Document Summary
Lecture the trainer presents to trainees the training content to be learned: unidirectional flow of info from trainer to trainee, advantages: Large amounts of info provided to large groups in short period of time @ min expense = efficient. Key points emphasized & repeated trainees are hearing the same important message (e. g. instructions or changes in procedures) Explain to trainees what"s to follow in the rest of the training session (e. g. highlight the key learning points of a video/role play) + requires little participation: disadvantages: Not as effective for the development of skills or for changing attitudes. Doesn"t accommodate differences in trainee ability, & all trainees are forced to absorb info. Trainees are forced to be passive learners w/little opportunity to connect the content to their own work environment or to receive feedback on their understanding of the material. Overcome time for discussion, q&a, + other opportunities for trainee involvement.
