7 important questions on Knowledge management - Individual level knowledge
What is training transfer?
Can be positive or negative, when there is no opportunity to use the new knowledge it will fade (=problem of training transfer) due to gap explicit knowledge and know how/who
How can one see if training transfer has occured?
- It shows in the maintenance of the new knowledge, so the extent to which the changes caused by the training persists over time. If the skill will be there in 0.5 yr but also in 1yr.
What is important in getting from explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge and usage
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Investment in training gets lost because of lack transfer. Blum and Al looked at the problem and did research, what can you say about the characteristics they looked at?
- Intelligence
- Conscientiousness
- Voluntary participation
More of these = more effort to transfer that what was learned into the workplace
The individual differences are difficult to design into a training -> you cannot select trainees.
Environment characteristic
- Transfer climate > senior management sets an example to get shared understanding of importance for learning
- Support of supervisors and peers > asking what the employees learned
- Constraints taken away> e.g. low level of autonomy, situational constraints
This is easier to implement in the training, helping to facilitate transfer for all the people
How should the effectiveness of training be assessed to see the correlation with transfer?
Test of knowledge, self efficacy “do you feel more capable”, utility reactions “was it useful?”
How are good trainings designed? Name the 4 aspects
II. Understand how people learn in class rooms
III. Combine with informal learning
IV. Evaluate
How can a manager organize for the transfer of training? Name 4 possibilities:
- Organize peer/supervisor support
- Organize opportunities for use of new skills (job design)
- Make sure that the formal, explicit knowledge is transferred to practice
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
