APPENDIX

A TEAMWORK AND DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS TRAINING PROCESS

3. Design of Team and Diagnostic Skill Training

During the design phase, learning objectives are developed based on the results of the

analysis phase. The objectives form the "blueprint" which guide the development of all

training material, tests, and strategies.

Write terminal learning objectives based on the information from the analysis

phase.

Write enabling learning objectives from the skills and knowledge based on

the job and task.

Include condition, action statement, and standard in objectives.

Prepare objectives that will facilitate subsequent development of team

and diagnostic skills evaluation criteria.

Prepare evaluation criteria based on team and diagnostic skills objectives for

each exercise and write test items for each objective.

4. Development of Team and Diagnostic Skills Training

During the development phase, the team and diagnostic skills training program is created

from the results of the design phase. This program should be designed to be given to each

member of a team.

Develop training based on learning objectives.

Use self-study, lecture, or presentation methods as appropriate for presenting

materials. (Management training firms supply training kits that can be used

for teamwork and diagnostic skills training. Do not re-invent the wheel.)

Focus on defining skills, identifying relationships between skills,

understanding fundamental principles, identifying strategies for

application of these skills, and providing examples of applications.
