Needs Assessment TD&E: Proposal of a New Model

Abstract

Analysis of training needs, while important, have been held so little systematic organizational environments. The literature review shows that the intellectual production in this area is restricted to analysis of individual levels and tasks, with little research focusing on needs for more comprehensive levels such as groups, teams or organizational macro. In general, approaches to needs analysis has been focused on positions or organizational structures rigid, static, bureaucratic (departments, divisions, etc.). This characteristic makes the ANT anachronistic and unhelpful, because it makes new organizational arrangements such as matrix architectures, networking, virtual organizations or new configurations of human works. This dynamic nature requires a change in the character of ANT to a more forward looking approach, focused on the learning of complex skills and high volatility. This theoretical paper aims to review the literature and propose a diagnostic model of training needs based on taxonomy of learning outcomes and focus on different levels of analysis. The proposed model of ANT derives a set of results from empirical research and goes beyond the analysis of tasks and people, also including the organizational level and group. The application of this model can provide the information necessary to the design of learning situations and training that can promote the development of complex skills valued by the workers, whose development requires actions varied educational, curriculum and programs for continuous learning and continuing education (throughout life). In this sense, the proposed model allows it to be made ??a link between the empirical studies on the subject and its practical application in work organizations.
