Compare and contrast reaction and affective learning outcomes. Be sure to define each to demonstrate your understanding of these concepts

The reaction is what the trainee will perceive during the training processes in regard to what is being taught, who or what is teaching it, how it is being taught, and where they physically are during training. -Affective learning is in regard to how the trainee affects them as a person. This could be how well they engage, their attitudes toward diversity and inclusion, or their motivation to learn the content that is being shown -.With that, we can see that reaction and affective learning are similar in that they both deal with how humans "deal" with the training that they are being given in emotional and physical aspects, whereas they are different in that one (reaction) deals specifically with immediate reactions, and the other (affective) could deal with more deep-seeded emotions the trainee has toward the content he or she is presented with.

Upper-level managers are knowledgeable of skills that employees need in order for the organization to be successful, which means they are able to communicate those skills and needs to those who are designing training programs. This helps those who are designing training programs because if they know exactly what skills employees need to acquire, they will be able to design catered and specific training modules to new and current employees that will, in turn, help the organization grow.
