Training

"Training is a method of improving a person's job performance through skilfully managing the learning of new behaviour to satisfy both the organisation's and individual goals".
Dr Mike Bebb, Massey University. |
- Teaching a manual skill, the skill being directed to economic activity.
- Distinguishing feature is activities are orientated towards profit.
In a training system
- Everyone is expected to be successful
- Those with difficulty are given further training until they succeed
- Those who learn faster, achieve sooner and depart
- The final standard is attainable by all
- The end of course marks are 100%
Education
In an education system
- Everyone is assumed to reach a level matching their natural abilities
- Those who have difficulty are redirected to other topics
- Those who learn more easily cover more of the topic or more topics
- The final pass grade is a statistical result
- The end of course marks range from 10% to 90%
Education is not a product, mark, diploma, job, money - in that order.
It is a never ending PROCESS.
Bel Kaufman

- While training is directed at economic activity education is applied to a range of learning activities, generally not concerned with profit.
- Development could be viewed as the industry synonym for education.
