COURSE CONTENT

In Module l, The Adult Learning Experience, you will explore the process of learning and consider some of the major aspects which affect how adults learn. Learning is a continuous process and it is important to understand that adults approach learning tasks in different ways.

In Module 2, Adult Learning Expectations, you will examine the driving forces behind adult behavior with an emphasis on empowering individuals to choose and develop for themselves what it is they want to learn. Trainers are guides through the human experience, leading participants from where they are to where they want to be. You will link these expectations with the mission of Junior Chamber to create positive change.

In Module 3, The Art of Training, you will explore the environment in which effective learning takes place and seek to discover the most appropriate methods and techniques of training. JCI Trainers are innovators, able to customize a learning experience based on the expectations of their participants. How you as a trainer build learning experiences and programs determines how effective you will be in training situations.

In Module 4, Your Learning Resources, you will learn about a wide range of simple and complex resources that an alert trainer can spot and apply right away. Learning resources are important, and identifying appropriate and effective resources is a required skill for JCI trainers.

In Module 5, Promoting and Presenting the Learning Experience, you will acquire ideas, techniques, and tools to create the most dynamic, effective, and innovative vehicle for conveying your learning program. This includes setting learning objectives; selecting, researching, and designing course material; and selecting the learning methods. As an innovative trainer you need innovative tools.

The real test comes in Module 6, Me-The Trainer, where you will have to open yourself-mind, heart and philosophy-to create the most caring and student-centered environment. Here all your experiences, acquired skills, and techniques from previous modules come together.

Finally, students and trainers alike have to stop and take a look at their progress in Module 7, Measuring the Learning Experience. Obtaining feedback is essential to good learning, and by evaluating all aspects of learning, we can improve the effectiveness of our training.
