Direct linkScott, Glen; Winiecki, Donald J. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
Human performance technology (HPT), like other concepts, models, and frameworks that we use to describe the world in which we live and the way we organize ourselves to accomplish valuable activities, is built from paradigms that were fresh and relevant at the time it was conceived and from the fields of study from which it grew. However, when the…

Darabi, Aubteen; Kalyuga, Slava – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
The process of improving organizational performance through designing systemic interventions has remarkable similarities to designing instruction for improving learners' performance. Both processes deal with subjects (learners and organizations correspondingly) with certain capabilities that are exposed to novel information designed for producing…

Panza, Carol M. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
The fishbone diagram developed by Mariano Bernardez (2009a, 2009b) in the introductory article to this issue of "Performance Improvement Quarterly" depicts the origins and interrelationships of the models and approaches of many fields and researchers that have contributed to human performance technology (HPT) as it is used today. We can…

Wittkuhn, Klaus D. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
Disciplines and professions each have their own methods of inquiry. This article outlines the commonalities as well as the differences and describes the relationship between the disciplines and the professions. The emphasis is on consulting because this is the profession with which we are concerned. There are three different approaches in…

Addison, Roger M.; Tosti, Donald T. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
The International Society for Performance Improvement has always been divided by two often-conflicting views of what its purpose or mission really is. Is it primarily technology focused (focusing on the development and promotion of the field) or member focused (focusing on members' interests and their professional development)? This difference in…

Carl, Diana R. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2009
Task analysis in human performance technology is used to determine how human performance can be well supported with training, job aids, environmental changes, and other interventions. Early work by Miller (1953) and Gilbert (1969, 1974) addressed cue processing in task execution and recommended cue descriptions in task analysis. Modern task…

Kaufman, Roger; Bernardez, Mariano L. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
Conventional human performance technology has had a good run. It allowed scientific and data-based research to be applied to improve performance, usually just individual performance. The field must be expanded without losing this individual performance focus to include a scope that measurably improves performance for individuals and organizations…

Pearlstein, Richard B. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2012
Most executives have not heard of human performance technology (HPT), but a recent Google search showed 25 times more Google hits for "lean six sigma" than for "human performance technology." This article describes five factors that make HPT a hard sell: (1) HPT is not part of standard business jargon, (2) organizational executives associate…

Swanson, Richard A. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1988
Research and development (R & D) have been a fundamental of the human performance technology heritage. This treatise is intended to refocus the profession on the importance of R & D, presenting a classification scheme of purposes, methods, and categories for embracing multiple views of R & D. (Author/JOW)

Clark, Ruth Colvin – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1988
An understanding of the uses of metacognition provides a powerful tool toward developing quality and efficiency in task learning and performance. Specific thinking skill categories of attention, organization, and elaboration are described with examples of how specific techniques can optimize learning and job performance. (Author/JOW)

Jacobs, Ronald L. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1988
The author proposes a domain and definition for the human performance technology field. The proposed domain consists of three components: management functions, performance systems development functions, and components of human performance systems. He also discusses systems theory and professional practice and outlines implications for research,…

Allen, Jeff M.; Hart, Marcy – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1998
Compares current workforce demographics with those of the future where the "older worker" will emerge as primary target for human development effort. Examines common myths and current research about the "older worker." Describes strategies for modifying the workplace environment, reassessing workforce motivational strategies, and altering training…
