Systemic Training
The war meant that workers had to produce more goods with less manpower. Frederick Winslow Taylor created a method called Scientific Management that looked to increase efficiencies (Estep, 2008, p. 3). Workers could do more if processes were streamlined and could be more easily replicated. Image retrieved through Pixabay (n.d.) Title Image

Blooms Taxonomy
Armstrong (2016), "The framework elaborated by Bloom and his collaborators consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation" (para. 1). When individuals are able to combine each of the key areas they can then better understand and implement new knowledge. (Armstrong, 2016). Image retrieved through Wikimedia Commons (2008) -

Self Awareness Training
Training was focused on not only self-awareness but understanding the needs and feelings of individuals as well as the group (Estep, 2008, p. 6).

Adult Learning Theory - Malcolm Knowles
Created defined theory of how adults learn and ways to best educate adult learners. This includes the belief adults are self-direceted and work best in groups that focus on prior learning to gain understanding of new concepts that can be applied immediately (Pullagurla, 2014).

Technology Based Learning 1990- Current
Technology has greatly impacted training in many countless ways. Technology has increased access to information, ability to collaborate, remove issues of distance and put expert content in the hands of more users. Technology is also removing boundaries between teacher and learner to allow more interaction and sharing of ideas (Purdue University, 2016). Image retrieved through Pixabay (n.d.)
