Instruction/training
This workshop focuses on the common pitfalls new and seasoned instructors often experience: the designing of training exercises that create an expectation of failure. This expectation can be on the part of the instructor, the participants, or both. Sometimes, this in intentional; other times, it is out of habit or using methods learned from their instructors. The basic Laws of Adult Learning, The Law of Readiness, The Law of Primacy, The Law of Intensity, The Law of Repetition, and The Law of Recency are reviewed, and attendees are shown how focusing on these laws of learning can help an organization evolve from novice level to competence and, ultimately, to mastery of critical skills. Students learn the difference between training, the introduction of new information or new skills, and drilling. Ultimately, students learn how to build a success-based training model and come to recognize that a training program that is a never-ending cycle of “no-notice drills” without effective instruction is a failure-based learning model.
