The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Supervisor and On-The-Job Training':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Broadwell's book is aimed primarily at the manager or supervisor who has responsibility for the training and performance of subordinate workers. The material is both thoughtful and practical. The text is short enough to be read through in a few hours, but is more suitable as an ongoing study guide, or as the outline for a series of management meetings on the topic. Most of the book is free of the jargon of education. Rather than speaking of testing and measurement, the outcome of training is stated to be having the worker "show [he] can do the job." The educational concepts, however, are all there, and explained very clearly. The examples are taken from production and line jobs, but the bulk of the material would be applicable for any type and level of job training. The exceptions are the chapters on objectives, which are likely too heavily biased towards behavioral objectives, and "how to." Broadwell makes important points in regard to orientation for manual work, but these tips run counter to techniques for, say, computer applications. He also shows a predilection for field-dependent teaching which opposes his earlier comments about matching the trainee's learning style. Overall, a quick and useful guide. copyright Robert M.
