STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION
Collaborative learning develops from stakeholder involvement as follows:
Staff attending training are involved in the entire training cycle process:
-
Pre training delivery
-
Training delivery
-
Post training delivery
PRE TRAINING DELIVERY
As part of pre training delivery the following would need to be addressed:
-
How has a training need been identified?
-
Could a solution to the business/organisational problem be a non-training solution?
-
Can the results of the proposed training be measured either quantitatively or qualitatively?
Key to the success of staff training is training need identification, which is an integral component of pre-training delivery stage.
The main staff training needs are listed below:
1. Fixing a problem e.g. underperformance, inappropriate behaviour…
2. Addressing a specific skill gap e.g. how to use new software system.
3. Enhancing capability e.g. developing staff for the future.
4. Ensuring a standard level of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) among staff e.g. induction.
5. Ensuring a certified level of KSA among staff.
6. Regulation/legally required training e.g. health and safety.
Once the training need has been clearly identified it is possible to laser in on producing learning objectives that will result in highly effective training.
As part of pre training delivery content creation reviews the most appropriate teaching methodologies to achieved the desired learning outcomes:
-
Pre course reading content
-
Pre course activities
-
Interactive tutorials
-
Reading material
-
Audio visual learning material
-
Demonstration activities
-
Group discussions
-
Practice by doing options
-
Teaching others
-
Self evaluation sessions
-
Feedback sessions
-
Post training tasks
Training content is developed to utilise a variety of mediums such as presentations, flip chart, interactive whiteboard, power point, interactive micro tasks, video, case studies, group discussions and role play.
Training content is finalised by ensuring it is aligned to the organisation's values.
TRAINING DELIVERY
Training can be delivered in person or on line.
During training participants will be involved in activities designed to develop and deepen their understanding of the topics covered. Participants will engage in individual and group tasks to reinforce the learning objectives of the course.
Training delivery utilises Gagne's nine levels of learning to maximise learner engagement.
POST TRAINING DELIVERY
As part of post training delivery the following would need to be addressed:
-
Staff will be required to attend a post training evaluation session utilising the Brinkerhoff success case method of evaluation
-
Staff will be encouraged to set up learning pods amongst themselves to continue their learning journey.
