3rd Assignment:
The Learning Process:
Mental and physical processes:
These processes include expectancy, perception, working storage, semantic
encoding, retrieval, generalizing, and gratification.
1. Expectancy:
Expectancy refers to the mental state that the learner brings to the
instructional process. This include factors such as readiness for training
(motivation to learn, basic skills) as well as an understanding of the purpose of the
instruction.
2. Perception:
Perception refers to the ability to organize the message from the
environment so that it can be processed and acted upon.
3. Working storage:
Working storage rehearsal and repetition of information occur,
allowing material to be coded for memory.
4. Semantic encoding:
Semantic encoding refers to the actual coding process of incoming
messages.
5. Retrieval:
Involves indentifying learned material in long-term memory and
using it to influence performane.
6. Generalizing:
An important part of the learning process is not only being able to
reproduce exactly what was learned but also being able to adapt the
learning for use in similar but not identical situations.
7. Gratifying:
Gratifying refers to the feedback that the learner receives as a result
of using learning content. Feedback is necessary to allow the learner to
adapt responses so they are more appropriate.
Structional Emphasis For Learning Outcomes:
Different internal and external conditions are necessary for learning each
outsomes. Internal conditions refer to processes within the learner that must be
present for learning to occur. These processes include how information is
registered, stored in memory, and recalled. External conditions refer to processes
in the learning environment that facilitate learning. These conditions include the
physical learning environment as well as opportunities to practice and receive
feedback and reinforcement.
Considerations in Designing Effective Training Programs:
Selecting and Preparing the Training Site:
The Training site refers to the room where training will be conducted. A good
training site offers the following features:
1. It is comfortable and accessible.
2. It is quiet, private, and free from interruptions.
3. It has sufficient space for trainees to move easily around in.
