Research Informs Practice: Hits and Myths in Training and Learning

Presenter - Dan Topf

What if sound research doesn’t back up what we’re doing? Let’s take a quick look at what research tells us about learning styles, Dale’s Cone, Bloom’s Taxonomy, SME’s, and more. Let’s see how research informs our practice, and how training improves as a result. Beware! We may blow your mind!

After the session, you’ll be able to:

Recognize the hits and myths in the training and performance research
Apply the research findings behind many models, statements, and tools
Integrate evidence-based practices into your training and learning projects
