Discussed next will be major problems and trends in research on program planning, including the issues revolving around individual and organizational change as the primary outcome of educational programs. The interactive model of program planning will then be examined and components of the program planning process which are currently receiving renewed attention as key elements of the planning process, such as learning transfer, the importance of context, and instructional design, will then be investigated. This investigation of the interactive model of program planning and selected components of that model will result in useable products that can be transferred back to the students' work or other life situations.
