Having borrowed principles from behavioral and humanistic psychology, many of the key thinkers in human performance technology (HPT) were involved in the early days of instructional design, looking to extend principles beyond the classroom and into areas such as business operations and management, prison rehab, or the Job Corps.
Geary Rummler, a pioneer in HPT, frames its evolution in 2 distinct phases:
1930s–1940s
1950s–1960s
1970s
1980s–1990s
2000s
