  1. Lesson #4SY 2013-14The Art of Instruction

  2. Purpose The purpose of this lesson is to demonstrate techniques of effective military instruction.

  3. Performance Objectives At the end of this discussion, cadets will have a better understanding of effective military instruction.

  4. Performance Evaluation At the conclusion of this block of instruction, cadets will be able to teach a cadet common task using the techniques discussed in this lesson.

  5. Example • How do you lace and tie a shoe?

  6. Fact Though you may know how to do a routine task, it is much more complex to instruct someone else how to complete that routine task.

  7. Discussion • What are some routine tasks that you are going to have to instruct 4th Classmen to perform when they arrive?

  8. Instructional Considerations • Not all people learn a task the same way. • Some learn by simply observing • Some learn by hands on and doing • You will have to determine which method each of your subordinates learns by the best. • This takes careful observation and persistence.

  9. How to Instruct • 1) The first thing an instructor should do is state the task that is to be learned • 2) After stating the task, briefly explain why the task is important • 3) If possible demonstrate what the completed task is to look like (the end result or STANDARD)

  10. How to Instruct • To actually teach the task you must break down each step into simple elements a) An example of this is breaking down a drill movement into numbered steps b) This can also be done with other simple tasks such as shining shoes and brass

  11. How to Instruct • KEY POINTMost often instruction is non-verbal. The cadets who you are responsible for will follow your example and act the way you do. Your actions and your words must be consistent. Do not confuse your personnel with “mixed signals.”

  12. How to Instruct • To become a proficient in instruction, an instructor must rehearse what they will instruct.

  13. How to Instruct • To effectively learn a task trainees must: 1) Be able to hear what you are saying • Be able to see what you are showing them • Must Understand the significance of what they are learning. • Must be relaxed and have their minds focusedon what you are instructing. • Must have the opportunity to try it themselves under supervision

  14. How to Instruct • When teaching a new task, trainees must receive instant feedback as to how they are performing the task they have been taught. • During the process of learning a new task a trainee must not be degraded or made to feel stupid. This breeds frustration and an unwillingness to continue with the task. • It is OK to offer praise when praise is due. • Your Goal is to have each trainee meet the standard for the task, not quit.

  15. The Keys to Mastery • There are two keys to mastering a task:1) Repetition (practice makes perfect)2) Constant Feedback

  16. The Keys to Mastery • Not everyone will master a task at the same time. • This fact calls for patience and perseverance on the part of the instructor. • If the trainee is willing to learn and the instructor has patience and perseverance even the slowest learner can master a task.

  17. Practical Exercise Break out into your discussion groups. During the next 10 minutes your group will determine a course of instruction for an assigned cadet common task and attempt to instruct the group in that task in a simple logical manner.
