...participants feel comfortable and get to know each other as soon as possible. The activities the trainer or facilitator uses at the beginning of a course to help the participants get to know each other are known as icebreakers or introductions. Here are a number of icebreakers and introductions you can use. Unique Characteristics - Even if the participants already know each other, the clinical trainer must get to know them. Instead of asking participants to say their names, the trainer can divide the group into pairs and give participants a few minutes to interview each other. Then, each participant should introduce their partners by name and to share at least two unique characteristics about them. Your Favorite Things - The trainer divides the group into pairs and ask participants to tell each other their favorite food or name the animal they feel best describes them and why. This information is shared with the group when participants introduce their partners. Ball Toss - Participants and the clinical trainer form a circle and toss a soft ball around the circle. Participants state their names as they catch the ball. After a few minutes, when they catch the ball, they call out the name of the person who tossed it to them. This activity can also be used throughout the course by substituting a quick information exchange for people’s names. For example, the clinical trainer may ask, “What are the indications for IUD use?” The ball is tossed around the circle and participants...

The manager, the trainer, and the lawyer have created this plan to ensure that everything that needs to be learned will be listed and thoroughly covered and taught in the best available manner. The employees should be able to complete the procedure list with in five months without direct supervision. By re-training and training new employees, this will benefit the organization by improving the end results of the work being produced, time lines being met, and each employee being able to carry another person’s position should a fellow colleague be absent or let go. It will also create a hostile free work environment since every employee will be working towards the same goal and promote team work should one of their peers fall behind. In order to accomplish this goal, the employees will be doing hands on training with a model employee/ trainer. By doing so, this will ensure that the employee/ employee’s will learn the correct work behaviors, the method that the work is to be produced in, the time lines for each assignment, and the requirement of the document being error free. Since there is only one main shift in the office which is 8 am to 6 pm, and the current employees still need to produce work, the trainer will have two training sessions every other day. Aside from getting regular work done, this will also allow the employees to practice and implement...

...Activity 1 The training session is designed for adults, therefore is autonomous and self-directed, discussions are encouraged with and between the participants, as their own experience is an important resource. This helps with the learning cycle, as they are asked to think about a concrete situation, reflect on it, afterwards we move on to the theory and we finish by planning what they would do differently next time. In order to appeal to different learning styles, different methods are used in this training. We have a case study, group discussions, an established theory and a video. Several factors that may affect learning are considered to help the learners to achieve the objectives. Firstly, individual factors, i.e. prior knowledge, the presentation starts with a short discussion of the concept of ‘Time Management’ (TM) to find out what information needed to pre-teach before jumping into the actual lesson. Another individual factor is motivation; people who are motivated to learn something generally succeed, even if they have to work hard to do so. The benefits are highlighted at the beginning of the presentation in order to make it relevant to the participants and increase their motivation. Secondly, environmental factors, i.e. physical conditions, the room layout should be appropriate, with good lighting, comfortable temperature and ventilation; and trainer’s approach, where the session should have a participatory climate to facilitate learning. The training session...

...Transfer of training is the process in which you transfer the training you received to your job. Training transfer is defined as “the application continued by learners to performance of jobs, individuals, community responsibilities of knowledge in learning activities” (Broad, 1997, p. 2). The ability of an employee to transfer training back to the workplace is not an absolute following training. One of the main factors that impact the transferring process is the fact the training is a completely new behavior to the trainee. New behaviors are difficult to implement and require practice before it can be effective. A way to ease this difficulty is trainer support in the form of a sit in. A trainer support sit in is when the trainer comes in, follows the trainee around on the job, and provides feedback on how they do. Two other large factors that impact transfer of training are supervisor support and peer support. Supervisor and peer support provide incentive for the trainee to practice new behaviors. Supervisors mainly need to be giving feedback on how the trainee is doing on the job. A downfall of peer support is that some peers may have been on the job for a long amount of time and used to doing things the old way. These particular peers may be detrimental to the trainee's practicing of the new behaviors they acquired during training. Broad, M. L. (1997). Transfer concepts and research overview. In M. L.

There will also be a 15 minute break with light refreshments.

The information to be discussed at the seminar will be presented as a PowerPoint presentation. The hospital will equip the room with the computer, projector, and all other audio devices needed.
