| Zusammenfassung: | In the fast-growing new technology-based industrial landscape in the UnitedStates, companies have had to face a major problem. Many job applicants havehad such a poor educational preparation that many companies are required tooffer remedial courses in the basic subjects to ensure employee readiness forsuch positions. Many times, however, the educational approach taken bycompanies is very similar to that which was taken by the schools which havefailed these employees – the typical `chalk and talk' approach. Thisarticle suggests an alternative approach to employee education. Thisresearch-based theory states each individual learns in a unique way which canbe diagnosed and utilized to ensure maximum educational effectiveness. Thisapproach has already been employed in a high school setting, and the resultssupport this approach. The theory is not predicated on school-age studentsalone, hence a transition to the workforce is entirely credible, to thebenefit of companies and individuals alike. |
