On Taught and Learned
Found this comic strip as I was doing some #research to update and improve my #TTT course. I am scheduled to do another one next week.
In my many years of being in #learningandevelopment, I have seen many wannabe #trainer and seasoned trainer, #bosses, #leaders, #CEOs #heads even amongst #learninganddevelopment practitioners having trouble to differentiate the two.
Many believe the two are the same. I hate to say this, they are not the same.
My staff and participants are becoming tiresome of me saying, "how do you know they know?". They are more likely to say, "because I have taught them". And I asked them again. They repeat the answer. You can see we are not getting anywhere.
So, when I do my TTT, I spend a bit of time on making sure they know this concept, and how to apply it in the #lesson they are #teaching. It takes awhile, but they eventually get it.
So, if you are in the midst of rolling out a #program, be very clear, you need to put in place an evaluation into the program to ensure participants get what they are supposed to get in the program, be it the #knowledge, #skills or #behaviors.
Unfortunately, many plan this post haste, after the course. This only #evaluate what the course has delivered. You have not ascertained whether that was what is needed for the #participants to improve their #performance at their jobs. Thus, there is this concept on evaluation called, #Validity and #Reliability. Reliability and validity are both about how well a method measures something: Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure (whether the results can be reproduced under the same conditions). Validity refers to the accuracy of a measure (whether the results really do represent what they are supposed to measure).
Good luck. Do call me if you want to have a conversation on this or anything on L&D, #leadershipdevelopment and "sewaktu dengannya". 😊
Regards and be moderate for the open houses this weekend.
