Self and Team Development in Practice (STP) Walk Rally

STP Walk Rally seems to have both strengths and weaknesses based on adult learning theory, experiential learning theory, and Holtons HRD evaluation and measurement model.
The STP Walk Rallys strengths are (a) activity design that encourages participants to learn at their own pace; (b) learning cycle that (usually) completes the experiential learning cycle; (c) a learning setting that combines an outdoor course with classroom training; and (d) fun during the training that creates a better learning environment. However, fun cannot guarantee that participants learn.
Weaknesses in the STP Walk Rally are (a) STP activities that do not occur in real life; (b) competition
that creates winners and losers; (c) time consuming; and (d) debriefing that criticizes in front of others. In Thai culture, face-saving and kreng jai are common attributes that cannot be ignored during the debriefing.
Without needed research on STP Walk Rally, it is difficult to credit it with success. Before such an analysis takes place, the basic design of STP Walk Rally needs to be modified based upon this analysis so that it more closely matches what is already known through theory.
