PRACTICAL PROBLEMS AND PRINCIPLES OF IN‐SERVICE TRAINING

Abstract

I am going to ask you to do something which information staff are often asked to do—two things at once. My group in the DEP is concerned with initiating useful research in training, monitoring it when it is in progress, feeding the results and other information about training into a central classified storage and retrieval system and publishing this information mainly for the benefit of training specialists. More exactly, training specialists are the bulls‐eye of our target, but there are many other people such as managers, research workers and information staff who need to keep in touch with training developments. We are therefore not only concerned with training but also with information about training and we try our best to apply to our own staff the principles which are being developed for industry at large. We certainly want to avoid the old paradox ‘those who can, do; those who can't—teach’. I therefore want you to learn at two levels, about our information service and about the principles inherent in its design.
