Training Industry Magazine - September/October 2021 - 21
The strategy: To deliberately group
the learners - prior to when the training
session begins, which is a key element
to this strategy's effectiveness. This
is done by mindfully pre-grouping
participants by their experience level
prior to a training session, instead of
letting the participants sit next to the
coworker whom they know so well.
The result: A more organic
interaction can be cultivated, which
can yield a collaborative approach to
problem-solving.
This strategy is based off of one of
Malcolm Knowles' theories on adult
learners. Active participation in planned
experiences - such as discussions
or
problem-solving exercises, an
analysis of those experiences and their
application to work or life situations -
should be the core methodology for
training adults. Adults learn and retain
information more easily if they can
relate it to their past experiences.
The Categories
The learner's experience can be divided
into three categories: new hire, midlevel
and senior-level. These are the
three categories which have worked in
our experience. However, this training
strategy does not necessarily involve
grouping or ranking by job title, nor
does it need to be by organization levels
within the company:
New hire: Someone who is new to
organization. This can range from an
employee who is new to both his or her
career and to the company/industry.
Experience can be up to two years.
Mid-level: Someone who may have
many years' experience within the
company/industry, yet new to your
company. Experience can range from
two to 10 years.
Senior-level: Someone with vast
experience both within the organization
and industry. Experience is typically
more than 10 years.
The best way to group by experience
is to know the experience of the
learner prior to attending the training
session. This information can be
acquired by a registration form and
then arranged as much as possible into
triads, with one learner representing
each of the experience levels. In an
ideal world, each group would have at
least representative. However, this is
rarely the case. The groups might end
up being one senior-level with two
newbies. Or a group may only have midlevel
experienced learners. And that's
okay: Just know that, as a trainer, you
may have to offer additional support
and guidance to those groups that don't
have a more " seasoned " learner.
If you don't have or can't get the
participants' experience levels prior to
class, you can have each learner identify
themselves and situate each group in a
