: is a set of a systematic processes designed to meet learning objectives
related to trainees' current or future jobs
● These processes can be grouped into the following phases;
Needs analysis, design, development, implementation,
and evaluation. The phases are sequential, with the outputs
of the previous phases providing the inputs to those that follow.
3.
Training design
● -systematic process that is employed to develop education and training
programs in a consistent and reliable fashion
● Instructional Design : is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make the
acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient, effective, and appealing."
● There are many instructional design models but many are based on the ADDIE
model with the five phases:
1. Analysis: analyze learner characteristics, task to be learned, etc.
2. Design: develop learning objectives, choose an instructional approach
3. Development: create instructional or training materials
4. Implementation: deliver or distribute the instructional materials
5. Evaluation: make sure the materials achieved the desired goals
4.
The analysis
The analysisof the CS is a very important step in the design of your training
program. In the analysis you need to establish the following:
1. the main skill to be mastered;
2. the learning contents of the competencies including
the underpinning knowledge and skills.
3. assessment criteria for the skill to be mastered.
In the structure of the CS, each competency was divided into learning outcomes.
Learning outcomes describe the task needed to complete the competency. You should
always establish the main competency and the tasks involved.
5.
Designing
● your trainingsession would involve developing learning objectives, choosing an
instructional approach, develop assessment instruments and develop instructional
strategy
● In making your design you should consider the following:
○ 1. Characteristics of your trainees: basic characteristics that maybe potential
barriers in training should be identified and addressed on a trainee per trainee basis
when planning training sessions.
○ 2. Adult learning principles: adults learn differently from elementary and
high school students. In choosing your methods and structuring the training materials
therefore, you should consider how adult trainees learn.
○ 3. Learning styles of your trainees: varied learning styles would require
variations in the methodologies to be employed with CBT.
6.
Applying the Principlesof Adult Learning
● Learner Motivation: Adults must want to learn
● Learner Orientation: Adults will learn only what they feel they need to learn
● Experience: Adults learn by comparing past experience with new experience
● Orientation to Learning: Adults need immediate feedback concerning their progress
● Orientation to Learning: Adults want their learning to be practical
● Dispositional Barrier: Adults try to avoid failure
● Learning Styles: Adults do not all learn the same way
7.
Robert Gagné’s (1999)model
- useful in providing a structured approach of learning. This provides a
nine steps that can assist you in your plan
9 events of Instruction
1. Gain Attention – to orientate and motivate the learner
2. Inform Learners of Objectives – to guide learners and to assist them to
organize their thoughts around what they are about to learn
3. Stimulate Recall of Prior Knowledge – because adults learn by establishing
relationships with what they know and a new knowledge or skill
4. Present the material – in a way that appeals to the different learning
preferences and is easy to digest
5. Provide guidance for learning – by providing opportunities to integrate new
information into their existing knowledge base
8.
6. Elicit performanceby providing safe opportunities to practice
7. Provide feedback – to reinforce or correct learning
8. Assess performance – learners should be given the opportunity for
assessment to gain recognition of their success in learning
9. Enhance retention and transfer – by encouraging learner to plan the
application of what they have learnt
The sequence of activities in the session plan is based on these 9 events of
instruction.
9.
Training Delivery Modesand Methods
● In designing your training program it is very important that you choose
effective training delivery modes and methods.
● Training Delivery Modes
○ 1. The dualized mode training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus, programs
would comprise both, in-school and in-industry trainings or fieldwork components.
○ 2. Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality where the
trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace.
○ 3. Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality where fast learners are given the
opportunity to assist the slow learners.
○ 4. Supervised-industry-training or on-the-job training is a training approach designed
to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual experience in the workplace.
○ 5. Distance Learning is a formal education process in which majority of the instruction
occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place.
10.
Training delivery methods
●consist of the techniques and materials used by trainers to structure or design
learning experiences
Training Methods:
● Active Lecture (With questions and discussions): Used to present information and
ensures that it is understood and remembered.
● Modular self-paced method requires a trainee to read and follow instructions on a
Competency Based Learning Material and learns on his own pace.
