Take Test: Unit II Assessment Question In motivating trainees to learn, which of the following needs - existence, relatedness, or growth - should be the focus? Existence s Relatedness Growth Both B & C All of the above(p.64)ok points Question The _ the self efficacy, the _ the performance higher; worse higher; better( P.72)dung lower; worse lower; better all of the above are possible points Question Which of these statements is inaccurate? Maslow is known for his early work on needs and motivation( P.64) Alderfrer developed a needs theory based on Maslow's early work Existence needs are the highest order needs(p.64)dung Relatedness reflects people's need to be valued by others Recognition can fulfill growth needs Question Which of the following statements best explains the relationship between training and self efficacy? The two concepts are not related Training can act to improve low self efficacy only when employees have the required KSA's It is useful to assess trainee self efficacy prior to training only Self efficacy beliefs are a good predictor of learning in the training environment ( P.73)ok points Question The Gagne-Briggs theory of instructional design argues that The learning process cannot be influenced by the trainer The external events influence the internal learning process(P.78)ok Presenting the material should be the first step in training program The order of events does not alter the results points Question Theories are useful for model building but impractical for practitioners generally developed by all of us to help us understand how things work in our world concrete steps in the "how to" world useful when they describe a set of facts and develop a logical rationale for what is likely to be true, given those facts both B & D( P.61)ok points Question In social learning, theory retention(giulai)has three phases which are attention, symbolic coding, behavioral reproduction recognize, recall, retain attention, motivation, symbolic coding None of the above.(P.76)ok points Question Understanding needs theory is important in the training process because: Needs theory helps identify reasons why some people not perform well(P.64) Needs theory can help determine what kind of training will be more effective Needs theory can inform the choice of environment where training is held Needs theory can help identify motivators that will improve performance All of the above points Question Negative reinforcement reduces the likelihood of a behavior increases the likelihood of a behavior requires removal of something unpleasant both A & C both B & C.(P.68)dung points Question 10 The formula for performance (M X KSA X E) suggests only two of the three factors need to be favorable to obtain high performance if motivation is high and KSA's are adequate, at least moderate performance will be achieved if the environment is highly conducive to high performance, then motivation is not very important none of the above are correct.ok points Question 11 30 points Explain Social Learning Theory According to Albert Bandura and his associates (2000), the theory is about a model of learning known variously as observational learning, vicarious learning, and most often, social learning theory Social learning theory is the view that people learn by observing others or social learning theory explains how people learn new behaviors, values, and attitudes Albert Bandura and his associates (2000) indicates that the cognitive processes that are a part of social learning theory are motivation, attention, retention, and to some extent behavioral reproduction Motivation influences and is influenced by the other processes The learner’s needs determine what things receive attention and are processed for retention (Blanchard, & Thacker, 2000) Bandura (1977) states that in order to learn, learners need to be paying attention Anything that detracts their attention is going to have a negative effect on observational learning If the model interesting or there is a novel aspect to the situation, they are far more likely to dedicate your full attention to learning Once attention is focused on an object or event, the ability to store information is also an important part of the learning process Retention can be affected by a number of factors, but the ability to pull up information later and act on it is vital to observational learning Behavioral reproduction is repeated practice (Blanchard, & Thacker, 2000) Once learners have paid attention to the model and retained the information, it is time to actually perform the behavior you observed Further practice of the learned behavior leads to improvement and skill advancement In short, Social Learning Theory states behavior which is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning References Blanchard, N.P., & Thacker, J (2010) Effective training, systems, strategies and practices (Custom 4th ed.)
