, Active Training Training that guarantees actively involved participants. The basis of Active
Training is a cooperative learning approach where learners learn from one
another. Examples include: games, role-plays, simulation, and discussion
groups.
Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Evaluation Model Level 1 - Reaction - At the end of the training; Level 2 - Learning - Before,
during, and after the training (Knowledge); Level 3 - Behavior - A few weeks
after the training (Performance); Level 4 - Result - 3 mo - 1 year after the
training (Effect on organization); Level 5 - ROI
Behaviorism A learning theory that operates on a principle of "stimulus-response." It states
that all behavior is caused by external stimuli. Focus on "reward"; less
concerned with mental process
Behaviorism - techniques Prompting, cueing, behavior modeling, stimulating, role playing, skill drilling,
and positive reinforcing
Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning The idea that there are 3 outcomes to learning that are based on 3 different
areas: the cognitive (knowledge) domain, the psychomotor (skills) domain, and
the affective (attitude) domain. Often referred to as KSAs (Knowledge, Skills,
Attitudes). In Bloom's original model, he identified different levels of learning
from the lowest (knowledge and understanding) to the highest (synthesis and
evaluation).
Chunk A section of content that usually includes learning materials organized with
each other to help increase learning retention. Trainers should break the
sections down into smaller "bites" that allow the learner to apply and
understand the material more easily.
Cognitive Dissonance Theory Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding
conflicting ideas simultaneously. This conflict often is a driving force that spurs
the human mind to invent new thoughts, or to modify existing beliefs so as to
minimize or remove the dissonance and discomfort.
Cognitivism An approach to learning that asserts learning happens when individuals are
exposed to data presented logically. Information can be imparted logically
through lecture, conversation with Subject Matter Experts, readings, films, and
diagrams. It's the ""tell"" approach to learning.
Cognitivism - Techniques Diagrams, films, panels, interview with SMEs, class presentations, readings,
debates, case studies
