The purpose with this thesis was to increase the level of knowledge for SKF employees

courses at SKF (Aktiebolaget Svenska Kullagerfabriken), but to other courses in
the industry as well.
This thesis describes how to design an automation course by using the ADDIE
model. The ADDIE model is an instructional design method which divides a project
in the five following steps: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation.
This thesis focused on the analysis step to create a framework and a content
that can be used to design automation courses in different industries.
A thorough analysis about previous knowledge and important knowledge for the
future participants, what motivates the future participants and the company, assessment
and learning theories and methods has been conducted. Learning objectives,
assessment and activities were created from the result of the analysis. The results
from the analysis can also be used to create other courses in the future. Data have
been collected with observations, questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires
have been conducted by SKF personnel and the answers have been visualized with
bar charts. The interviewees were also SKF personnel and the results were analyzed
using coding to create categories of important material. Brainstorming was used to
produce learning objectives and to design the course.
The results in this thesis show, for example, that skill development is getting more
and more important in the industry. It becomes crucial for all industrial workers to
have understanding of the automation cells and its components. It also shows the
importance of an industrial worker being able to troubleshoot the automation cell
when something goes wrong. It is important that they receive training, to help them
develop their skills in these areas. This thesis shows that it is important for them to
get practical education with similar equipment as they use in their everyday work
and that they get to see many examples of what can go wrong and how to fix it.

This thesis shows that assessment is an important area to analyze. The managers,
the teacher and the course participants can all benefit from assessment. Assessment
can increase learning, help the teacher to evaluate the course and give managers a
receipt on the participants’ knowledge.
There are many different learning methods and theories to take into account when
an automation course for operators is created. One important thing is to motivate
the course participants and to keep them motivated throughout the course. To do
this, we have used research about adult learning, cooperative learning, the 5E model
and motivation strategies. Practical education, which has support from for example
John Dewey and the 5E model, has been a big part of the course.
A course was designed based on the results from the analysis step. Activities and
assessment were developed to meet the course objectives and the course was implemented
as a pilot course at SKF Competence Center. The pilot course was
evaluated with a questionnaire which showed that the participants wanted to keep
all of the content and that they gained a good overview knowledge. The evaluation
also showed that the time was not sufficient and that IT and PLC (Programmable
Logic Controller) were difficult areas.
This thesis can be used in two different ways. The first way is to use the created
course as presented in this thesis. The second way is to use results from the analysis
to design similar courses for industrial workers.},
