Pedagogy - Job Education, Further Education

For a period of time the Human Resource Development program in the workforce has allowed employees to be trained in the field they are pursuing. Has anyone ever wondered if the transition from classroom and or On-line training has been a smooth transition into that of working on the job? Are the skill sets obtained truly utilized and if they are, are they effective. This literature review will explore articles that support the notion of a smooth transition from in class training to on the job working.

In adult learning we explored the key principles in both pedagogy and Andragogy. Those principles include: The learner, Role of the learner’s experience, Readiness to learn, orientation to learning and Motivation to learning. Putting an Identity on an individual and building a relationship with the key principles of pedagogy and Andragogy are necessary in the transition from the class to the job. This Literature review will begin with an Article titled “What Works in enhancing HRD effectiveness”. This article was written by Ida Wognum of the University of Twente.

Wognum began her article with this idea “HRD efforts have to prove the capabilities of the individual working in the organization and improving the organizational systems in which they perform their work. The primary outcome of HRD in this context is not just learning, but performance at various levels” Wognum. Earlier in this introduction there is the statement that there should be a smooth transition from in class training to working on the job. In that ability to make a transition you must apply what you have learned and effectively utilize it in the job. Wognum puts it simpler. Take what you have learned and apply it to your performance.
