Training Design Across Cultures. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2009, Pages: 256
Highly-effective training plays a vital role in the current and future development of organizations worldwide. To an ever-increasing degree, training designers are called upon to design training for participants from cultural backgrounds different from their own. Therefore, trainers are asking questions such as: 1. To what extent is it necessary to take culture into account when designing training? 2. What are the cultural differences that matter in training? 3. How can I adapt my training designs for different cultures? 4. Is there a framework for designing training across cultures? 5. Are there any sample training designs that illustrate ways of addressing differences? Training Design Across Cultures provides answers to each of these questions. The framework presented here was called “a powerful heuristic tool” capable of guiding trainers in their design work, by Dr. Judith Ponticell, Professor and Chair, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, University of South Florida. “I was able to substantially improve the effectiveness of my training through the concepts and methodologies provided in Dr. Deal’s work.” Katherine Strous, Learning Consultant, Air France-KLM.
