Question 1 (1 Full page plus references)

 

For its 2015 Training Industry ReportTraining Magazine (2015) surveyed more than 700 U.S.-based corporations and educational institutions.  Training delivery was one of the topics explored.  Seventy-three percent of the survey respondents reported that they use online training methods such as virtual classrooms, webcasts, video broadcasting, and mobile applications for mandatory or compliance training; approximately 26% of all training hours are delivered by such methods (Training, 2015).  Have you participated in any electronic training at work?  If so, how well did the e-training comply with the Gagne’s Nine Step Training Design model (discussed in Week 5) and Adult Learning Theory (discussed in Week 4)?  Based on what you have learned so far in the course, what could have improved your learning experience?

Question 3 (1 Full page plus references)

 

This week's tool is the Teaching Perspectives Inventory (TPI), a free assessment tool. If you are a trainer or an instructor, or are interested in becoming a trainer or instructor, you might find your TPI results illuminating. The TPI allows teachers to assess their own actions, intentions, and beliefs regarding teaching and learning. The TPI can help you understand what "good teaching" means to you by giving you scores on five perspectives toward teaching: transmission, apprenticeship, developmental, nurturing, and social reform. You can read more about the five teaching perspectives in an article by Pratt (2002) called Good Teaching: One Size Fits All? The article is in the eReserves section of our classroom (in the Course Resources module) and is also available through the UMUC library. However, I encourage you not to read the article until after you have taken the TPI. 

To take the TPI, click on this link: http://www.teachingperspectives.com/tpi/ The site will ask for your name and email address. Note that UMUC is not a member of any of the groups currently using the TPI.  You will be asked to focus on a specific group of learners and specific content.  If you are not currently a trainer or instructor, think about a situation where you have had to teach someone else.  Perhaps you had to train a new coworker or a new employee, or you potty-trained your child, or you taught your teenager how to drive.  Once you finish the inventory, you will receive an immediate report with your scores and interpretive information. 

Was your teaching perspective what you expected? Would your style be a good fit for an online environment?  Why?  Is it consistent with other assessments you have taken? How do you think the TPI could be useful for a T&D professional?

Cultural Competence

Resources

As U.S. demographics shift and economic globalization continues, organizations are becoming increasingly diverse. To sustain a competitive advantage and enhance organizational performance, HRM professionals must help to develop an environment that acknowledges and values employee differences. Throughout your career, you will see national demographics evolve and the make-up of the nation's population change. Diversity will become the norm and not the exception in the coming years. This is not a matter of policy; it is a matter of the changing face of the country. HRM professionals are at the forefront of the evolving landscape of the nation. This means that you should work to expand your knowledge of diversity and the many cultures that now comprise our nation. In an effort to help guide this part of your development you will be presented with readings about cultural competence. It is a very important portion of the course and the reality of the modern workplace. For this discussion, address the following:

  • Complete the Cultural Competency Survey for Managers and Supervisors, to assess the cultural competence of your organization.
  • Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your organization's cultural competence.
  • Support your analysis with the survey results and examples of initiatives and actions you have witnessed in your organization.

  • From the perspective of an HR manager, what inclusion strategies could you use, or what actions could you take?
  • Are there organizational impacts that need to be considered?
  • Does your organization currently have any constraints that would hinder your actions?
  • How might they be overcome?
