This document summarizes traditional training methods and discusses why they are no longer commonly used. It outlines three main traditional training methods: presentation methods where trainees passively receive information, hands-on methods that actively involve trainees such as on-the-job training, and group building methods that improve team effectiveness. While traditional methods were affordable and had high retention rates, modern alternatives like action learning are now favored as they involve learning through real problems and reflection rather than only instruction.
