Importance of ADDIE model for Training

Sometimes  referred  to  as  ADDIE  (Analysis,  Design,  Development, Implement,  Evaluate)  or  SAT  (System  Approach  to  Training). The steps are:

1.Analyze  the performance environment  in order  to understand  it and  then describe the goals needed  in order to correct any performance deficiencies (identify training requirements).

2.Design a process to achieve your goals, that is correct the performance deficiencies

3.Develop  your  initial  discoveries  and  process  into  a  product  that  will  assist  the learners  into  becoming  performers  (in  training,  this  product  is  often  called courseware)

4.Implement by delivering the courseware to the learners

5. Evaluate  the  performers,  courseware,  and  audit-trail  throughout  the  four  phases and in the working environment to ensure it is achieving the desired results

1.Analyze 

• Determine business outcome or linkage
• Analyze system (department, job, etc.) to gain an understanding of it.
• Compile a task inventory of all tasks associated with each job (if needed).
• Select tasks that  people  need  to  learn  to  become  performers  (needs analysis).
• Build performance measures for the tasks to be learned.
• Choose instructional setting  for  the  tasks  to be  learned, e.g.  classroom, on-the-job, self study, blended, etc.
• Estimate cost and compare to benefits gained.

2.Design

• Develop the learning  objectives,  to  include  both  terminal  and  enabling objectives.
• Identify and list the learning steps required to perform the task.
• Develop performance tests to show mastery of the tasks.
• List the entry behaviors that the learner must demonstrate prior to entering the learning program.
• Sequence and structure the learning objectives.

3.Develop

• List activities that will help the students learn the task.
• Select the delivery methods (media).
• Review existing material so that you do not reinvent the wheel.
• Develop the instructional courseware.
• Synthesize the courseware into a viable learning program.
• Validate the instruction to ensure it accomplishes all goals and objectives.

4.Implement

• Create a management plan for conducting the training.
• Conduct the training

5.Evaluate

• Review and evaluate  each  phase  (analyze,  design,  develop,  implement)  to ensure it is accomplishing what it is supposed to.
• Perform external evaluations, e.g. observe  that  the  tasks  that were  trained can actually be performed by the learners in their working environment.
• Revise training system to make it better and to meet future challenges.
