Implementing a Training Intervention to Increase Learning and Reduce Attrition

Abstract

SELF-REGULATION: Process that enables individuals to guide their goal-directed activities over time and across changing circumstances * Iterative process with a gradual effect on learning over time. SAMPLE PROMPTS - QUESTION 1: Research has shown that asking yourself questions about whether you are concentrating on learning the training material will increase how much you learn during training. The training program will periodically ask you questions about where you are directing your mental resources and whether you are making progress towards learning the training material Honestly respond to these questions and use your responses to direct your learning during training. CONCLUSIONS: Adults are capable of managing their own learning when they receive reminders to self-regulate * Prompting self-regulation is a no-cost intervention that enhances learning and reduces attrition * Prompts can be incorporated in any Web-based training course.
