Training and development includes enhancing the effectiveness of
organizations and people and groups within them. Training can be
seen as related to the immediate change in the effectiveness of the
organization through organized training, while the development is
related to the progress of the long-term goals of the organization
and the employees. While training and technical development have
different definitions, the two are used interchangeably and / or
together. Training and development is a history of applied
psychology, but in the last two decades they have been closely
linked to human resource management, talent management, human
resource development, design, teaching, human factors, and so on
knowledge management.
The first article on education was published in 1918 in the journal
Practical Psychology. This article examines student programs
designed for practicing psychologists. World War II influenced the
focus of psychological research on the effectiveness of training
programs, especially in the military. In the 1960s and 1970s, the
field began to develop theoretical and theoretical research, which
until then has been rooted in interventional research with trial
and error. This era also brought about the development of new
teaching methods such as the use of computers, television, case
studies and games. The scope of training and development has also
been expanded to include intercultural training, focus on
individual staff development, and the use of new literature to
develop organizations for training frameworks. The 1980s marked a
shift in focus on how employees receive and implement training
programs and encouraged data collection for evaluation purposes,
particularly management training programs. The development of
training and development became increasingly popular in the 1980s
and 1990s, with employees often influenced by the concept of
"lifelong learning". It was during this decade that research was
first conducted to demonstrate the impact and importance of
promoting a culture of positive learning and development (including
management and collaboration). This turn of the century has brought
about more research on topics such as group learning, such as
cross-training. Cross-training focuses on training the
responsibilities of colleagues.
