Techniques & Pedagogy

Pedagogy of Training
• Knowledge is a necessary but not sufficient
condition for employees to perform their jobs.
• Knowledge must be translated into behavior.
• Training has always been more of an art than
science.
7 - 4

• The availability of numerous training aids and lots of
scientific studies on learning are conducted but, it is
the choice of trainer using the best method to
facilitate learning.
• Training has to cater to the diverse needs of the
heterogeneous groups.
• Training has diverse objectives and the trainees have
varying skill levels.
• One type of training method cannot serve the
needs at all times.

Types of Training
• Training can be classified into many types,
depending upon several bases.
• On the basis of purpose, several types of
training programmes, which are not mutually
exclusive, are offered to the employees.
• Training programmes invariably overlap and
employ many common techniques.

Some of the important types of training
programmes are as follows:
1. Orientation or Induction training.
2. Job training.
3. Apprenticeship training
4. Internship training
5. Refresher training
6. Training for promotion.

1. Orientation or Induction Training
• Introducing or orienting a new employee to
the organization.
• Introduction is related to procedures, rules
and regulations , working conditions, etc.
• Employees are familiarized with the work
environment and with his fellow employees.
• This is friendly welcome.

• The purpose is to give a ‘bird’s eye view’ of
the organization where he has to work.
• It is a very short and informative type of
training given immediately after recruitment.
• It creates a feeling of involvement in the
minds of newly appointed employees.

2. Job Training
• This training relates to the specific job, which
the worker has to perform.
• It gives information about machines, process
of production, instructions to be followed,
methods to be used and so on.
• It develops skills and confidence among the
workers and enables them to perform the job
efficiently.
• It helps in creating interest of the employees
in their jobs.

3. Apprenticeship Training
• The governments of various countries, including
India, have passed laws which make it obligatory for
certain classes of employers to provide
apprenticeship training to the young people.
• The usual apprenticeship programmes combine on
the job training and experience with classroom
instructions in particular subjects.
• The trainees receive wages while learning and they
acquire valuable skills, which command a high wage
in the labour market.

• In India, there are several ‘earn while you
learn’ schemes both in the private as well as
public sector undertakings.
• Some employers look upon apprentices as a
source of cheap labor.
• Apprenticeship training is desirable in
industries, which require a constant flow of
new employees expected to become all round
craftsmen.
• It is very much common in printing trades,
building and construction, and crafts like
mechanics electricians, welders, etc.

4. Internship Training
• Under this type of training programme the academic
institute and Industrial enterprise enters into an
arrangement (contract) for providing practical
knowledge to its students.
• Through Internship training the advanced theoretical
knowledge has to be backed up by practical
experience on the job.
• Ex: Engineering students are sent to big industrial
enterprises for getting practical work experience and
medical students are sent to big hospitals to get
practical knowledge.

• The period of such training varies from six months to
two years.
• The trainees do not belong to the business
enterprises, but they come from the vocational or
professional institutions.
• It is quite usual that the enterprises giving them
training absorb them by offering suitable jobs after
completion of their trainings.

5. Refresher Training
• It is for the old employees of the enterprise. It
is also called retraining.
• To acquaint the existing workforce with the
latest methods of performing their jobs and to
improve their efficiency further.
• Dale Yoder has rightly remarked, “Retraining
programmes are designed to avoid personnel
obsolescence”.

Refresher training is essential because of the
following factors:
(a) To bring workers up-to-date with the knowledge and
skills and to relearn what they have forgotten.
(b) Rapid technological changes make even the
qualified workers obsolete. The workers need to
learn new work methods to use new techniques in
doing their jobs.
(c) Refresher training becomes necessary because
many new jobs that are created due to changes in
the demand for goods and services are to be handled
by the existing employees.

