1.LECTURE METHOD:
A lecture is an oral presentation intended to present information or teach people about a particular subject.

TYPES OF LECTURE
A. Traditional oral essay


The teacher is an orator and the only speaker.

B. Participatory Lecture


begins with learners brainstorming ideas on the lecture topic on what they have read in preparation.

CONT..
C.Feedback Lecture


Consists with mini lectures with 10-minute small group discussion

opportunity to manipulate the lecture content

D. Mediated Lecture


Use of media such as films, slides, Web-based images along with traditional lecture.

ADVANTAGE OF LECTURE METHOD

Lectures can be an efficient means of introducing learners a new topic.

It can be used to stimulate trainees interest in a subject.

It can also be used to inspire people. It is economical in terms of student time.

CONT..

The teacher serves as a role

model for the students

Lectures bring enjoyment to the learners. It helps students develop their listening skills. A great deal of information can be communicated in a one hour lecture.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE LECTURE

METHOD

Lecturing is not conducive to meeting students individual needs. Lecturing brings with it the problem of limited attention span on the part of the learners. Based on incorrect assumptions about how people learn Does not actively involve trainees in training process.

2.CONFERENCE METHOD
The conference training method is a good problemsolving approach. A group considers a specific problem or issue and they work to reach agreement on statements or solutions.

TYPES OF CONFERENCE

Direct discussion

Here trainer guides the discussion in such a way that the facts, principles or concepts are explained.

Training Conference:

The group pool its knowledge and past experience and brings different points of view to bear on the problem.

Seminar Conference:

In this method instructor defines the problem, encourages and ensures the full participation in the discussion.

ADVANTAGES

Continuous process of updating with the latest methods, principles and technologies.

Gives participants a chance to interact with others.

Aims at improving co-operation and communication of the group.

DISADVANTAGES

Closed room training. No real hands on experience. Used for the top management only.

3.CASE METHOD
Case Studies try to simulate decision making situation that trainees may find at their work place. It reflects the situations and complex problems faced by managers, staff, HR, CEO, etc. The objective of the case study method is to get trainees to apply known concepts and ideologies and ascertain new ones. The case study method emphasize on approach to see a particular problem rather than a solution. Their solutions are not as important as the understanding of advantages and disadvantages.

CASE METHOD FOCUSES ON..

Case Study method focuses on: Building decision making skills Assessing and developing Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes (KSAs)

Developing communication and interpersonal skills Developing management skills Developing procedural and strategic knowledge

PROS & CONS OF CASE METHOD: Pros:

Develops analytic and problem solving skills. Allows for exploration of solutions for complex issues.

Allows student to apply new knowledge and skills.

CONT..
Cons:

May not see relevance to own situation. Insufficient information can lead to inappropriate results.

Not appropriate for elementary level. With a researcher observing the specimen closely, the specimen is likely to change their behaviour.

4.ROLEPLAYS
Role play is a simulation in which each participant is given a role to play. Trainees are given with some information related to description of the role, concerns, objectives, responsibilities, motions, etc.

ROLE PLAY HELPS IN

Developing interpersonal skills communication skills Conflict Resolution Group decision making Developing insight into one sown behaviour its impact on others

TYPES OF ROLE PLAYING GAMES

Single Role Play One group of participants plays the role for the rest. Providing demonstrations of situation other participants observe the role play. Analyze their interactions with one another and learn from the play Example:

Choose your own adventure books NPC Based video games

Multiple Role Play All trainees are in groups, with each group acting out the role play simultaneously. After the role play each group analyze the interaction and identifies the learning points.

5.GAMES AND SIMULATIONS

Games and Simulations are structured and sometimes unstructured, that are usually played for enjoyment sometimes are used for training purposes as an educational tool. Training games and simulations are different from work as they are designed to reproduce or simulate events, circumstances, processes that take place in trainees job.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF GAMING:

ROLES

The roles define the actors and decision makers in gaming simulation.

SCENARIO

It is the basic description of the system or situation which is the subject of the gaming.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

It is a set of procedures, which are developed for monitoring and recording the status of the system being explored in the gaming simulation.

GAMING SIMULATION TYPES:

GENERAL SYSTEM GAMES GROUP INTERACTION GAMES RESOURCE ALLOCATION GAMES INFLUENCE AND POSER ALLOCATION GAMES NON-SIMULATION GAMES COMMUNICATING GAMES PURE SIMULATION

WHY USE A GAMING SIMULATION???

Risk free environment Less expensive and time reduction Motivating learners, immediate feedback. Provides a systematic method of exploring is used through visualizing cause.

Perception of roles, problems and systems often seem to be broadened as a result of gaming experiences.
