Helping People Learn. A Guide to Linking Training and Learning.
Law, Carol
Predicated on the notion that workers will need to transfer new skills to a variety of situations, this document is intended to teach industrial trainers in Britain how people learn and how to train individuals to become independent learners as well as capable performers of specific job skills. The first section of the book is a mixture of exercises and tips on types of learning (memorizing, understanding, and doing) and learning methods for each. The next section offers help on how trainers can help learners to overcome complacency, fear, and disinterest about learning and to become independent learners. Trainers are encouraged to undertake five stages (write learning objectives after task analysis, analyze tasks for difficulty, select training methods to match the kind of learning required, plan a training session, and present the session), and the document includes exercises so that most stages can be practiced. Other exercises help trainers think about how to widen the range of experience they are able to give their learners and how they can make the most effective use of their time. The document concludes with tips on how trainers can encourage continuous assessment of their sessions, a list of the 10 commandments of good listening, a summary, and a 9-item bibliography. (The 10 commandments are: do not talk, help the speaker to relax, express a will to listen, keep away distractions, relate to the speaker, have patience, use self-control, ask questions, tolerate silences, and--again--do not talk!)
