Factors to Consider in
Developing a Training Program:

37. Cognitive Theory of
Learning:
The cognitive theory of learning is a
psychological framework that focuses
on how mental processes, such as
thinking, memory, problem-solving,
and understanding, influence the
acquisition of knowledge and skills.
This theory suggests that learning is
an active process where learners
actively construct new understanding
and meaning based on their existing

38. Theory of Cognitive Learning &
Best Practices involves:
 Bloom’s Taxonomy
 Constructive Alignment
 Cogence & Coherence
 Course Objectives
 Learning Outcomes
 Teaching Contents
 Delivery Methodology
 Assessment Strategies

39.  Bloom’s
Taxonomy

40. Purpose in Constructive Alignment:
Constructive alignment is a
pedagogical approach that
emphasizes the alignment of
learning outcomes, teaching
methods, and assessments to ensure
meaningful and effective learning
experiences. Cogence and coherence
play crucial roles in achieving
constructive alignment in the
 Constructive
Alignment

41.  Cogence
Cogence: Cogence refers to the logical
and rational connection between
different components or elements of a
curriculum or training program. In other
words, it's about ensuring that the
content and learning activities are
relevant, meaningful, and well-
organized. A curriculum is considered
cogent when there is a clear progression
of ideas, concepts, and skills, and when
the components fit together logically to
create a cohesive learning experience.

42. 
Coherenc
e
Coherence: Coherence, on the other hand,
focuses on the smooth integration and
interrelation of different parts of a
curriculum or training program. It
involves ensuring that the learning
outcomes, content, teaching strategies,
and assessment methods align with each
other and contribute to the overarching
goals of the program.

43.  Course
Objectives
"Course objectives," also referred to
as "course outcomes" are specific
statements that outline the intended
knowledge, skills, and abilities that
learners are expected to acquire by
the end of a training program. These
objectives provide a clear and
measurable framework for designing,
delivering, and assessing the
learning experience. Course

44.  Learning Outcomes
"Course learning outcomes," are
specific statements that describe the
knowledge, skills, and competencies
that learners are expected to
demonstrate or achieve by the end of a
training program or course. These
outcomes provide a clear and
measurable focus for instructional
design, teaching strategies, and
assessment methods including serves
a key role in achieving constructive

45.  Teaching Contents
Teaching/learning contents, often
referred to simply as "content,"
encompass the subject matter,
information, concepts, materials,
and resources that are used to
facilitate the learning process in a
training program. The purpose of
teaching/learning contents in
constructive alignment is to provide
the necessary material and context

46.  Delivery
Methodology
Teaching methodology refers to the
strategies, techniques, and
approaches that trainers use to
facilitate the learning process and
achieve specific learning outcomes in
a training. It encompasses the
instructional methods, activities,
and interactions that take place
between instructors and learners,
including methods employed for
instruction are aligned with the

47.  Assessment
Strategies
Assessment strategies refer to the
methods, tools, and approaches used to
evaluate and measure learners' progress,
understanding, and achievement of
learning outcomes in a training program.
It includes various forms of assessment,
including quizzes, exams, projects,
presentations, portfolios, and more. The
purpose of assessment strategies in
constructive alignment is to ensure that
the methods of evaluating learners'
performance are aligned with the

48. Training Best Practices for
Delivering Engaging and
Effective Lessons
Delivering engaging and effective
lessons in training programs involves
a combination of instructional
strategies, communication techniques,
and learner-centered approaches. Here
are some best practices to consider
when designing and delivering lessons
that captivate learners' attention and
promote meaningful learning:

49. Training is a systematic process
whose purpose is to create a
change in learners so that they
consistently reproduce the
required behaviours, and
increasingly more accurately and
automatically. The expected change
in behaviour is in terms of
Definition of
Training

50. 1.Clear Learning Objectives: Begin
each lesson with clear and specific
learning objectives. Communicate what
learners will be able to achieve by
the end of the lesson, setting the
direction for the entire session.
2. Relevance and Real-World Context:
Connect the lesson content to real-
life situations or practical
applications. Demonstrate the

51. 3. Active Learning: Incorporate
activities that require learners to
actively engage with the content. Use
group discussions, case studies,
role-playing, problem-solving tasks,
and hands-on exercises to encourage
participation and critical thinking.
4. Variety of Instructional Methods:
Employ a mix of instructional
methods, such as lectures, multimedia
presentations, interactive

52. 5. Use of Technology: Integrate
technology tools and platforms that
enhance learning experiences, such as
online quizzes, virtual labs,
interactive modules, and discussion
forums.
6. Visual Aids: Utilize visual aids
like slides, diagrams, infographics,
and charts to reinforce key concepts
and enhance understanding. Visuals can

53. 7. Storytelling: Weave relevant
stories or anecdotes into the lesson
to illustrate concepts and make the
content more relatable and engaging.
8. Incorporate Feedback and
Reflection: Pause for regular check-
ins, encourage questions, and
provide opportunities for learners
to reflect on the material. Feedback

54. 9. Collaborative Learning: Foster a
collaborative learning environment by
encouraging group work, peer
discussions, and collaborative
projects. Learners can learn from
each other's perspectives and
experiences.
10. Incorporate Multisensory
Elements: Engage multiple senses by
incorporating auditory, visual, and

55. 11. Personalization: Tailor examples
and scenarios to learners' backgrounds
and interests, making the content more
relatable and engaging.
12. Use of Humor and Enthusiasm:
Inject humor and enthusiasm into your
delivery to create a positive and
engaging atmosphere. An enthusiastic
and approachable demeanor can
contribute to a more dynamic learning

56. 13. Chunking and Organization: Break
down the content into manageable
chunks. Organize the lesson
logically, using headings, bullet
points, and clear transitions to
enhance comprehension.
14. Timely and Relevant Examples: Use
current and relevant examples that
connect the content to real-world
situations. This demonstrates the

57. 15. Progressive Complexity: Build a
logical progression of complexity
throughout the lesson. Start with
foundational concepts and gradually
move to more advanced or intricate
ideas.
16. Engage with Questions: Pose
thought-provoking questions, both
rhetorical and open-ended, to
stimulate thinking and encourage

58. 17. Interactive Polls and Quizzes:
Integrate interactive polls and
quizzes to gauge understanding,
prompt discussion, and provide
immediate feedback.
18. Effective Time Management: Manage
the pacing of the lesson to maintain
engagement and avoid monotony.
Incorporate breaks or activities to
keep energy levels high.

59. 19. Encourage Critical Thinking: Pose
challenging questions that encourage
learners to analyze, evaluate, and
synthesize information. Create
opportunities for meaningful
discussions and debates.
20. Wrap-Up and Summarization:
Conclude the lesson by summarizing
key points, reinforcing the learning
objectives, and previewing the next