● Debate - Used to examine alternative views on a contentious subject, to give practice
in preparation and presentation of such views.
● Group Discussion: Uses active involvement of participants in the
● learning process.
11.
● Forum :Used to present a range of expert’s opinion on a topic, and interaction
between conflicting views
● Buzz Group : Usually used in conjunction with structure to sound out interest, views,
opinions in any audiences
● Brainstorming: Used to develop creative thinking. Maybe used as part of a planning
exercise or to get ideas in order to solve a problem.
● Case Study: Provides discussion and aids understanding of real issues, aids listening
and discussions skills. Helps in problem analysis.
● Role Playing: It is the best-known way to help participants both experience certain
feelings and practice certain skills.
12.
● Field Trip:Field work, site work, outside visit
● Demonstration: Used to explain and demonstrate a process or skills, so that each
group member can understand and reproduce the action.
● Structured Learning Exercise: Exercises are used to simulate real-life situations or
incidents in order to highlight interaction and group process or to focus on problem
solving
● Practice: Used to provide learners with an opportunity to demonstrate their mastery
of new skills or knowledge in a real life situation
● Public Speaking: very time a participant is called to present or offer to say something
in front of the other participants, it is actually public speaking.
● Study Circle: When a group of workers decide that they want to study or learn from
each other’s experience, they form a study circle
13.
Guiding principles inmethod selection
o A method suitable in one situation may not be appropriate in another.
o The value of a method and the quality of tools used depends on how it is
applied.
o Methods must complement one another
Selecting training methods (instructional techniques)
• Take these 8 factors into consideration when choosing training
methodology/instructional techniques (Robinson 1979; Apps 1991;
1. Learning outcomes/objectives
2. Trainers (instructors)
3. Content
4. Participants
5. Training techniques
6. Time
7. Cost
8. Space, equipment, and
materials
14.
Session Plan
What isa Session Plan?
● Session Plan is a simply stated, clearly written and flexible trainer aid for conducting a
session or module. It is:
○ based on the curriculum of the unit of competency.
○ accomplished according to the suggested format .
● Benefits of a Session Plan
1. Gives the trainers an idea of where they are and where they are going
2. Gives the trainers and the learners a clear idea of what they are doing
3. Records the training sessions the trainers have taken
4. Gives the trainers a starting point if they have to do the training again with another
learner or group of learners
5. Gives the trainers a firm base to review their performance
15.
Eight Steps ForDesigning an Effective Session Plan
Step 1. Define the purpose of the training
and target audience
Step 2. Determine participants’ characteristics
and training needs
Step 3. Define training goals and objectives
Step 4. Outline training content
Step 5. Develop instructional activities
Step 6. Prepare the written session plan
Step 7. Prepare participants’ evaluation forms
Step 8. Determine follow-up activities for the event
ELEMENTS OF A SESSION PLAN
1. Industry Sector
2. Qualification Title and Level
3. Unit of Competency
4. Module Title
5. Learning Outcomes
6. Introduction
7. Learning Activities
8. Evaluation
9. Teacher’s Reflection
16.
1. Industry Sector/Qualification& Title
Every qualification belongs to a sector. To know what sector a
particular qualification belongs to, refer to the Training Regulation
2. Unit of Competency:
The Units of Competencies comprise a Qualification. Basically they are
grouped into three: Basic Competencies, Common Competencies, and Core
Competencies
3. Module Title
This is actually the unit of competency. The difference of the Unit of Competency and
the Module Title is, the verb in the module title is in the present participle (ending in –ing)
form.
4. Learning Outcomes
Are the learning blocks/units that comprise the module. In the Training Regulation,
they are termed as Elements while in the CBC they are termed as Learning Outcomes.
17.
5. Introduction
This isthe part of the session plan that intends to motivate the student to learn. It
will acquaint the student to what he/she is:
1. going to learn in the module,
2. why it is important,
3. how it relates to what has already been learned
6. Learning Activities
These are actions the student will do to achieve the learning outcome stated in the
module of instruction
The session plan template recommended by TESDA follows Robert Gagne’s nine
events of instruction. Let us discuss these steps in relation to the parts of the session
plan.