6. Training for Promotion
• The talented employees may be given adequate
training to make them eligible for promotion to
higher jobs in the organization.
• Promotion of an employee means a significant
change in his responsibilities and duties.
• It is essential that employees be provided sufficient
training to learn new skills to perform his new duties
efficiently.
• The purpose of training for promotion is to develop
the existing employees to make them fit for
undertaking higher job responsibilities.

Lecture - 2
Methods of Training

Methods of Training
• There is a wide range of training methods and
techniques have been developed over the years by
various organizations and training experts.
• Different training methods are suitable for different
categories of people e.g. managerial and non-
managerial, technical, administrative, skilled,
unskilled, senior, junior etc.
• Each organization has to choose the methods and
techniques of training which are relevant for its
training needs.

Various methods of training may be classified
into the following categories:
I. On-the-job training.
II. Vestibule training.
III. Off-the-job training.

Methods of Training:
l. On-the-job Training (at the place of work)
(i) Coaching
(ii) Understudy
(iii) Position Rotation
II. Vestibule Training (adapted to the environment at the
place of work)
III. Off-the-job Training (away from the place of work)
(i) Special Lecture-cum-Discussion (ii) Conference
(iii) Case Study (iv) Sensitivity training
(v) Special projects (vi) Committee assignments.

1. On-The-Job Training
• Under this method, the worker is given
training at the work place by his immediate
supervisor.
• The worker learns in the actual work
environment. “learning by doing”.
• It is suitable for imparting skills that can be
learnt in a relatively short period of time.
• It has the chief advantage of strongly
motivating the trainee to learn.

• It is not located in an artificial situation. It
permits the trainee to learn on the equipment
and in the work-environment.
• On-the-job training methods are relatively
cheaper and less time consuming .
• On-the-job training is considered to be the
most effective method of training the
operative personnel.

There are three methods of on-the-job training
(i) Coaching.
Under this method, the supervisor imparts job
knowledge and skills to his subordinate. The
emphasis in coaching or instructing the subordinate is
on learning by doing. This method is very effective if
the superior has sufficient time.

(ii) Understudy.
The superior gives training to a subordinate as his
understudy or assistant. The subordinate learns
through experience and observation. It prepares the
subordinate to assume the responsibilities of the
superior’s job. The purpose of under study is to prepare
someone to fill the vacancy caused by death,
retirement, promotion, or transfer of the superior.

(iii) Position Rotation.
The purpose of Position rotation is to broaden the
background of the trainee in various positions, so
that he acquires a general background of different
jobs.
• However, rotation of an employee from one job to
another should not be done frequently, so that he
may acquire the full knowledge of the job.
• It is used to develop all-round-workers. The
employees learn new skills and gain experience in
handling different kinds of jobs. The employees learn
the interrelationship between different jobs.

Importance of On-the-job training
• On-the-job training techniques are most appropriate
for teaching knowledge and skills that can be learnt
in a relatively short time.
• If Trainer (Supervisor) understands training principles
and methods and if he takes an interest in proper
training, this can be very effective.
• Its chief advantage is that, it strongly motivating the
trainee to learn.

• It is not located in an artificial situation, either
physically or psychologically. It permits the trainee
to learn at the actual equipment and in the
environment of the job.
• On-the-job training methods are relatively cheaper
and less time consuming.
• If only a few persons are to be trained at one time,
it is cheaper for the employer as production does
not suffer.
• Line supervisors take an important part in training
their subordinates.

Why OJT is most effective?
• On-the-job training is the most effective method of
training the employees because it is in complete
accord with the three basic laws of learning:
(i) The law of readiness;
(ii) The law of exercise; and
(iii) The law of effect.
• When a person is confronted with a job which he is
potentially able to do and is interested in learning
how to do a job in order to hold it.

2. Vestibule Training Method
• Vestibule means a cabin and the term ‘vestibule
training’ is used to designate training in a cabin (or a
classroom) for semi-skilled jobs.
• It is more suitable where a large number of
employees have be trained at the same time for the
same kind of work.
• Well-qualified instructors in charge of training
programme is required.
• In this training method emphasis tends to be on
learning rather than production. Eg. clerks, machine
operators, typists, etc.

