CRAMP. A Guide to Training Decisions. Second Edition.
Fleck, Vivien; Law, Carol
This document explains the British Industrial Training Research Unit's CRAMP (Comprehension, Reflex action, Appropriate attitude, Memorizing, Procedural learning) system for designing training. The first section introduces the CRAMP approach and includes an exercise (and answers) to measure whether the reader understands CRAMP's definitions of learning types. The second section, in workbook format, presents the areas that must be decided before choosing which training methods to use in a training program. Those areas are: (1) deciding whether training is needed; (2) analyzing the job; (3) identifying learning outcomes; (4) identifying what trainees need to learn; and (5) considering constraints and the needs of trainees. Section 3 leads the reader through the selection of training approaches by describing nine approaches (presentation, presentation-discussion, group discussion-task, project group work, team training, discovery learning, open learning, pair or one-to-one discussion, and computer-based training) that are categorized as either exposition or instructor-led, collaborative or group-centered, and individual. Each description includes characteristics of the approach, associated training methods, type of learning for which the approach is appropriate, trainee needs that are usually met and unmet by this approach, and suggested references. Section 4 leads the reader through the selection of training methods by describing 29 training methods and 3 ways of learning procedures. Included in the descriptions are characteristics of the methods, the kind of learning for with each is appropriate, and 15 suggested readings. (CML)