18.
Nine Events ofInstruction
1. Gain Attention
2. Inform Learners of Objectives
3. Stimulate Recall of Prior Knowledge
4. Present the stimulus/material
5. Provide guidance for learning
6. Elicit performance
7. Provide feedback
8. Assess performance
9. Enhance retention and transfer
19.
Parts of theLearning Activities:
a. Learning Content
b. Presentation
c. Practice
● Learning Content
● comprises of the learning elements to be covered in the learning outcome
In identifying the learning contents:
1. Summarize the knowledge, skills and/or attitudes to be covered.
2. Present the learning content in small ‘chunks’ of information.
3. Arrange the learning contents logically.
d. Feedback
e. Learning Resources
f. Time (optional)
20.
● In sequencingcontents, the hierarchy of learning should be
taken into consideration. Always arrange your contents from
simple to complex. Gagne’s hierarchy of learning shows how these
skills are arranged from simple to complex:
● Verbal information: Reciting something from memory
● Intellectual skills:
○ Discrimination: Recognizing that two classes of things differ
○ Concrete concept: Classifying things by their physical features alone
○ Defined concept: Classifying things by their abstract (and possibly physical) features
○ Rule: Applying a simple procedure to solve a problem or accomplish a task
○ Higher-order rule: Applying a complex procedure (or multiple simple procedures) to
solve a problem or accomplish a task
● Cognitive strategies: Inventing or selecting a particular mental process to solve a
problem or accomplish a task
● Attitudes: Choosing to behave in a way that reflects a newly-acquired value or belief
● Motor skills: Performing a physical task to some specified standard
21.
b. Presentation, Practiceand Feedback
● The learning activities for each LO must ensure that:
○ First - The student is presented with ideas, concept or process
appropriate for the LO.
■ (Presentation)
○ Then - The student is provided an opportunity to practice or apply the same
knowledge or skill that was presented.
■ (Application of concept or methods learned)
■ This activity is supported with
■ TASK/JOB SHEETS
○ Finally - The student is given immediate feedback on the result of the
application of the concept or methods performed is receive coaching from the
Trainer/ Facilitator if needed.
■ (Evaluation/Feedback)
22.
7. Learning Resources
Theseare materials that will be needed to support and facilitate learning
of the students/trainees.
Example:
● CBLM
● Pattern paper
● Pen and pencil
● Eraser
8. Time (optional)
Since the approach of the learning is self-paced, time or duration of the training
is not a MUST. However, a Trainer/facilitator can opt to identify the time or duration of the
training as a basis to identify whether the trainee is a slow or fast learner.
● Drawing instruments
● Drawing table
● Orthographic drawing
● Isometric drawing
● Elevation and section plan
23.
9. Trainee’s Evaluation
Thisindicates the method of evaluating the achievement of the
Learning Outcome
● In preparing the ASSESSMENT PLAN, indicate the:
○ Testing condition - what are the tools, equipment and supplies and materials that
will be needed
○ Venue of the evaluation
○ Type of assessment -written test
-practical tests etc.
● Type of evidence
For written tests: answer sheets For Practical Tests:
* Training outputs – training outputs, project, products
* Result of performance test based on criteria
24.
10. Trainer’s/Teacher’s Reflection
Thispart of the Session Plan serves as the documentation of the
conduct of the training on a unit of competency. Highlights of the use of the CBLM must be
recorded/documented and must be considered in the validation/improvement of the manual.
Factors to be considered in the documentation:
- Successful moments or events experienced throughout the learning process
- Feedback from the learners/trainees regarding the use of the CBLM
- Result of the Evaluation
11. Time
Although an optional requirement for self-paced training, time is still considered as
one of the essential factors in identifying effectiveness of the training delivery and the
design of learning materials.
25.
Learning Resources
● Learningresources are the things the student will use when carrying out the instructions
outlined in the learning activities.
● Learning resources can be used to present instruction, and for practice and feedback
