Methodologies for Correcting Deficiencies in Training Programs

Abstract

This report has four major sections. Section I discusses the scheme which was developed to guide training analysts in pinpointing shortcomings in instructional practices so that corrections would be specific to the problems. Section II presents and explains 15 principles regarding the use of practice, guidance and feedback. A training analyst should be thoroughly familiar with these 15 principles when he conducts a training program evaluation (TPE), determines sources of performance deficiencies and identifies revisions needed in instructional practices. Section II examines instructional deficiencies that might be indicated by items of evidence listed by the Harless Performance Guild, Inc. (contracted to develop a prototype TPE methodology). In this section, ways to pinpoint sources of training problems are explained together with corrective measures that focus on the sources. The final section discusses the five areas of administrative responsibility that are critical to effective training programs.
