Complexity classes of problems

Every day, employees of the challenges, problems and opportunities face. Typically, they require difficult decisions will be within a short time period. Usually, they hit all at once. Typically, there is no right or wrong solution, but many sensible results and effects of the skills required to take the best decision is the solution. What was training like? What was training like the real world? What skills and behavioral skills that trainees an application conditions that mimicked those skills every day work environment employees are challenged to apply what you learned were using? In this paper, a problem-based training approach (Pebte) offered that action learning or case study is distinguished by education. PBT through applying a different style of training employees is attached. PBT is an adaptation of the principals of problem-based learning, a common practice in adult education, educational Arenas (1 references.) PBT modification of the uniqueness of the academic class-oriented education is dynamic and diverse needs is found in the methodology. Corporate training.



. PBT defined as the optimal conditions for adult learning a training environment, these conditions will be included in the (2. References) to get: freedom of expression and acceptance of differences.An environment where the goals of the trainees learning experience experience to have your own goals. In a culture where the trainees to plan and operational responsibility for the learning experience and therefore part of a commitment to accept it. A company where trainees actively participate and progress towards the goals of their own spirit. PBT is different from other training models? PBT, the specific problems choose to learn and practice skills to measure writing skills have been built around the objectives. Thus, employees not only to learn how to solve the problem, but conflict management, planning and organizing or development of talent as skill to learn. Using simulation to teach is not unique to PBT. There are many learning models that are using the problems in their curriculums. They learn the case where a duplicate content problem, action learning, a problem where a select group of management trainees, and problem-based training is presented to apply learned solutions are included in the study. Each of them as well as a comparison of PBT than a traditional teaching approach can help clarify the uniqueness of PBT method.



Traditional Training Contrasted with PBT



Similarities: Traditional Training to PBT



Employees develop knowledge required by their job position. Employee gain familiarity with resources, policies and procedures relevant to the job.
Differences: Traditional Training to PBT



Process goal: The goal of traditional training is to teach employees the knowledge, policies and procedures required for their job position. In PBT, the goal is to learn to solve problems by applying resources, policies & procedures to a wide range of situations likely to be encountered in the workplace. Delivery of knowledge: In traditional training classes, information is given to the employee first, generally through a lecture, video, or e-learning module. The information always precedes quizzes or opportunities to apply their knowledge to work related situations. In PBT, a problem is presented prior to delivery of information needed to solve the problem. Knowledge is acquired as the employee self-identifies the process, the resources, and the best solution to the problem. The problem always precedes the delivery of information. Learning concept: in traditional training classed, employees apply what was taught. In PBT, employees learn through struggling to solve problems. Collaboration. Collaboration is not a feature of traditional training. Although use of teams is preferred in PBT, it is not required. Use of resources: In traditional training classed, the resources or training content is delivered by the instructor. Employee then is tested to apply that content correctly. In PBT, identification and use of resources is self-directed according to what the employees decide they need to know in order to solve the problem. Direction: Traditional learning is directed by an instructor. The "learned expert" imparts knowledge to the novice trainees. The PBT process is self-directed with a coach as a guide to ensure teams continue to refine their solutions until they attain a best practice solution. Evaluation: In traditional training, evaluation methods vary. In PBT, multiple solutions are possible. Learning the process of problem-solving is more important than getting the best practice solution.
Case Study Learning Contrasted with PBT



Similarities: Case Study to PBT



Requires employees to tackle real world problems.Places employees in problem-solving roles.Develops critical thinking skills. Develops analytical skills.
Differences: Case Study Training Contrasted to PBT



Process goal: The goal of case study is to apply knowledge to solve specific workplace problems. The goal of PBT is to learn to solve problem by applying resources, policies and procedures to specific workplace problems. Delivery of knowledge: Knowledge in the case study method is given to the employee first. It precedes the case study. In contrast, in PBT, the problem is presented prior to delivery of information needed to solve the problem. Knowledge is acquired as the employee self-identifies the process, the resources, and the best solution to the problem. The problem always precedes the delivery of information. Learning concept: In case studies, employees apply what was taught to a problem or case study. In PBT, employees acquire the knowledge as they struggling to identify resources and apply them to solve the problem. Use of resources: In case study, resource materials are delivered in some format by instructor prior to application stage. Employee then applies the resources to the problem. In PBT, identification and use of resources is self-directed according to what the employees decide they need to know in order to solve the problem. Collaboration: Case studies may or may not involve collaborative learning. PBT is usually a team process, although internet applications have allowed it to be an individualized training method too. Direction: Case study is highly directed by an instructor. PBT is self-directed with a coach as a guide to ensure teams continue to refine their solutions until they attain a best practice solution.Evaluation: In case study training, evaluation methods vary depending on the model. In almost all models, the end result is what is used to assess learning. In PBT, multiple solutions are possible. Learning the process of problem-solving is more important than getting the best practice solution.
Action Learning Contrasted with PBT



Many corporations are using a leadership training program called Action Learning.(See reference 3.) Although both these programs focus employees on real world problems, there are unique features to each as shown in the table below.



Similarities: Action Learning Contrasted to PBT



Work is usually done as a team rather than individually. Employees are challenged to resolve real world problems.Encourages collaborative learning. Promotes global visioning: seeing the big picture and implications of decisions made.Promotes development of critical thinking skills.Promotes development of analytical skills.
Differences: Action Learning Contrasted to PBT



Goal: The goal of action learning is to develop a strategic action plan. Typically this is business process improvement oriented. In PBT, the goal is to learn to solve problems by applying resources, policies & procedures to a wide range of situations likely to be encountered in the workplace.Focus: Action learning addresses large scale business challenges. Typically problems are written to be business process improvement oriented. The focus of PBT ranges from day-to-day problems typically experienced by entry level employees to large scale problems faced by management. Learning concept: In action learning, finding a best practice solution to the problem is essential for completion of the task. In PBT, learning a problem-solving process that can be used with any workplace problem is more important than finding a solution to a specific problem.Participant selection: Action learning pulls together the top performing company individuals and/or potential senior executives; most often individuals on the team start out with similar levels of expertise although they bring different backgrounds to the process. PBT works well at the management level, even when teams are from diverse background levels of experience. The more experienced employees become a human resource for the less experienced ones. Not limited to management level. Has been applied to new and inexperienced employees hired in starting positions in retail sales.Direction: Action learning is more highly directed by a coach than PBT.
