Imperatives of Adult Learning

  1. Andragogy – Adult learning process. Analogous to pedagogy
  1. A cooperative venture in non-authoritarian, informal learning, the chief purpose of which is to discover the meaning of experience, a quest of mind which digs down to the roots of the preconceptions which formulate our conduct; a technique of learning for adults which makes education coterminous with life and hence elevates living itself to the level of adventurous experiment.

 

Learning Theories

Mechanistic (or Behaviorist) Theories

  1. Hold that learner is passive in the learning process
  2. Every input/stimulus will get a predetermined response
  3. Learning occurs when a learner is conditioned to give the ‘right’ response to a given stimulus
  4. Mechanistic (or Behaviorist) Theories

Cognitive Theories

  1. Equate man with his brain – humans are capable of critical thinking and problem solving
  2. Purpose of learning is to teach the brain to engage in such critical thinking and problem solving

Cognitive Theories

  2. Learning occurs when learners have ‘freedom to learn’ what is particularly relevant to their personal life situation

  4. Practice increases a learner’s performance
  5. Learning must be transferable to the job

Systematic Approach to Learning (SAT)

Plateau Career

  1. Reaching a level higher than where one started but then continuing on the same level

Career Path

  1. When these movements are predetermined in a logical sequence to enable an individual to have knowledge of all activities of the organisation (horizontal movement), different perspectives of management (field and controlling) and different levels of management (heirarchial) it could be said that the organisation has developed a career path

 

  1. With an established Career Path Planning Subsystem the organisation can have a continuous supply of individuals with required capabilities for future roles

Components of Career Anchors

  1. Self perception of talents and abilities based on one’s performance
  2. Self perceived motives and needs based on self diagnosis and feedback

Career Path Planning System

Main responsibilities of the organisation while developing and implementing a career plan are:

  1. The policy of career planning is made explicit. It lays down the benchmarks for performance at critical stages which the employees must attain
  2. It is made clear that the career path is a facility for growth and not a right for advancement
  3. The career path – a sequence of job assignments, training requirements and promotion to higher level – is made known to the employees from the time of entry. Performance feedback is a part of the career path
  4. The career path is followed uniformly for all employees without any bias/prejudices
  5. It should be flexible to accommodate variations which may be needed to deal with the given circumstances

 

Career Path Planning Process

  1. Define the career stages (Role) in relation to the organisational levels
  2. Identify the core jobs at each level
  3. Define and spell out the criteria for each successive level
  4. Placement in the next career role

Multiple Careers in one organisation

  1. In flatter organisations hierarchy is neither desired, nor available
  2. What is needed is to develop expertise in different areas
  3. The concept of spiral careers is becoming an ideal one in this situation
