In the “get ready” phase, the instructor must tailor his or her job breakdown to the experience level of the learner. This usually involves some questioning and discussion (between the instructor and learner) to help focus the job instruction at a level targeted to that particular learner (at least this is standard work for my company). <BR/>In the instruction phase, it is not a one-way street . . . the learner is encouraged to ask questions throughout the process. The Job Breakdown is not a rigid script that must be followed at all costs. The best instruction sessions I have observed have been when there was a comfortable dialog between the instructor and learner. Yes the progressive exposure to more and more information is important, but when the learner is ready, he/she can be given answers to their questions to help smooth the flow and pace of instruction, thus tailoring it to their needs. <BR/>In addition, when questions or special techniques arise that were not anticipated by the instructor, this presents a learning opportunity for both participants that can be incorporated into future instruction. Our standard work includes documenting these “new” finds and saving them electronically for the next time the skill is to be trained. <BR/>While learners (and instructors for that matter) may not have input as to the structure of the training process, they are an integral part of targeting and developing the content.<BR/><BR/>DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278940045655712666noreply@blogger.com
