100
amount of learning or skill level increases rapidly at first & then rate of improvement slows. Routine tasks; most common.
What is decreasing returns?
100
Step of the instructional design process that consists of comparing program results to established objectives to determine whether the original needs were met. Indicators include: participants' reactions, learning, changes in behavior on job.
What is evaluation?
100
Simply means that the learner can recall specific facts; Example: A printing press operator would be able to name the parts of the press
What is knowledge?
100
Planning and budgeting Organizing and staffing Controlling and problem solving Produces a degree of predictability and order
What is management?
100
The following narrative appraisal method is completed by a supervisor and a HR professional. The effectiveness may be limited by the amount of control the HR department has in establishing the rating and may be time consuming.
What is field review?
200
most common when a person is learning something completely new. Beginning of curve, learning is slow while basics are learned, then performance takes off as KSAs are acquired. Most common when learner doesn't have necessary background or content is complex.
What is increasing returns?
200
Materials are created, purchased &/or modified to meet state objectives.
What is development?
200
Understanding information to the level of being able to break it down and explain how it fits together; Example: the operator would be able to do preventive maintenance or determine how to operate the machine more effeciently

200
Establishing direction Aligning people Motivating and inspiring Produces change often to a dramatic degree
What is leadership?
200
The following appraisal methods includes the employee in setting measurable goals and specify desired results.
What is Management by objectives (MBO)?
300
Combination of increasing & decreasing returns. Learning a difficult task that also requires specific insight. Problem solving activities are often learned on this curve. Slow at onset, learner becomes more familiar with learning process, performance takes off, learning slows again, but at a higher level of learning.
What is s shaped curve?
300
Program is delivered to target audience: pilot programs, content revised, participant scheduling & prepare learning environment.
What is implementation?
300
At this level of learning, the operator would be able to run the printing press to produce printed copy
What is application?
300
This leadership style has the following characteristics: *Contingent reward *Management by exception (active) *Management by exception (passive) *Laissez faire
What is transactional leadership?
300
The following performance appraisal methods was designed to combat the problems of category ratings. They work best in situations where many employees are performing the same tasks.

400

Plateau is that flattened space is not permanent & with additional support & encouragement learner can make new strides. These are common curves, but often learner is not prepared for the flattened space, gets discouraged without support & encouragement.
What is plateau curve?
400

What is Hersey-Blanchard's situational leadership theory?
400
Giving an employee an excellent rating because the employee was considerably more skilled than fellow workers, is an example of what appraisal error.
What is contrast?
500
Increasing returns Decreasing returns S-shaped curve Plateau curves
What are the four learning curves?
500
Initial decisions regarding course content, goals & objectives, delivery methods & implementation strategies are made. Rough sketch with sequence, method & media decisions being made.
What is design?
500
The highest level of learning because it allows one to make judgments.
