Approaches To Training And Development

A greater emphasis on 'learning' as opposed to 'training'. This is not simply a pedantic difference but is a sea change indicating a major movement from the role of the trainer to that of the learn in a training programme. 'Training' stems from the trainer who, in being the principal in a programme, has the expectation that the participants will learn as a result of the messages being passed to them. 'Learning' is the internal action and result for the participants and places learning activities firmly where they belong-in the hands of the learners themselves, aided and supported by the trainers from the 'stand at the front of the group and tell them' approach to one where they have a multi-role as both providers of learning resources (Sometimes, but not always, in the form of their input sessions), and facilitators helping the learners in their learning achievements.
