3. Introduction Curriculum is designed for certain aims and objectives
Syllabus provide us with KSA components to actualize curricular objectives
Text books are tools for curricular transaction
Modules are meant for macro objective realization
Capsule is meant for micro objective realization
Modules can be prepared for both teaching and training purposes

4. Curriculum is designed for certain aims and objectives
Syllabus
Syllabus provide us with KSA components to actualize curricular objectives
Books
Text books are tools for curricular transaction
Macro Objectives
Modules are meant for macro objective realization
Micro objectives
Capsule is meant for micro objective realization

5. Module
Independent training unit used to realize a macro training objective
Part of a Training manual
A trainer’s guide for taking up training
A complete – self-contained – learning unit to transact knowledge & develop skills
A compendium of components of training arranged in a sequential order

6. Designing a Training Module -1
Employee’s existing ASK
Employee’s requirement in ASK areas
Gap between the above two
Identify needs that would fill the gap
Ascertain what does the employee expect and what does he need?
Categorize and Define training needs

7. Designing a Training Module -2
Decide the training content
Decide the transaction strategies
Decide the experiential components of training
Decide the sequence of training activities
Decide the man and material resources required
Augment man and material resources

8. Designing a Training Module -3
Decide the kind of training plan that is to be created
Identify the learning outcomes that will meet trainer’s needs
Explore the potential challenges you might face in the training
Prepare the training manual booklet

9. Training design
Trainer’s notes: detailed explanation with questions from the trainees and trainer
Class discussion: conversation with questions posed to elicit thoughtful responses from trainees
Small group / individual exercises
Other strategies
Schedule for each task

10. Learner assumptions
The Learner (the trainee) wants training to be given to them
The learner expect the trainer to recognize him as independent and self-directed
The learner expects the trainer to recognize his prior accomplishments and knowledge
The learner feels that the training should help him meet his professional needs
The learner wants to be internally driven, and not by external rewards like grades or marks

11. Trainer’s assumptions
I clearly understand trainer needs – my diagnosis is perfect
I can meet the trainer needs – appropriate training strategies
I have man and material resources for training
I have requisite training setting
I am sure about the desired outcomes – prognosis/forecast/projection

12. Training plan - 1 Training programme title

Simulated classrooms (created with existing trainees replicating students’ behavior)

20. Components of a training Module: Training sequence of activities
Introduction
Small group discussion
Recapitulation
Practice session
Observation analysis & discussion
Evaluation and feed back
Winding up/conclusion

21. Components of a training Module: Training evaluation
Pre-training evaluation tools
While training evaluation tools - Entry test, exit test tools
After training evaluation tools - Feed back forms/Check list etc
We can use Audio/video recorded material, Self assessment forms, Peer assessment forms, Trainer assessment forms etc

22. Components of a training Module: Training follow up
After training exercises
Observation and feed back
Identifying the reason for failure- trainee related causes, defective training, institutional causes etc
Rectification and remediation exercises
Training changes review and follow-up

23. Training Schedule

24. After preparing the module
Self scrutiny/review
Scrutiny by experts
Preparing final draft booklet
Publish the booklet
Use the booklet in conducting training
Do revise after very training programme
Update the content, strategies etc
