Training Methods    

There are several instructional methods and activities that can be  used to deliver training. As a trainer, you should have a broad  awareness of different kinds of instructional methods so that you can  recommend and utilize the most appropriate solutions for the specific  learning objectives.

List and describe three types of training methods. What type of  activity is it? What types of activities precede and follow it? What  learning style(s) does this activity accommodate? What adult learning  characteristics does this activity incorporate? Discuss the pros and  cons of each method. Lastly, using Bloom’s taxonomy, create a training  objective for each instructional method. Be sure to consider the  specific skills and knowledge to be learned in the training in order to  appropriately apply each instructional method.

Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words. Use this week’s lecture  as a foundation for your initial post. In addition to the Blanchard and  Thacker (2013) text, use at least one additional scholarly source to  support your discussion.

Respond to at least two other posts regarding items you found to be  compelling and enlightening. To help you with your reply, please  consider the following questions: What did you learn from the posting? What additional questions do you have after reading the posting? What clarification do you need regarding the posting? What differences or similarities do you see between your initial discussion thread and your classmates’ postings? Ask each other questions about why the specific training methods were selected. How do the types of training methods selected by your classmate apply to other learning style(s)? Analyze your classmates’ training objectives. Do the learning  objectives describe the key conditions, observable performance/behavior,  and set the standard for performance? What modifications would you  suggest to ensure that trainees understand the expectations clearly?

Your reply posts should be a minimum of 150-250 words each.
