Describe how trainers can create a learning orientation among trainees in contrast to a performance orientation. (Be sure to define learning orientation and performance orientation in your answer to demonstrate your understanding of these concepts.)

What will be an ideal response?


People with a learning orientation view mistakes as a useful part of the learning processes and not as something that should be avoided. They are focused on learning and not necessarily looking good. Performance orientation refers to a desire to look good in comparison to others. Individuals with a performance orientation value ability more than learning, and they avoid mistakes as they might make them appear "foolish" in the eyes of others. Accordingly, trainers should strive to promote a learning orientation among trainees. Trainers should set goals around learning and experimenting with new ways of having trainees perform trained tasks. They should also deemphasize competition among trainees, create a community of learning, and allow trainees to make errors. When trainees make mistakes, trainers should provide constructive feedback and avoid making trainees look incompetent.
