INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS BWR009

Learn to prepare for and perform basic instructional skills, prepare participation plans, and conduct and evaluate training sessions - relevant to any type of workplace.

This is a little different to other Workplace Trainer courses in that it focuses on "experiential learning". Many of the other courses in this subject area tend to focus on "Competency Based Training"; a way of teaching that focuses heavily on "assessment". Experiential learning in contrast, focuses more on the actual "learning" and less on the assessment.

This course incorporates what is found in a typical "Train the Trainer Course"... and much more!

Focus is All Important It is important to focus when learning. 

Imagine sitting in front of the TV with a textbook in your hands. We are easily distracted, something comes on the TV and we start watching that instead of studying. Alternatively, we think we are reading, but look back at the previous page and find we haven’t because we have been listening to what is on the TV.

When we are planning to teach someone something, it is important that we and they are both physically and mentally prepared.
Everyone is different, so how each employee learns best will differ. Some people may adequately with background noise from the machinery, but others may need absolute silence. Some will learn best on site where they can see a job being done; but others may be distracted by the sights, sounds and smells of the workplace.

When you are planning to teach something, consider how each individual learns best.

Consider – Sometimes, you might need a desk or room to teach in; but other times you might be better teaching on the job.
Maybe if you do both; you will cater to different types of people in the work group.
This is something YOU need to determine. The key is to experiment until you find what is right for the people you are dealing with; and the things you are attempting to teach,
If the environment is inviting people may feel more relaxed, happy and confident, then they are more likely to engage there often to focus on learning.
