Principle 1 : The Learning Specialist


A learning specialist must know the program, lesson, subject, skill, or truth to be taught.

visit: www.exploreHR.org

Rules to Apply for Principle 1


Prepare each lesson by fresh study and review. Illustrate new ideas, concepts, truths, and facts in terms of the everyday experiences of the learners. Discover the "natural order" of material or information to be presented.

Rules to Apply for Principle 1


Whenever possible relate the material to the lives of the learners Set aside a definite time for study for each session or lesson, in advance of the instruction.

Rules to Apply for Principle 1


Learning specialists should not limit themselves to the training aids at hand It is important to remember that complete mastery of just a few ideas is better than an ineffective smattering of many

Principle 2 : The Learner


A learner must attend with interest to the program, lesson, or subject.

visit: www.exploreHR.org

Rules to Apply for Principle 2


Never begin a training session until the attention (active) of the learners has been secured. Pause whenever attention is interrupted or lost; wait until it is completely regained before you begin again. Never completely exhaust the attention of the learners.

Rules to Apply for Principle 2


Appeal whenever possible to the personal interests of the learners. Use a variety of instructional methods to arouse the attention of the learners. Identify sources of distraction and reduce them to a minimum.

Principle 3 : The Language

The language used as a medium between the learning specialist and the learner must be common to both

visit: www.exploreHR.org

13

Rules to Apply for Principle 3


Use the simplest and fewest words that will express the desired meaning. Study carefully and constantly the language of the learners. Test the learners' understanding of the words frequently to make certain that they are not being incorrectly used.

Rules to Apply for Principle 3


Use short sentences of the simplest construction.
Use illustrations to help the learners understand the meaning of words and symbols.

If the learners fail to understand, repeat the idea or thought in other language, or use an analogy or example.

The information or skill to be mastered must be explicable in terms of information already known by the learner the unknown must be explained by means of the known.

17

Rules to Apply for Principle 4


Discover what the learners know of the subject, topic, and material; this is the starting point. Utilize the learners' knowledge and experience. Relate every lessonas much as possible to former lessons as well as to the experiences of the learners.

Arrange the presentation so that each step of the lesson leads easily and naturally to the next. Use illustrations that the learners can identify with.
