Match List-I (methods of training) with List-II (their features):
| List-I | List-II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | Computer modelling | (I) | Actual work environments are created in a class room, with the same materials, files and equipment. |
| (B) | Vestibule training | (II) | Trainees select what they believe to be the best solution to a real problem and implement it. |
| (C) | Films | (III) | Learning takes place without the risk or high costs of a mistake made in a real life situation. |
| (D) | Case study | (IV) | Used along with conference discussions, it is a very effective method in certain cases. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
| List-I | List-II | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Computer modelling | (III) Learning takes place without the risk or high costs of a mistake made in a real life situation. | A computer is programmed to imitate the job, so a mistake made in training costs nothing in real life. |
| (B) Vestibule training | (I) Actual work environments are created in a class room, with the same materials, files and equipment. | Employees learn on the equipment they will use, but away from the work floor. |
| (C) Films | (IV) Used along with conference discussions, it is a very effective method in certain cases. | Films show skills on screen. Used along with conference discussions, they are very effective in certain cases. |
| (D) Case study | (II) Trainees select what they believe to be the best solution to a real problem and implement it. | Trainees study a real problem of managers, then choose and apply the best solution. |
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “(iv) Computer Modelling: It simulates the work environment by programming a computer to imitate some of the realities of the job and allows learning to take place without the risk or high costs that would be incurred if a mistake were made in real life situation.” “(v) Vestibule Training: Employees learn their jobs on the equipment they will be using, but the training is conducted away from the actual work floor. Actual work environments are created in a class room and employees use the same materials, files and equipment. This is usually done when employees are required to handle sophisticated machinery and equipment.” “(ii) Films: They can provide information and explicitly demonstrate skills that are not easily represented by the other techniques. Used in conjunction with conference discussions, it is a very effective method in certain cases.” “(iii) Case Study: Taken from actual experiences of organisations, cases represent attempts to describe, as accurately as possible real problems that managers have faced. Trainees study the cases to determine problems, analyse causes, develop alternative solutions, select what they believe to be the best solution, and implement it.” |
