If you are studying training, and you want to apply your knowledge to developing or delivering training material, you are probably wondering about the process of teaching your learners. The following lesson should answer your questions and explain the training and education process. For personal instruction, the student may be able to ask for clarification or more details. In a classroom setting, a correspondence course or in distance learning, the student is given exercises to perform to practice and re-enforce what was learned. This is done to a lesser degree in a CBT, WBT or videotape.
Exercises also get the participants more involved in the material, which helps keep their interest.
In some classes, students can discuss the material, allowing them to draw conclusions and to re-enforce their knowledge. Exercises are seldom done when the learner is doing self-study by reading a book or listening to an audio tape. In these situations, the learner may re-enforce through repetition. Reviewing information Answers to the exercises are then given with explanations to clarify the information and to help review the material. The last step in the training or education process is to verify knowledge or competency in the subject matter.
