Guidelines are furnished for application of psychological theory (including principles of learning, motivation, and reinforcement) in the training room, job or task analysis, formation of learning objectives, and selection of appropriate training techniques and audiovisual aids. The importance of clear communication and a supportive learning climate is also underscored. Steps in planning and execution are traced through the actual training experience to program evaluation (followed by remedial training for those who need it) and, finally, to observation of on the job performance. In this last stage, feedback is sought for use in redesigning subsequent training efforts. An annotated bibliography (28 items) is included. (LY)
