Document Summary
Instructional methods are techniques used to simulate learning. Instructional methods are presented in order of degree of trainee involvement, from passive to active. A training method in which the trainer presents to trainees the content to be learned. Large amounts of information can be provided to large groups of trainees in a relatively short period of time at a minimal expense, which makes it very efficient. More people are more comfortable with lecture because of little participation required. Lectures also have drawbacks; they are not as effective for the development of skills or for changing attitudes. Trainees are forced to absorb information at the same rate. Trainers should begin a lecture with an introduction to the topic and inform trainees about what they will learn and/or be able to do or accomplish by the end of the lecture. Should include stories, case incidents, graphics, humour, trainee presentations, videos, and question-and-answer sessions.
