Is training really counts?
Private employers spend
$210 billion a year for training,
while the government/ Dev Orgs spends an additional
$15
billion.
Are these training programs doing the job? Some are; some are
not. Highly effective adult learning requires certain conditions. The
question is, what are those conditions?

Key Training Environment Indicators
Safe & Supported
An environment where trainees feel safe and supported, where
individual needs and uniqueness are honored, where abilities and life
achievements are acknowledged and respected.
Encouragement
An environment that fosters intellectual freedom and
encourages experimentation and creativity.
www.windmillbd.org
Key Training Environment Indicators
Learn from Learners
An environment where faculty treats adult trainees as peers--accepted
and respected as intelligent experienced adults whose opinions are
listened to, honored, appreciated. Such faculty members often
comment that they learn as much from their trainees as the trainees
learn from them.
Self Directed Learning
Self-directed learning, where trainees take
responsibility for their own learning. They work
with trainer to design individual learning programs
which address what each person needs and
wants to learn in order to function optimally in
their profession.
www.windmillbd.org
Key Training Environment Indicators
Intellectual Challenge
Pacing, or intellectual challenge. Optimal pacing is challenging people just beyond
their present level of ability. If challenged too far beyond, people give up. If challenged
too little, they become bored and learn little. Pacing can be compared to playing tennis
with a slightly better player; your game tends to improve. But if the other player is far
better and it's impossible to return a ball, you give up, overwhelmed. If the other player
is less experienced and can return none of your balls, you learn little. Those adults
who reported experiencing high levels of intellectual stimulation--to the point of feeling
discomfort--grew more.
Active Learning
Active involvement in learning, as opposed to
passively listening to lectures. Where students and
instructors interact and dialogue, where students try
out new ideas in the workplace, where exercises and
experiences are used to bolster facts and theory,
adults grow more.
www.windmillbd.org
Key Training Environment Indicators
Regular feedback
Regular feedback mechanisms for students to tell faculty
what works best for them and what they want and need to
learn--and trainer who hear and make changes based on
trainees input.
