Synopsis

In this extensive revision of his best-selling text, Goldstein, a leader in the training field, provides readers with a framework for examining and establishing viable training programs in education, business, and government. Capturing the excitement of training research and systems issues, the author discusses training as it occurs in real organizations. Goldstein considers issues within the framework of societal concerns, such as fair employment practices and the 1991 Civil Rights Act, training and the older worker, and the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act for training systems. Part One focuses on societal training issues, how organizations conduct assessments to understand their training needs, and significant issues in learning and instruction. Part Two focuses on the evaluation process, and Part Three reviews training programs and procedures.
