Self-Check
• Identify a skill which you think you are really good
at. (Skill A)
• Identify a skill which you think you are not very
good at. (Skill B)
• How do you know that you are good at performing
skill A?
• How do you know that you are not good at

Tips on selecting Training Methods
(CAP-US)
Apply always a combination of techniques
Active participation of trainees should be
encouraged as much as possible: participative
training
Understanding basics and relations of the course
subjects are more important than learning facts
Select a combination of techniques which is
'suitable' for both trainers as well as participants

Types of Training Techniques
Interactive Lecture Method
Advantages :
a quick and simple way to provide information to large
groups.
rather inexpensive when compared to the other forms of
training
allows for the giving and taking of questions
Lecture
• Convey information, theories or principles
• Depends on trainer for content
Uses
Introduce a subject
Bring Facts/statistics
Overview
Large groups
Keep It Simple and Short
Demonstration
• Show and explain an activity
• Provides a model
• Learn by doing
Uses
Model a behaviour
Illustrate points
Create a visual impact
Small Group Activity / Discussion
(Buzz OR Syndicate)
• Learners share their own experience
• 4- 8 participants in a group
• Involve all participants
Uses
Planning / problem solving
In-depth exploration
Learn from each other
Practice new skills
Case Study
• Analysis of a hypothetical but
realistic situation
• No “right answers”
• Participant devises his/her own
solution
Uses
Discuss typical situations
Recognize multiple approaches
Safe environment
Role-Play
• Participants act out a hypothetical situation
• Everyone becomes part of the scenario
• Participants bring their own experience to role
Uses
Skill building
Affects feelings and attitudes
Rehearsal preview
Pushes for new solutions
Brainstorming
• For a group or individual creativity technique
• Efforts are made to find a conclusion
• For a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas
• Spontaneously contributed by its member(s).
Uses
Relaxed, informal approach to problem solving
Sharing of learning & experiences
Creates new ideas
Motivates and develops teams
Checking the understanding of participants
Interactive Lecture
• Provide knowledge;
• General idea of the scope and
content of subject;
• Stimulate interest in a subject or
thought;
• Persuade people of their own
capacity to understood or enjoy;
• Provide an aesthetically stimulating
experiences.

Exercise
Recency
Things that are learned last are best remembered
Summarize frequently
Plan review sections
Divide subject into mini-topics of about 20 minutes in
length
31
Appropriateness
All information, training aids, case studies, etc must be
appropriate to participant’s needs
Clearly identify a need
Use descriptions, examples or illustrations that the
participants are familiar with
Motivation
Participants must want to learn, must be ready to learn,
must have some reason to learn
Presenter must also be motivated
Identify a need for the participants
Move from the known to the unknown
Primacy
Things learned first are learnt best
Short presentations
Interesting beginning
Updates on direction and progress of learning
Get things right the first time
2-way communication
Communicate with participants
Include interactive activities in sessions plan
Match body language with verbal message
Feedback
Trainer and trainee need information from each other
Include feedback activities (e.g., questions; tests) in
sessions plan
Give feedback on performance immediately
Positive and negative feedback
Acknowledge good work (positive reinforcement)
Active learning
Participants learn more when they are actively involved
in the learning process
Use practical exercises
Use questions
Get the participants to DO it
Multiple-sense learning
Learning is more effective if participants use more than
one of five senses
Tell AND show
I see and I forget
I hear and I remember
I do and I understand.
Confucius a. 450 BC
Exercise
Things that are repeated are best remembered
Hear, see, practice, practice
Frequent questions
Frequent recall
Give exercises
Advantages
Disadvantages
• Most economical.
Particularly useful when
there are many people to
be trained, and scarce
training resources available
for instruction.
• Trainer is in complete
control of time, material
and presentation. Thus,
more coverage in short
time.
• Limits participants to a
passive role - listening.
One way
communication.
• Skills, which require
practice, cannot be
taught
• No feedback
• Difficult to convince
people by merely talking
at them