• An attempt is made to duplicate, as nearly as
possible, the actual material, equipment and
conditions found in the real work place.
• In vestibule training, the workers are trained on
specific jobs in a school run by the organization.
• Vestibule training is particularly suitable where it is
not advisable to put the burden of training on line
supervisors and where a special coaching is required.
• The staff of the vestibule school consists of expert
and specialist instructors.

• Their activities do not interfere with the
regular processes of production.
• The artificial training atmosphere may create
the adjustment problem for the trainees
when they return to the place of job.
• Vestibule training is relatively expensive
because there is duplication of materials,
equipment and conditions found in a real
work-place.

Lecture - 3
3. Off-The-Job Training
• The biggest demerit of off-the-job training methods
is that it require the worker to be absent from his
work place.
• Off-the-job training is the specialized, needs the use
of sophisticated equipment, and specialist trainer.
• The workers are free of tension of work while they
are learning.

There are several off-the-job training methods
as described below:
(i) Special Lecture cum Discussion.
(ii) Conference / Seminar Training.
(iii) Case Study.
(iv) Role Playing
(v) Behavioural Simulation Games
(vi) In-basket Exercises
(vii) Laboratory training

(i) Special Lecture cum Discussion
• It is a ‘class-room training’ associated with imparting
knowledge than with skills.
• Executives of the organization or specialists from
vocational and professional institutes may deliver the
special lectures.
• Experts for special lectures on areas like health,
safety, productivity, quality, etc.
• All jobs that can be learnt better in the classroom
than on the job.
Ex: Orientation about organization and safety
training can be accomplished more effectively in the
classroom.

• Trainer or Expert must have considerable depth of
knowledge of the subject at hand.
• He should be able to communicate his thoughts by
developing the interest in the class.
• The trainees generally take notes as an aid to
learning.
• The lecture method can be used for providing
instructions to large groups. Thus, the cost per
trainee is low.

Lecture method has certain limitations as-
• The learners may be passive.
• It violates the principle of learning by doing.
• It constitutes, one-way communication. It can
be made more interactive by permitting
learners to ask questions.
• Lectures can easily be combined with other
techniques like lecture-cum-discussion
method, Formal reading assignment or
demonstration and video films.

(ii) Conference / Seminar Training
• The conference implies sharing some information
with an audience of a large number of people.
• It is conducted in a big hall where the participants
are allowed to exchange their views and raise
queries.
• The proceedings of the conference are conducted by
the chairman who is also responsible for summing
up the proceedings of the conference.
• Video conferencing is also gaining popularity under
which people can participate in the conference
through link via satellite.

• A conference is a group meeting conducted
according to an organized plan in which the
members seek to develop knowledge and
understanding by oral participation.
• It is an effective training device for persons in the
positions of both conference member and
conference leader.
• As a member, a person can learn from others by
comparing his opinion with those of others.

• Participants’ learns to respect the viewpoints of
others and also realizes that there is more than one
workable approach to any problem.
• Seminars are also used for bringing various people
to a platform where they discuss various issues
relating to work.
• Seminars offer brainstorming platforms where more
than one brains work on solving work-related
problems.
• Seminars may include lecturing by external experts
as well.

(iii) Case Study
• The case method is a means of simulating
experience in the classroom.
• Trainees are given a problem or case which is more
or less related to the concepts and principles already
taught.
• Trainees analyze the problem and suggest solutions
which are discussed in the class.
• The Trainer helps them reach a common solution to
the problem.
• This method gives the trainee an opportunity to
apply his knowledge to the solution of realistic
problems.

• Cases may be used in either of the two ways.
• It can be used to the expansion of formal
theory under which the trainees apply their
knowledge of theory to specific situations.
• The trainees may be assigned the cases for
written analysis and oral discussion in the class
without any prior explanation of pertinent
concepts and theory.
The case study places heavy demands trainees
should have a good deal of maturity in the subject-
matter concerned.
The comprehension of cases can also vary.

