  1. Title Leadership Development Course INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES

  2. BASICS OF INSTRUCTION    1. Tell Them This is the verbal part of teaching and it is known that trainees only retain about 10% what is being said. This is probably where you will fear most especially if you do not know them well.

  3. BASICS OF INSTRUCTION    2. Show Them At this point, you use visual aids or demonstrations to clarify what you have said. The trainees will understand you better as “a picture worth a thousand words”. Normally, they retain about 10%-30% of the teaching.

  4. BASICS OF INSTRUCTION    3. Get Them To Do It This is where the trainees retain about 70% of the teaching. You should get them to practice and encourage them to ask questions. It is important that you check on them and correct any mistake before it become a habit to them.

  5. PREPARING A LESSON 1. Set lesson objectives that you want to achieve at the end.  2. Know your trainees, their background and level of understanding.  3. Set priorities for your lesson topics. For example, there are things that you MUST TELL, SHOULD TELL and GOOD TO TELL.  4. Prepare the lesson ground, sitting arrangement, teaching materials etc.  5. Rehearse your lesson and time yourself if possible.

  6. An Example:‘Preparing a tent-pitching lesson’ 1. My lesson objective is that the Boys can pitch a tent within 15 min at the end of my lesson.  2. I know they are mainly sec 2s with little camping experience. Thus, I should use simple words and teach at a slower pace.  3. I MUST TELL them how to use the tent poles, pegs and fly sheet. I SHOULD TELL them how to choose a suitable ground to pitch a tent. If I got time, it is GOOD TO TELL them how to keep a tent clean.  4. I will look for a soft ground, get 2 helpers and inspect the tents before my lesson.  5. Am I sure of myself? If not, I better REHEARSE first.

  7. TEACHING A LESSON 1.Set the atmosphere right.   “Hi there! I am Sgt James. Do you enjoy this camp so far?”  2.Introduce lesson objectives and outline, and set expectations “In the next 45 min, I will go through… followed by…” 3.Confirm their level of understanding. Prepare to adjust if necessary. “How many of you have drill stage 1 badge?” 4. Stress the key points - avoid giving too much information.  “Remember to, ONE - lift up your leg, TWO - drive it down hard…”

  8. TEACHING A LESSON 5. Signal whenever you go to new topic “That’s all about marching. Now, I will talk about halting”  6. Summarize lesson and recapture key points.  “Today you’ve learned… Remember to, ONE - lift up your leg, TWO…”  7. Encourage questions or ask them question if there is none. Share extra knowledge that is helpful or interesting if time allows.  “Do you know why our drill commands are in Malay?” 

  9. GIVING A DEMONSTRATION ·Position yourself so that everybody can see you. If possible, get a few demonstrators so that you can concentrate on teaching.  ·Demonstrate at normal speed to give the trainees a run-through.  ·Demonstrate at slow speed, explain the key points, possible mistakes and allow questions to be asked.  ·Use proper terms in your explanation.

  10. CONDUCTING THE PRACTICE ·Check on the trainees and correct mistakes on the spot.  ·Identify the common/serious mistakes and caution the trainees about them before they practice further.   ·End the practice by stressing on the key points or common/serious mistakes.  ·If necessary, conclude your lesson with a last demonstration. This will leave the trainees with a correct mental picture before they leave.
