Factors which can affect learning & achievement
Accommodation:
The earlier you can arrive to prepare for the session the better; you may need to set up IT equipment before the trainees arrive. Prepare the room for the session, for activities tables may need to be re-arranged, flip charts moved or they may need to use a Wi-Fi hub. Handouts may need to be positioned ready along with exercises and the resources that are going to be used. Good preparation will allow the session to run more smoothly and look more professional, usually the trainer feels more comfortable and relaxed when they have had prep time (or at least I do).
Resources:
If there is a lot of talking to be done make sure handouts are creative and use them interactively …show more content…
There could also be many other resources required for the training session, within my department the details are contained in their own specific folder within the 6 pack for each course. These tell the planning team when they look in advance what resources in total we need e.g. joints, spacers, cranes, winches staff numbers and handouts and what towers we require all these are very important and could stop the training …show more content…
The belief that humans just respond to stimuli and do not think is totally wrong and does not explain things like problem solving.
Examples of behaviourists are P. Pavlov (1849-1936), S. Freud (1856-1939) J. B Watson (1878- 1958) and E. L. Thorndike (1874-1949).
The Neo-Behaviourist school advocate the behaviourist theories but add that learning must be driven by goals and targets. Examples are B. F. Skinner (1904- 1990) and A.Bandura (1977)
The type of learning under the behaviourist school will be Pedagogy. This is the name given to the skill or ability of teaching/training. It is predominantly related to teacher- centred methods and passive methods of learning. It can be an authoritative and autocratic style of teaching/training. The term is still used to relate to teaching children.
The model of learning will be Objectivism. This is where the teacher transmits knowledge in the form of rules and expects practical skills to be gained by the learners it is teacher centred and a typical role is that of an instructor rather than a coach.
I believe this type of learning training takes place at the start of the OHL Apprenticeship when the trainees are learning fundamental knowledge on OHL’s and basic
