Training Design
Definition: Process of developing a training system that learners and trainers can implement to meet the learning goals
-
Ice breakers
- It is an activity, game, or event that is used to welcome and warm up the conversation among participants.
- Opportunity for participants to network and get to know their colleagues
- For fun. This ensures that introductions and initial conversations occur; these are key to make sure that participants enjoy and find value in the session.
- Introduces the topic of the training session. The purpose is to open up the topic of the session.
- Have an activity based on the purpose of the session
- Before facilitation: When designing the ice breaker, think about the "ice" that needs to be broken. It is important to handle differences sensitively and only focus on what's important to the event - key objectives.
- Designing: Focus on similarities. The key to success is to make sure that the activity is specifically focused on meeting objectives and appropriate to the people involved.
- Facilitation: Focus on building the group, develop an atmosphere in which the group can work and learn together.
- When planning an icebreaker, describe the activity by giving explaining activity directions and be prepared for questions.
- Allow enough time for the processing of the activity, plan and keep track of the time meant for ice-breaking.
Training Layouts
Lecture Theatre Style:
- Advantage: If the training room is well designed, excellent visibility.
- Disadvantage: Poor trainer & participant contact. Hard to facilitate effective 2-way communication.
U shape style:
- Advantage: Trainer can walk into the U shape and gaining direct contact with each person.
- Disadvantage: As it is a U-shape, the front participant (side) have to look at an angle which could be uncomfortable.
Seminar/ Amphitheatre Style:
- Advantage: If the training room is well designed, excellent visibility. Easier to facilitate 2-way communication as compared to lecture theatre style.
- Disadvantage: Poor trainer & participant contact. Still hard to facilitate effective 2 way communication.
Herringbone Style:
- Advantage: Space effective for large numbers. All participants are at a good angle to the front. Trainer can walk down the spine.
- Disadvantage: Several participants hidden by others. Encourages dysfunctioning groups. Relatively poor contact between trainer and learners.
BoardRoom Style:
- Advantage: Good for small groups. Trainers and learners can see and interact with each others, can share resources which creates equality
- Disadvantage: Difficult for some individuals to see the front, especially if audiovisual aids are use.
Circle or ’round’ Style:
- Advantage: Good for small groups. Trainers and learners can see and interact with each others, can share resources which creates equality
- Disadvantage: Some participants have to look at an angle, especially if audiovisual aids are use.
