25. KOLB LEARNING STYLE.
The theory sets out these four preferences, which are also possible different
learning methods:
1. Doing (active experimentation)
2. Watching (reflective observation)
3. Feeling (concrete experience)
4. Thinking (abstract conceptualisation)
27. The theory of multiple intelligences differentiates human intelligence
into specific 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated
by a single general ability. Howard Gardner proposed this model in
his 1983.
30. THE THREE REPRESENTATIONAL MODES
All information that is perceived via the senses passes through three processors that encode
it as linguistic, nonlinguistic, or affective representations. This is how we learn.
1. The Linguistic Mode: The linguistic mode includes verbal communication, reading,
watching (e.g. learn the rule of chess through observation), etc.
2. The Nonlinguistic Mode: This includes mental pictures, smell, kinesthetic, tactile,
auditory, and taste. However these representations are quite similar to each other in that
these nonlinguistic sensations function in a similar fashion in permanent memory.
3. The Affective Mode: This is our feeling, emotions, and mood. Feeling is one's internal
physiological state at any given point in time. Emotion is the coming together of
feelings and thoughts. Mood is the long-term emotion or the most representative
emotion over a period of time.
32. LEARNING: DEFINITION AND
THEORIES
Learning manifests itself by the changed behaviour of the trainees. A lot of
research has been done on learning and a number of theories have been proposed
to explain the same. Various theories of learning can be classified into two main
categories as:
Connectionist theories
Cognitist theories
33. CONNECTIONIST THEORIES
The connectionist theories believe primarily in the stimulus response
approach. These theories involve the operation of laws of association,
such as assimilation, frequency, contiguity, intensity, duration, context,
acquaintance, composition, individual differences and cause and effect.
The basic theme of these theories is that when an act produces
satisfaction, it will be associated with a particular situation and
probably will be repeated when the situation arises again.
34. COGNITIST THEORIES
In all theories, three basic concepts have been studied:
Stimulus: Stimulus is something that initiates action. An action occurring as a
consequence of the stimulus is called response.
Reinforcement: It is an action that causes a learner to repeat (or to avoid)
his/her behaviour.
Motivation: Motivation guides a learner to completion of learning for better
employment; say higher salary, promotion or a path to some desired goal.
35. DOCTRINES OF LEARNING

formulated certain maxims, which can be used for making the
training more effective. These maxims guide a trainees on
how to proceed while imparting any training.
48. The common maxims of teaching are:
1. Proceed from known to unknown
2. Proceed from simple to complex
3. Proceed from concrete to abstract
4. Proceed from particular to general
5. Proceed from analysis to synthesis
6. Proceed from whole to parts
MAXIMS OF TEACHING
49. CONSIDERATIONS WHILE DESIGNING
MODULES
While designing the modules for learning, the following points should be kept
into consideration:
1. The modules should be self contained bits of knowledge.
2. The modules should be independent.
3. The modules should be sufficient in number.
4. The modules should be amenable of self-learning.
5. The modules should have proper interface with the tutor as well.
6. The modules should be interactive.
7. There should be a proper system of evaluation and feedback to judge the
knowledge and skill level of the employees.
51. TYPES OF TRAINING
Some of the important types of training programmes are as follows:
1. Induction or Orientation Training
2. Job Training
3. Apprenticeship Training
4. Internship Training
5. Refresher Training
6. Training for Promotion
52. METHODS OF TRAINING
Various methods of training may be classified into the following categories:

a specific job or task.
There are four methods of On The Job training explained bellow:
Coaching
Mentoring
Job Rotation
Understudy
53. 2. The Off-the-Job Training: It is the training method wherein the
workers/employees learn their job roles away from the actual work floor.
There are several off-the-job methods of training and development as described below:
Special lectures
Role playing

Simulation
Management Games
METHODS OF TRAINING
54. 3. Vestibule Training:
This type of training is specifically given to the technical staff, office
staff and the employees who learn the operations of tools and
equipment assembled at a place away from the actual work floor.

that they would be experiencing at the actual plant.
METHODS OF TRAINING

61. TRAINING EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
1.Post-Course assessment: Post-course assessments are often conducted
immediately after the end of a training programme and are the most frequently used
method for evaluating a training programme.
2.Pre- and post-course tests: An ideal way of measuring learning is to measure it
before and then to measure the same set of knowledge when it over.
3.Management briefing: In this technique, the trainer moves out of the area within
his own responsibility and becomes much more reliant on the trainee’s line manager.
4.Management de-briefing: This method of evaluation also requires the complete
commitment of line manager.
62. TRAINING EVALUATION TECHNIQUES

about the effectiveness of training.

to assess the effectiveness of training delivered during the previous period.
7.Training for promotion: One of the major objectives of any training is to train
the prospective managers after promotion.

dimensions simultaneously.
