Interaction of reasoning ability and training intervention in reaction to training evaluation and post training effectiveness.

It has been shown that learners' abilities interact with the type of training intervention and effect on training and its outcomes. For this reason, the current research investigated the interaction of reasoning ability with two training methods, namely deductive and empirical methods, in effect on  reaction to training evaluation and post training effectiveness. This research was an applied and quasi-experimental one. The sample was consisted of 48 industrial psychology and management under graduates that were designed into four groups based on  their reasoning ability(high and low) and two type of teaching methods(deductive and empirical). After that, participants responded to research instruments including reaction to training and post training effectiveness scales. Data analyzing by analysis of variance showed the means of reaction to training and post training effectiveness are higher in deductive method and in higher reasoning ability. Also, there are an interaction between reasoning ability and two types of training methods. Based on findings, it was provided recommendations for training is provided by attention to abilities and aptitudes and for example based on reasoning ability, to better react to it and increase its effectiveness.
