تعامل توانایی‌های شناختی با دو شیوه آموزشی در واکنش به ارزشیابی آموزش و عملکرد پس از آموزش

Abstract The current research investigated an interaction of cognitive abilities with two educational approaches in reaction training evaluation and post education performance in an industrial company. One hundred and fifty employees of an industrial company were selected and were randomly placed in three groups (Each group contained 50 employees) of three levels of treatment namely error encouragement (experimental group number 1), error avoidance (experimental group number 2) and a control group. Participants responded to research instruments that included test from Flanagan Industrial Test Battery (FITB Flanagan, 1962), General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB U.S. Employment Service, 1945) and training evaluation scales consisted of reaction and performance after training. The results indicated that in three groups' reaction and performance of high cognitive ability individuals was higher than low cognitive ability individuals and cognitive ability interacted with two ways of training. Based on findings, it is recommended to use the present results in competency-based recruitment of personnel and the use of error encouragement training method is emphasized.
