Assignment title: Information
Learning Theory/ Training Objectives Assignment
This assignment has two different parts.. Be sure to do both parts.
Part 1: Set Training Objectives
Using the information which you developed for the Training Analysis Assignment, create 4 (Four)
training objectives for your training program utilizing the information from Chapter 5. Remember that
you must not only think about what you want your trainees to learn, but also how those trainees will
demonstrate they have learned the information and understand it. There are 4 types of training
objectives (see page 152, Table 5 – 5). You must use ALL of the 4 training objective types in your
training objectives (Trainee Reaction Objectives; Learning Objectives; Transfer of Training
Objectives; Organizational Outcome Objectives). If you develop a training program for individuals
who are taking your training for self improvement, you will need to discuss the Organizational
Outcome Objectives based on how the training will improve this trainee’s future performance at an
organization/ company. If your program is already directed to employees of a company, then you
should be able to set the Organizational Outcome Objective based on that. A good training objective
has three components:
Desired Outcome: What should be expected to occur?
Conditions: Under what conditions is the outcome expected to occur?
Standards: What criteria signify that the outcome is acceptable?
Here is an example that a student doing the topic of "Developing Meeting Agendas" might
write:
Desired Outcome: Create an agenda for an effective meeting.
Conditions: Using a modern word processor and computer, trainees will create the
agenda by the deadline of one week before the meeting.
Standards: The agenda created will be in the correct format, including all topics to be
discussed, with the date of the meeting, with a beginning and ending time for the meeting as well as
the location, purpose and overview of the meeting. Agendas will be submitted on time (a week
before the meeting).
Part 2: Social Learning Theory/ Gagne Briggs 10 –Step Model (Table 5 – 11; Pg. 179)
Create a chart like the one in Table 5 -11 for your training program. Review the material about
Social Learning Theory from Chapter 3. Review Gagne’s Steps. Once you have reviewed the text
material, create a Gagne-Briggs Chart (10 step) for your training program. Be sure to do this part
because it will be the foundation for the next assignment.