(iv) Role Playing
• In Role Playing technique, the trainees are made to
experience what others feel of a particular situation.
• They understand the viewpoint of others and come
to know of constrains within which others are
working.
• Such an interaction and understanding helps in
reducing the dysfunctional conflicts within the
organizations.

• Many times, various departments of the organizations
disagree because they do not understand each others’
viewpoint.
• Role playing is an effective training technique to bridge the
differences between them.
For example: The sales staff is often asked to play the role
of the customers.
• Role-playing is a very flexible training method.
• It may be elaborately pre-planned, with each task specified.
• At the end the discussion trainer sum up the situation after
role-playing.
• This planning helps in time management otherwise the
exercise can go uncontrolled.

(v) Behavioural Simulation Games
• This method focus primarily on the process of inter-
personal relations, on how decisions are made, and
with what consequences, rather than on the
substance of the decisions.
• Structured exercises is used to predict all types of
simulations, but there is a distinction between a
game and an exercise.
• Games have set rules and have predictable results.
• Often, design of game is hidden in order to highlight
a behavioural process and to dramatize its effects.

• The repetition of the game becomes
meaningless on the other hand, repetition of
exercises simulate a process.
• Exercise provide scope for improvisation,
adaptation, and redesigning according to the
personal and situational needs.

Expert trainers use following steps for
designing instructional simulation:
1. Defining the instructional problems
2. Describing operational educational system.
3. Relating the operational system to the
problem.
4. Specifying objectives in behavioural terms.
5. Generating criterion measures.
6. Determining appropriateness of simulation.

7. Determining the type of simulation required.
8. Developing specifications of simulation experience.
9. Developing simulation type prototype.
10. Trying out simulation type prototype.
11. Modifying simulation type prototype.
12. Conducting field trial.
13. Making further modifications to the system on the
basis of the field trial.

(vi) In-basket Exercises
• These are more elaborate simulation exercises in
which a complex organization is created in the form
of an office environment. The trainees work in an
office setting with their in-basket full of
interdepartmental memos, letters, reports, forecasts
and other data on their desks, as one receives in an
office. The normal phone calls, emails and face to
face meetings also keep on happening to give a real
office-like environment. Such a simulation of the
office in-basket familiarizes the trainees with the role
that they are expected to play.

• They also get acquainted with the nature of
communication that they have to perform in the
work-settings. Critical incidents are also included in
the in-basket to familiarize to the trainees.
• While this is one of the most real-life experiences,
the trainees might get carried away with the
enactment of the scene and might not achieve the
desired goal, i.e. learning.

(vii) Laboratory training
• Laboratory training provides the participants with an
extensive experience of how various groups and
individuals interact in group situations.
• Laboratory is a controlled environment for training
where the external factor are not allowed to
interfere with the training process.
• The biggest advantage of laboratory training if its
effectiveness
• Limitation is that controlled conditions might not
provide a real-life enactment of the situations.

• 7.7 Choosing the Right Training Method
• The availability of a wide range of training
methods and techniques poses a problem of
choosing the one that solves the
organizations’ problems. Various training
methods are compared on three grounds, as
specified below:

• 1. Comparing on the basis of training
objectives.
• The most commonly specified training
objectives, used as a basis for evaluating a
training programme are:
– • Realistic and manageable part of the job.
– • Help with internalizing learning.
– • Protection for participants and organization
against mistakes.
– • Learning to learn

• 2. Comparing on the basis of learning process
and its stages.
• The training method is evaluated on the basis
of the following characteristics of learning
process:
– • Training programme being realistic.
– • Interaction and involvement of training
programme.
– • Experiences arising out of a training programme.
– • Training programme practices.

