Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine if the application of structured writing principles to the developmental process of complex diversity training materials facilitated training and improved learners’ performance in recalling the content. The posttest only experimental design was used in the study to collect data from 166 participants in an undergraduate hospitality management course. The participants were placed into three different groups and received training from three different formats of diversity training materials. The results showed that there were significant differences between the posttest scores of the three groups. Participants from the revised structured writing material group, performed significantly better than the original structured writing material group and the prose writing material group. The results of the study suggested that implementing structured writing principles in the complex training materials facilitate the learning of participants and their recall abilities.
