This updated edition of The Theory and Practice of Training has been expanded to include information on recent changes in the field of training. For this fourth edition, the authors have expanded on and amplified the wide-ranging structure of the book to produce a comprehensive outline of the major instructional and training concepts, and their relationship to training in practice. New sections cover:
- •
the role of computers and online training;
- •
recent developments in competency;
- •
lifelong learning;
- •
benchmarking and auditing.
The book is illustrated throughout with real-life examples and numerous figures and diagrams.
Issues examined in details include:
- •
the role of training in organisations;
- •
proactive and reactive assessments of training needs;
- •
theoretical models of training;
- •
competence-based training;
- •
training objectives;
- •
training strategies and training methods; and
- •
validation, evaluation and assessment of training.
Written with the newcomer to the training function particularly in mind, this book should prove as valuable to those seeking to put their training experience into a coherent context as it is to managers who need to understand the role that training can play.
