3DES DESIGNING LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

 

 Unit Overview 

In this unit of cipd level 3, you'll discover how to design learning and development activities that will help you improve your knowledge and skills. The L&D professionals try to build learning activities that take into account the distinctions between the learners and are focused toward helping them achieve important goals. Learning and Development (L&D) activities and considerations that support L&D objectives for individuals are discussed in this unit.

Learning Outcome 

• Ability to comprehend the issues that influence the design of L&D activities
• Acquaint yourself with the concepts of adult learning that guide the design of L&D activities.
• Be able to identify the variables that must be known about learners in order to construct meaningful L&D activities
• Acquire the ability to transform data into objectives.
• Recognize various techniques of learning/training and their applicability for achieving certain learning objectives

L&D activity design influenced by the following variables:

Using this lesson, you can learn about the various things to keep in mind when creating learning and development activities. Employee health and safety, welfare, data protection, and professionalism laws are all included in the list of legislative factors that must be taken into consideration. As well as the formation of distinct organisational structures that influence the nature of the organization's functions, organisational factors include the L&D policies, practises, processes, and cultures that are taken into account inside the company. In order to provide learning and development opportunities for employees, learners must ensure that they grasp the main elements that have an impact on the complexity of the organisation.

Pedagogies for teaching adults

The section considers a variety of adult learning theories in the design of learning and development activities. Individual learning differences should be taken into consideration by the students, based on the examination of the theoretical models. These include Bloom's taxonomy, Kolb's theory, and Gardner's model of education. As a result of studying these ideas, students are able to better understand their own experiences, which in turn influences their decisions on what learning activities they should engage in.

Designing L&D activities with learners in mind

L&D practitioners should take into account the professional map's learning needs while developing L&D activities. In terms of behaviour, knowledge, and professional spheres, these are all relevant. Employee abilities and intended areas of evaluation are also taken into account, as well as how learners progressed from their starting positions. Other considerations include the preferences of the learners and the logistics of the learners in order to attain a successful L&D objective.

Creating Learning and Development (L&D) Goals

To guarantee that the learning objectives set are met, L&D practitioners must ensure that they explicitly articulate the learning objectives while developing L&D activities. Learning how to transform information into objectives is critical in this view. Leaners should be involved in the design of L&D activities before, during, and after training and learning sessions delivered to employees in order to accomplish this goal (Biginas, Sarantinos, and Koumproglou, 2020).

Method of instruction

It was a pleasure to hear about the various teaching strategies that may be used to help students improve their skills. A few of these kinds of instruction include: classroom instruction, on-the-job training and off-the-job training, as well as the use of distance learning and video conferencing. There are several ways to help employees with specific learning needs get the most out of their work experience. It is important for students to determine their own learning needs prior to deciding on the learning and development objectives, so that they may better prepare for the unit and the activities in the unit. So students can get a better grasp on how to acquire the value of education by examining the most significant learning strategies to consider.
