The document discusses training objectives and goal setting. It defines a training objective as specifying the knowledge, skills, or attitudes trainees should gain. Objectives should be SMART - specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based. Well-written objectives focus trainees, guide trainers, and help evaluate progress. Motivation, reinforcement and goal setting also impact trainee learning. Motivation comes from needs, expectations and reinforcement through conditioning. Goals should be specific, involve feedback, and accepted by trainees to be effective.
