I would wait to start Im going to upload chapters for (Noe) textbook in a few hours but heres the instructions. Also going to upload my training program

Work on this assignment after reading the section on Learning Theories in Ch. 4, Noe 7th (pp. 161-173). If you use the 9th edition, then pp. 156-165.

Select two learning theories that help you provide a framework for your training program. Describe the theories and state how they will inform the design of your training program.

Guidelines for your post:

Subject: Name of the learning theories that you will discuss

Structure:

1. A brief description of your training program (audience & learning goals)
2. Description of two learning theories
3. Discussion how the theories will inform the design of your training program

Note 1: In the 7th edition, Ch. 4, theres a reference to “learning styles” – we no longer use this terminology / theory. Watch the TedTalk by Tesia Marshik under “Optional/Recommended Resources” as Tesia provides an explanation “why”.

Note 2: Feel free to consider a learning theory from OILS 541 The Adult Learner, if you find that the theory is appropriate in your context (and not discussed in Noe). Then, please provide a link to a good source for students to learn more about the theory.

Your initial post should be at least 350 words but no more than 700 words.

i would recommend you dont start yet these are the instructions but I wont be able to upload the textbook(Noe) chapters until about 1pm today. But these are the instructions

After reading Noe’s Ch 3, do the following:

Step 1. Develop a competency model for a job held by a friend, spouse, or subordinate (someone other than yourself). To develop your model, follow the process discussed in Chapter 3 (Noe). Create a sketch of the model (a diagram or a table; See Table 3.10 “Examples of Competencies at Voya Financial” in Noe’s 9th ed., on p 141 in text or p 46 in e-book,as an example). This is not just a list of competencies, detail out what the competency means. As you work on your model, reflect on the process and note the most difficult part in developing the model.

Step 2. Go to

the website for CareerOnestop, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, to help job seekers, students, businesses, and career professionals. Choose one of the industry competency models (under “Industry Models”) that is closely related to the job for which you developed your model in Step 1. Review the model and consider whether you want to make any changes in the model developed in Step 1. If needed, make necessary changes.

Important: Your final model doesn’t need to resemble any particular model from CareerOnestop. Step 2 is just to inform your thinking about your own model.

Note: If the person is in the training and development field, feel free to utilize and/or build on ATD Talent Development Capability Model or previous ATD Competency Model.

Optional/Recommended: Show your work to your friend or colleague (whose job you considered for this assignment) and get feedback on your model. Modify it further, if necessary.

Step 3. Upload your final model (as an image) to this forum. In your post, write two-three paragraphs describing your model / your reflection on the process.

Guidelines for your post:

Subject: Job title

Structure:

1. Two-three paragraphs describing of your model / your reflection on the process of developing the model.
2. Uploaded image of the final model.

Your response should be at least 400 words but no more than 700 words.
