INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENTATION The following session presents an overview of the Draft Trainer's Manual. The objective is to take you through relevant portions very critical for effective delivery of the community level trainings. The Manual will be shared with you
PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL The project will rely on community structures for delivery of infrastructure and soft activities, at the subdistrict level. Some these structures are Community Facilitators, Community Project Implementation Committees, Facility Management Committees,Urban Zonal Town and Area Councils, Unit Committees, Community Based Organisations (CBOs), Assembly Members,Opinion Leaders and other community groups/associations
PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL The manual is therefore intended to provide guidance to trainers who will be providing capacity building to the aforementioned structures . These structures need to strengthened through training and provision of logistics to enable them function effectively. The manual covers training content, methodologies and principles that trainees will need during community level training activities.
STRUCTURE OF THE MANUAL The manual in its current form has two major sections. The first part covers the introductory sections and presents concepts, methods, and principles in the field of adult learning which a trainer needs to be aware of to be able to manage the learning process effectively. The second part presents the modules that deal in detail with the core topics that training intends to impart to the trainees.
STRUCTURE OF THE MANUAL Each topic is covered in a module or with sub-modules described as session . A module has a brief introduction, time allotted, objectives, expected outputs, teaching- learning materials, method of delivering the module and learning activities. A facilitator s notes handout are included in the module to give details content to both trainer and trainees. and participant
METHODS OF DELIVERING MODULES There are several methods that trainers may adopt in delivering each module. Let's discuss the following: Brain storming: The use of this method is generally made as a first step to generate initial interest and essential involvement of the trainees in the training activity. For this, the trainer asks the trainees to think of any ideas without evaluation or judgement.The quantity, not the quality, is what matters. Ideas can be discussed later for practical consideration. Sometimes unwanted or seemingly ridiculous ideas lead to a more practical idea, which would otherwise not have been considered.
METHODS OF DELIVERING MODULES Interactive lecture: This method is marked by encouraging the trainees to be quite active and analytical in their learning approach. They are also motivated to be inquisitive and anxious to know new things by asking questions and exploring alternatives.
METHODS OF DELIVERING MODULES Illustrative Talk: This is a lecture method supplemented by the use of proper illustration using training materials, including audio-visual aids. Presentation of success stories and case studies is also one of the essential elements of this method.
METHODS OF DELIVERING MODULES Group Discussion: Use of this method is based on the principle of the trainer taking on the role of a group promoter. This method is also an effective instrument of participatory learning, whereby the trainer acts as a group adviser, a group facilitator and a group torch bearer. Panel Discussion: The use of this method is marked by greater involvement promoting participatory learning. In this situation the trainer s role is limited to be that of coordinator and moderator of the discussion, in which the trainees as panellists act as catalyst agents of the learning process of trainees in
METHOD OF DELIVERING MODULES Role play: This is one of the most effective training methods of participatory learning, in which the trainees are provided an opportunity to put into action the skills learnt through the training. For this, an artificial situation is created, whereby every individual trainee is assigned a role which he/she enacts to demonstrate the skills learnt through the process of training. In ToT these assigned roles may be such as the trainer, the trainee, the operator of audio-visual equipment, etc. While using this method, the role of the facilitator of training is that of a guide or director of the enacted play.
