Use of media to conduct surveys.
They are conducting their actions online.
Conducting interviews with different people to gauge their services.
Rely on advertising themselves.
Outcomes (Who are the learners? Approximate #, multigenerational ? cultural ?
traditional, nontraditional, etc.):
The learners include the companies that are consistent in supplying different materials
like AGG Automotive who provide windshields. The AGG automotive is described with cultural
structures, which are: behaviors, customs, and norms.
Research Supports: The companies that look forward to being like tesla company ought to
follow their steps and advance some skills to enable their breakthrough. The skills are necessary
to facilitate/enable success in companies.
Module 4
For each of the three Learning Theory topics that follow, brainstorm instructional design considerations specific to your selected business/organization and the identified learning and learner needs from your need's assessment. Make sure to cite sources as appropriate.
Theory Instructional Design Considerations for your Business/Organization
Basic Theories of Learning: Behaviorism, Cognitivism & Constructivism, and Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Behaviorism: Involves where the trainer or
teacher observes the learner and the measurable
behavior then guiding to optimize the Learning.
Behaviorism can be used in Tesla Inc's
company, where trainees' behaviors are
OTL520: Assignments Template
examined, and they get the necessary guidance
on effective Learning.
Cognitivism focuses on understanding the
learning process of a student and how the
information learned is received, stored, and
arranged. In the tesla company, the instruction
giver will find ways to ensure the learning
environment supports learning to ensure the
information is well received.
Constructivism: It equalizes learning by
creating meaning from skill where the mind
interprets the input and interprets it in its way.
This can be used by trainers in the Tesla
company to ensure the learners gain much
experience, which is hard to erase from the
mind.
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:
These needs include safety, social, esteem,
psychological, and self-actualization. Humans
need to meet these needs to produce their full
potential in their work; hence the trainers in the
tesla company need to reach these needs for the
trainers to work effectively.
Malcom Knowles' Adult Learning (or Andragogy)
Malcolm, an American educator, suggested that
andragogy is any system of adult education. It
OTL520: Assignments Template
makes the learner understand that the reason
for Learning is to attain their goals, to meet
their needs, and be orderly. This could be
effective in the tesla company as the learners
know that Learning is for their benefit.
Individual Characteristics of Learning: Motivation, Goals, Experience, Culture and Generational Differences
Motivation in instructional design is an
important tool that ensures instructions are
analyzed well hence followed effectively.
Goals of an instructional design are necessary
as it makes accessible and makes the learner
meet the anticipated goal.
Experience in instructional design is effective
because it helps notice any performance gaps
of the targeted people, and this experience
helps to close the gap.
Cultural differences in the instructional
design should be paid attention to and avoided
to ensure the necessary practices are always in
order.
Generational differences are common in any
working environment, and it should not be a
cause of the downfall of a company as it should
help once the people concerned help each other
