From the Back Cover

The Fourth Edition of a Classic Resource

"Instructional designers are often the standard-bearers of the calculated efforts to improve human performance. They continue to work under the guise of many job titles. They are sometimes called performance technologists, performance consultants, trainers, training and development specialists, workplace learning and performance professionals, learning and performance professionals, instructional developers, staff development specialists, performance consultants, or instructional designers. Whatever their titles, they share a common goal of improving human performance. Perhaps training remains as the best-known performance improvement strategy, although many people are experimenting with approaches that integrate employee development with work processes so that people learn as they work (and work as they learn) in real time. Management solutions that do not include training range from the preparation and use of job aids, the redesign of organizational structures and reporting relationships, the redesign of work, the refocusing of employee selection methods, the reengineering of work-related feedback methods, and the design and implementation of employee reward systems. There are literally thousands of ways to solve human performance problems, and the sheer choice of solutions is as daunting as discovering root causes."

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book for developing training., December 27, 1997
By A Customer
We used this book in out graduate program at Penn State. It quickly provides detailed information for every step of the instructional design process. It is a good text to learn about training and an even better reference book for later use.

This book was used in my 1994 Bachelor's program in Workforce Education, Training, and Development undertaken at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois. It provided readily applied techniques for improving employee performance. I still use it today as a wonderful reference tool. I receommend this book to anyone tasked with instructional design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of the ISD process, November 11, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering the Instructional Design Process: A Systematic Approach (Hardcover)
Rothwell and Kazanas provide a thorough explanation of the Instructional Design process. It is very useful and informative for beginners and novices. The only detraction is the sole focus on ISD. There are many other ways to design educational programs. One approach to design is not always the best method.
