Training, Learning, and
Motivation
Make the Learning Meaningful
1. At the start of training, provide a bird’s-eye view of the material to be presented to facilitate learning.
2. Use a variety of familiar examples.
3. Organize the information so you can present it logically, and in meaningful units.
4. Use terms and concepts that are already familiar to trainees.
5. Use as many visual aids as possible.
6. Create a perceived training need in trainees’ minds.
Training, Learning, and
Motivation (cont’d)
Make Skills Transfer Easy
1. Maximize the similarity between the training situation and the work situation.
2. Provide adequate practice.
3. Label or identify each feature of the machine and/or step in the process.
4. Direct the trainees’ attention to important aspects of the job.
5. Provide “heads-up,” preparatory information that lets trainees know what might happen back on the
job.

Motivation (cont’d)
Reinforce the Learning
1. Trainees learn best when the trainers immediately reinforce correct responses, perhaps with a quick
“well done.”
2. The schedule is important. The learning curve goes down late in the day, so that “full day training is not
as effective as half the day or three-fourths of the day.”
