Selecting Training Methods
1. Describe accurately the areas in which the key questions relating to our choice of method arise.
2. Put together a specification for the training methods which would be most effective in your organization.
3. Describe the methodology, organizational framework, resource requirements, support structure and target audience involved in group training, side-by-side training, text- based open learning, technology-based training and discovery learning.
4. Undertake a critical evaluation of the methods listed above in the context of your organization.
5. Apply the needs-methods matrices to the selection of training methods in your organization.
6. Describe the aids and techniques necessary to make effective use of the training methods.
18
TYPES OF TRAINING
On-the-job training
(a) One-to-one instructions- Helping a trainee to acquire knowledge and skills
(b) Coaching- Developing the ability and experience of trainees by giving them systematically planned and progressively more “stretching” tasks to perform coupled with continuous appraisal and counselling
(c) On-the-job instruction- Used when the trainee is naïve and new to the job. Coaching on the other hand is about helping the trainee to extend, improve or develop already acquired basic skills.
19
Off-the-job Training-
Courses/training given by the training department or outside consultants, or personal learning packages etc. or group training by members
Supporting-
is not actually training. The support role is more pastoral by nature. Support trainers by discussing problems and progress, giving encouragement ( specially for those working on an individual personal learning programme).
20
Preparing to Train
WHO
WHY + WHERE = HOW
WHAT WHEN
What will the training consist of?
CHECK- LISTS Listing of the tasks and sub tasks carried out by the job holder and arranged
in the sequence in which they are performed.
PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES - When a job involves decision making which would result in any of a number of
options being taken
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS LIST- Demonstrating the appropriate behavior.
21
EXAMPLE
Interpersonal Skills List
Greeting Greet and welcome the guest in a warm and professional manner. Radiate cheer while greeting the guest. Remember “eye contact” is vital. Treat every guest as a separate entity.
Show interest and willingness to help when the guest approaches.

TRAINING METHOD Contd….
2.Lesson PreparationWHAT? HOW? WHY?
Standards Standards
Prepare the environment and teaching material.

26
NEED Trainers need to know and use questioning technique, for
effective learning. RANGE
We shall discuss ‘Questions’ that can be used for training sessions.
OBJECTIVE At the end of the session, the participants will be able to
questions in training sessions and handle the responses.
QUESTIONING TECHNIQUE
29
Why do we ask questions in training sessions?
• To gauge the ability of the trainee• To ensure right level of learning• To maintain interest and involvement• To lead towards logical answers• To determine level of understanding
30
QUESTION TECHNIQUE
Question Technique is one of the most powerful tools a trainer can use.
Reasons for asking questions : Establishing existing knowledge Recap on previous sessions Gain interest Maintain interest Check progress - keep trainees interested and alert Encourage trainees to reason things out for themselves
Framing QuestionsWhenever possible, use “OPEN” questions, which should begin with : WHO WHY WHERE WHEN WHAT WHICH HOW
31
Always try to encourage questions from trainees
Questions to avoid : Questions which give yes/no answers Vague Questions Questions which end with the question word Questions which allow the trainee to guess
Answers
Correct Answer: praise trainee
Wrong Answer: Re-phrase questions-try to reason why
Partially Correct: Say which part is correct and help the trainee to reason out the answer to the incorrect part
I don’t know : Prompt or re-phrase the question
32
EXPLANATIONS
A Good Explanation Will Be: In a logical sequence clear and concise relevant accurate in digestible chunks delivered at an appropriate speed and with interest
A Good Explanation Will Avoid: jargon assumptions ambiguity
A Good Explanation Will Include: asking questions use of visual aids looking at the trainee
33
NEED Task analysis is the basis for skill training. Every trainer
needs to master the skill of task analysis RANGE
OBJECTIVE At the end of the session, the participants will be able to do
task analysis, and write standards for a task

–Job–Duties–Task Analysis
34
Tasks carried out by a particular employee in the completion of his allotted
duties within the setting of his work environment

script, just glance at key words you’ve marked. Look up at the audience most of the time. Don’t be afraid to repeat your main thoughts several times. Don’t put your hands in your pockets. Use them for at least a few simple gestures. Don’t stand immobile. Move around a bit. Look energetic. Don’t try to be funny unless you’re really good at it. Don’t apologize. Don’t run on too long. Say what you have to say, and then quit.
