Welcome Manda Vrkljan!
Questions from exit cards Content ¨ How do you build a sense of belonging? ¨ Why don’t organizations have ‘harsher’ training bonds? (e.g. have employees stay
longer than 5 years) ¨ What’s the most efficient way to train employees and lessen the skill gap? ¨ How will employees react to training – defensively or optimistically? ¨ What are some additional examples of HR policies that are centered around T&D that
are good in theory but not good in practice? ¨ Can we use the ISD and apply it to employees’ distinctive personalities? ¨ How do we maintain the reputation from the employer’s perspective? ¨ Does organizational culture impact employees’ behaviour? ¨ HR departments – what’s the difference between being a strategic partner vs. a business
partner? ¨ Are training bonds legally bound? ¨ Are there training laws in other provinces/territories?
Class logistics ¨ When will groups be created? How will we contact our group members? ¨ How will participation be graded?

Adaptive Character of Thought (ACT) Theory
12
© Anny Fong
Stage 1
• Declarative knowledge
• Facts, information
• Performance is resource dependent
Stage 2
• Knowledge compilation
• Integrating tasks into sequences
• Performance could be fragmented and piecemeal
Stage 3
• Procedural knowledge
• Task mastery • Performance
is automatic and habitual
¨ Learning takes place in stages ¤ Different types of learning occurs at different stages
¨ How cognitive ability and motivation impact performance depend on stage of learning
Learning Styles 13
© Anny Fong
¨ Individuals differ in how they prefer to learn and how they learn best
¨ Models of learning styles we’ll explore ¤ Kolb’s experiential learning theory ¤ Fleming’s VARK model
Kolb’s learning styles 14
© Anny Fong
¨ How an individual gathers information and processes it during learning
¨ Combination of learning modes (gather/process) results in learning style
How to learn experience
(gather)
Concrete Experiences (CE) •Have a specific experience
Abstract Conceptualization (AC) •Think about what is happening and analyze it
How to deal with experience
(process)
Active Experimenting (AE) •Involve yourself in directly in the experience
Reflective Observation (RO) •Observe and reflect on experience
Kolb’s learning styles 15
© Anny Fong
Converging AC+AE Thinking and doing Technical over social
Diverging CE+RO Feeling
and watching
Better for idea-
generation
Assimilating AC+RO Thinking
and watching
Focus on logic and
theory
Accommodating CE+AE Feeling and doing Intuition
over logic
Kolb’s learning styles – Implications 16
© Anny Fong
¨ People learn best by using all 4 styles ¨ Learning cycle – use all 4 styles in a
sequence ¨ Learning is most effective when all steps in
learning cycle are part of learning experience
Kolb’s learning styles – Criticisms 17
© Anny Fong
¨ Validity? ¤ Unclear if instrument measures what it claims
¨ Accepted as management education as a given
¨ Focuses on the individual and ignores social and other key context variables (Reynolds, 1997)
Fleming’s learning styles (VARK) 18

¨ Individual’s preferred way of gathering, organizing, and thinking about information

VARK – Implications 19
© Anny Fong
¨ People differ in the way they prefer to learn
¨ Motivation and success in training depends on matching training with learning style
¨ Design training programs to appeal to different learning styles
¨ Design programs with each learning mode as part of a sequence of learning experiences
IKEA case discussion
Breakout Discussion 1. What are the outcomes of the IKEA manager
training program? What do managers learn and how do they learn?
2. To what extent does the manager training program follow the ACT theory? What changes would you make (if any)?
3. What learning styles were incorporated into training? What changes would you make (if any)?
4. What are some practical challenges of implementing this training?
