• None of the above

• Thomas Gilbert

• B.F. Skinner

• Hus

In which decades did Human Performance Technology begin to gain momentum?

• 1980s and 1990s

• 1970s and 1980s

• 1960s and 1970s

• 1950s and 1960s

What was the precursor to Human Performance Technology?

• Instructional Design

• Cognitive Psychology

• Programmed Instruction

• Computer Science

What is the primary goal of Human Performance Technology?

• To automate all organizational processes

• To enhance the performance by bridging gaps

• To replace human labor with technology

• To study human behavior without application

How is Human Performance Technology defined?

• A theoretical framework with no practical application

• A discipline focused solely on educational technology

• A systematic approach to improve human performance

• A technology-driven method to replace human tasks

Which of the following best describes the approach of HPT?

• Focused on educational outcomes only

• Ad-hoc and unstructured

• Systemic and systematic

• Solely technology-driven

What does HPT value in its process?

• Ignoring human behavior

• Integration of various system components

• Isolation of system components

• Focusing solely on technological improvements

What role does human behavior play in HPT?

• It is considered a minor input

• It is irrelevant to the system's functioning

• It plays a significant role in the system's input

• It is the primary focus of technological improvement

How are HPT and HPI related?

• They are completely unrelated fields

• They are the same with interchangeable terms

• HPI is a subset of HPT focusing only on technological aspects

• They focus on different aspects of improvement within the system

What distinguishes HPT from HPI?

• HPT focuses on human resources, while HPI on actions leading to improvement

• HPT is about technology, while HPI is about human behavior

• HPT is a newer concept compared to HPI

• There are no significant differences
