However, we know there are many reasons why people do not perform and that training and education are only appropriate when people lack skills and knowledge. This course pushes you to take a step back and learn how to address performance problems and facilitate change in a systematic and systemic manner from a broader perspective. Human Performance Technology is seen as the foundation for planned change. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">

Often, people start with solution, assuming they know what the problem is. Performance interventions are also frequently adopted based on who speaks the loudest or holds political favor or power. HPT provides a systematic process for facilitating change based on research and data gathered from the field, helping organizations avoid haphazard and unsubstantiated investments in fads, opinions and political agendas. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Although you will learn about various non-training interventions, you are not expected to become experts in the design and implementation of such interventions. Rather, you are to expected to know how to conduct a systematic, results-oriented needs assessment and know enough about alternative non-training interventions so that you can recommend the most appropriate solution(s) for reducing and/or eliminating performance problems that may, or may not include training. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After completing this module, you will: · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Define Human Performance Technology · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Identify HPT Critical Attributes and Assumptions · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Compare and contrast differences between HPT and Instructional Technology · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Define Needs Assessment · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Describe procedures for conducting a Needs Assessment Resources · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Identify the five basic steps to conducting a Needs Assessment · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Select Needs Assessment project teams · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Rossett: Chapters 1-3 · <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">HPT: Chapters 1-3, 15 **<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">module 1 > lesson 2 **<span style="color: #003399; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 19.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> **<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 19.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What is Human Performance Technology? **<span style="color: #003399; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 19.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The word <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> **"Human"** <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">is included in term to underscore the focus on people and their performance. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Putting the terms together, HPT is defined as the application of what is known about human and organizational behavior to enhance accomplishments in ways that are valued within the work setting. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Other definitions of HPT found in related literature include, but are not limited too: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"..........is a set of methods and processes for solving problems--or realizing opportunities--related to the performance of people.
