achieving a change of attitude, skills and knowledge in
a specific area. It is usually job related.

• If we follow the GAP concept, training is simply a means to use
activities to fill the gaps of performance between the actual results
and the expected results.
• Rank ASK by difficulty to develop in people.
• This GAP can be separated into 3 main themes
– Attitude (Most difficult)
– Skills (Moderately difficult)
– Knowledge (Easy)

6. • To identify the important work-related tasks and knowledge, skills,

11. DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE: DK involves knowing that
something is the case - that “J” is the tenth letter of the alphabet, that
“Paris” is the capital of France. Declarative knowledge is conscious; it
can often be verbalized. Metalinguistic knowledge, or knowledge about
a linguistic form, is declarative knowledge.
PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE PK involves knowing HOW to do
something - ride a bike, for example. We may not be able to explain how
we do it. Procedural knowledge involves implicit learning, which a
learner may not be aware of, and may involve being able to use a
particular form to understand or produce language without necessarily
being able to explain it.

14. • A TNA is the first step in the training process model.
• A TNA is the process to determine whether training to address
a performance gap is necessary.
• Training might be appropriate when the performance issue is
a “can’t do” issue:
– Poor performance (resulting from a knowledge or skill deficiency).
– Lack of basic skills (reading, writing, technology, math skills).
– Legislation or policies requiring new knowledge or skills.
– A customer request for new products or services.
– Higher performance standards.
– New technology.
– New jobs.

15. • Organizational Analysis
– To align training with business strategy and to ensure there are resources and
managerial support for training.
– Examines system wide factors that effect the transfer of newly acquired skills to the
workplace
• Task Analysis
– To identify the important work-related tasks and knowledge, skills, behaviors, abilities
(KSBAs); determine if the content and activities are consistent with trainee on-the-job
experience; and to develop measurable and relevant content, objectives and methods.
– Provides statements of the activities and work operations performed on the job
• Person Analysis
– To ensure that trainees have the basic skills, motivation, prerequisite skills or
confidence
– Who needs what kind of training
15Beenish Tariq Zuberi
16. • Training is not the best intervention when the
performance issue is a result of:
– Recruiting, selection or compensation problems.
– Policies and procedures issues.
– A lack of coaching and feedback.
– Insufficient tools, equipment or resources.
– Physical setting problems.
– A lack of motivation (job-person fit; person-org fit); a
“won’t do” issue.
