Developing Learning Activities
Learn by Doing!
Once the objectives for the training are precisely stated, then learning activities can be identified and described.
Remember, when OSHA uses the terms, demonstrate, in their standards, the intent is that employees must be able to prove they can do something by actually doing it in the learning environment.
This means you'll need to include a hands-on learning activity to show employees how to do things. It also means you'll need to give them a chance to practice the procedure or task they're learning. Makes sense, doesn't it?
Learning activities are important for a number of reasons:
- They enable employees to demonstrate that they have acquired the desired skills and knowledge.
- They help ensure that employees effectively transfer the skills or knowledge from the training session to the job.
- They help make training more interesting and increase the motivation to learn.
