This document discusses learning theories and program design for training. It introduces various types of learning outcomes and theories of learning such as reinforcement theory, need theory, and expectancy theory. It also discusses adult learning theory and the learning cycle. The document outlines factors to consider in training room design like lighting and seating arrangements. It describes key elements of effective program design such as course parameters, objectives, and detailed lesson plans.

11. • Program design – refers to the organization and coordination of the
training program.
• Effective program design includes:
• Course Parameters – refer to general information about the training
program including the course title, description of the
audience, statement of purpose, goals of the
course, location, time, prerequisites, and name of the trainer.
• Objectives
• Types of Objectives
1) Program Objectives – are broad summary statements of
the purpose of the program.
2) Course Objectives or Lesson Objectives – relate to goals
of the course or the lesson.

12. • Effective program design includes:
• The Detailed Lesson Plan – translates the content and sequence of
training activities into a guide that is used by the trainer to help
deliver the training.
• Lesson Plan Overview – matches major activities of the training
program and specific time or time intervals.