• • Feedback of training programme.
• • Repeat practices and feedbacks.
• • Conceptual understanding of task and
change process.
• • Creative experimentation in a training
programme.

• 3. Comparing training methods on the basis of
the available time, skills, facilities and
resources.
• Every training programme consumes several
resources and the capacity of the organization
to sacrifice the same can also be one of the
bases of choosing a training programme
method.

organization dealt with a difficult situation.
Trainees are required to:
 Analyze and critique actions taken
 Indicate the appropriate actions
 Suggest what might have been done differently
Major assumption of this approach is that
employees are most likely to recall and use
knowledge and skills learned through a
process of discovery.
7 - 77

Hands-on Methods: 4. Role Plays
• Trainees act out characters assigned to them.
• Information regarding the situation is
provided to the trainees.
• Focus on interpersonal responses.
• Outcomes depend on the emotional (and
subjective) reactions of the other trainees.

Action Learning (continued)
• Several types of problems are used including
how to:
–Change the business
–Better utilize technology
–Remove barriers between the customer and
company
–Develop global leaders
7 - 88

Choosing a Training Method
1. Identify the type of learning outcome that
you want training to influence.
2. Consider the extent to which the learning
method facilitates learning and transfer of
training.
3. Evaluate the costs related to development
and use of the method.
4. Consider the effectiveness of the training
method.
7 - 89

Training Materials and aids
The effectiveness of trainers is determined by the
degree and diversity of skills he possesses in
communicating with the trainees. In the process
use of training aids and equipment becomes
necessary so as to enhance the intensity and pace
of learning. It become imperative for a trainer to
impart knowledge and skills to the trainees and
make it effective by selecting appropriate aid. The
trainer should strive to be innovative in modifying
the aid to make it more suitable to a specific
training situation. Contd…

The training aids can be divided into:
1. Non Projected aids
2. Projected Aids
3. Field work
1. Non-Projected Aid
• Charts
• Posters
• Flush Cards
• Flip Charts
• Model
• Chalk Boards
Contd…

Tips for technology Training
There are some useful techniques for technology
trainers.
• Avoid Abstract Language.
• Do not take the keyboard and mouse away from the
learner.
• Pay attention to your body language during the
session.
• Most user interfaces are not perfect.
• Help should be given in the beginning and not when
things have become jeopardized.
• A computer is a means to an end.
• Nobody is born knowing his stuff.

Instrumentation of Training
Definition: It refers to devices used to “assess, evaluate,
describe, classify and summarize the varied aspects of
human behaviour.
The need for instrumentation
In most training situations, the participants need information
about themselves in order to understand their own strengths
and areas of needed improvement in a better manner. We
call this kind of information feed-back. Personalized feed
back is important as it helps the participant to understand
how others see him. The feed back also helps the
participant to understand himself in a systematic manner.
Use of instrument helps to open such a channel.

Audio-Visual Materials
These materials provide an important channel of
communication between the trainers and the trainer
group. Audio visual aids represent another key element
in the transaction between the trainers and the training
group, through a situation, objects, a graph or a
diagram. This provides a multi-sensory approach to
training and instruction that can bring a refreshing
change in the learning environment enhance interest
and raise the attention level of the participants. The
materials are pictures images, films, video, 3
dimensional presentations, audio materials like tapes
etc. Contd…

Advantages of Audio-Visual
• For enhancing the performance levels of
participants.
• The participants can relate to visual images and real
sound.
• Sometimes it can become a one way
communication, then one can promote participation
through interaction during the momentum and pace
of presentation.
• Materials can always be revised for clarifying a
point.
• This adds variety to presentation.
• A well selected film can vary the pace of
presentation and capture attention more easily.

2. Projected Aid
• Overhead Transparency Projector
• Opaque Sheet
• Slide and Film Stripes
• Films
• Computer with LCD
3. Field Work
It is through this method that trainees perceive
things better, relate theory with practice and
give rich feedback to the training agency.
