Setting Objectives

1
Setting Objectives

• Why Set Objectives?

2
Why set objectives for your training module?

• ? Input for module design
• ? Criterion measures used to evaluate subsequent
  trainee performance
• ? Tells learners what they are expected to do
  when they finish the program.

Training Objectives

• Employees learn best when they understand the
  objective of the training program
• The objective refers to to the purpose and
  expected outcome of training activities
• Training objectives based on the training needs
  analysis help employees understand why they need
  the training

A training objective has three components

• A statement of what the employee is expected to
  do (performance or outcome).
• A statement of the quality or level of
  performance that is acceptable (criterion).
• A statement of the conditions under which the
  trainee is expected to perform the desired
  outcome (conditions).

Getting Practical

• Administration
• Selecting preparing the training site
• comfortable accessible
• quiet, private, free from interruptions
• space to move easily
• Lesson plan

10
Training Administration

• Communicating courses programs to employees
• Enrolling employees in course programs
• Preparing processing any pre-training materials
  (i.e., readings or tests)
• Preparing materials that will be used in
  instruction (e.g., copies of overheads, cases)
• Arranging for training facility rooms

11
Training Administration - 2

• Testing equipment that will be used in
  instruction
• Having backup equipment (paper copy of slides,
  extra overhead projector bulb)
• Providing support during instruction
• Distributing evaluation materials (e.g., tests,
  reaction measures, surveys)

12
Training Administration - 3

• Facilitating communications between trainers
  trainees during after training (e.g.,
  coordinating exchange of e-mail addresses)
• Recording course completing in trainees training
  records or personnel files

13
Training administration involves (1 of 2)

• Communicating courses and programs to employees
• Enrolling employees in courses and programs
• Preparing and processing any pre-training
  materials such as readings or tests
• Preparing materials that will be used in
  instruction
• Arranging for the training facility and room
• Testing equipment that will be used in instruction

14
Training administration involves (2 of 2)

• Having backup equipment should equipment fail
• Providing support during instruction
• Distributing evaluation materials
• Facilitating communications between trainer and
  trainees during and after training
• Recording course completion in the trainees
  records or personnel files

15
Evaluating a Training Room
