Planning the Training

Refer to both the Overall Concept for Assignments 1-4 and your responses from Assignment 1 in order to complete this assignment.Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you: Outline the most significant elements or steps of the task upon which the training will focus (See Assignment 1). Using the selected adult learning theory from Assignment 1, analyze the how the theory would support the learners’ mastery of the task. Justify your response. Propose one or more instructional settings for the training being planned based on the nature of the task(s) and the selected theoretical model (e.g., instructor-led in a classroom or self-directed online.) Provide a rationale for the setting(s) selected. Propose instructional activities to deliver training on the task(s) that are consistent with the selected theoretical model, the intended audience’s characteristics, and the selected training setting. Instructional activities would include the instruction strategies and methods used to teach the tasks, instructional resources (media, materials, technology) needed to teach the task, and student activities needed to learn competent performance of task. Indicate all needed technology components that you plan to integrate into the training. Determine how the selected adult learning theory could influence your technology selection. Recommend strategies that you would use in order to accommodate the learners who may not be familiar with technology. Propose a timeline for development and implementation of the training, providing a rationale for your views. Determine how the selected theoretical model and the intended audience characteristics could influence the time needed to develop and teach the identified tasks. Propose three (3) strategies for evaluating the effectiveness of the training during and after development. Determine how the selected theoretical model and the intended audience characteristics could influence your evaluation strategies. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Analyze the basic principles of selected teaching and learning theories. Evaluate the methods that businesses and other post-secondary education environments use to respond to adult learning needs. Evaluate the degree to which learning is influenced by psychology, growth, and development as well as learning in and out of formal settings. Use technology and information resources to research issues, current trends, theories, and learning strategies for adult learning and development. Write clearly and correctly about issues in adult learning and development using proper writing mechanics.Here is the overall concept for assignments 1-4: Assignments OverviewThis course consists of four (4) writing assignments. When completed, the combined assignments will comprise a lesson, a presentation, and a reflective element that may be used within various adult learning environments. This is an individual activity; each student will turn in four (4) separate assignments. Overall Concept for Assignments 1-4For Assignments 1-3, you will assume that you are in management at an organization where your supervisor has asked you to develop a training plan for a specific constituency, such as employees, customers, clients, or the general public. Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing training plans from either your current or a former place of employment, or from an organization with which you are familiar. However, in those instances, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organization(s) that you have used. Assignment 4 is primarily a reflective piece within which you will forecast the future of adult education. The goals of the project are four (4) fold, in which you demonstrate: Your understanding of the theoretical foundations of the training, including social, economic, demographic, technological, and environmental forces that shape adult education Your understanding of theories and recommended application strategies geared toward fostering meaningful teaching and learning Your understanding of the roles that different perspectives, along with adult learning theories and models, play in the contemporary quest to meet the needs of diverse learners Your understanding of learning theories, learning practices, and the implications for transfer in effort to deal with real life situations Grading Rubric:Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.Points: 190 Assignment 2: Planning the TrainingCriteria UnacceptableBelow 70% F Fair70-79% C Proficient80-89% B Exemplary90-100% A1.
