1.4.4 Templating

Training content can be determined by the careful review/analysis of a

template (a list of facility systems, theory topics, or a list of generic

learning objectives). The template technique uses a simplified

process for determining content or developing learning objectives

associated with the operation or maintenance of a specific facility

system. This technique produces generic and system-specific

learning objectives for the training and evaluation of facility personnel.

Some facilities have approached the design of training based on the

systems an individual operates or maintains. A template containing

generic learning objectives is reviewed by subject matter experts for

applicability. This approach directly generates system-specific

terminal and enabling learning objectives. It is important that the

template be carefully reviewed to determine the applicability of each

item to the system. If this review is not accomplished, the result can

readily become "know everything about everything." Appendix B

contains an example template for system knowledge and skills.

The template technique includes the following steps:

Develop or modify an existing template to meet facility needs.

Use of a trainer and a subject matter expert(s) to select

applicable objectives and/or complete portions of the template

for a given system, component, or process.

Application of the Systematic Approach to Training

Traditional applications of SAT encourage application of the process in

distinct steps. Analysis, design, development, and implementation are

accomplished in sequence and one phase is completed before the next is

started. Evaluation is conducted during and after each phase. Alternatives

encourage integration of these steps whenever possible. This simply means

that there will likely be some analysis that occurs in the design and

development phases and some design work can be accomplished in the
