Define Building Block Approach of Learning. ## Footnote FI.I.C.K10a
* Constitute the necessary parts of the total objective * A method of teaching in which complex concepts or skills are broken down into smaller, manageable components or tasks * The building blocks will depend on the individual learner * Too large, too complex; this will cause frustration which degrades motivation * Too small, too simple; the learner is not being challenged, which degrades motivation, and the task will become boring
64
How does the instructor ensures that each block is an integral part of the total training activity? ## Footnote FI.I.C.K10a
* Each block constitutes the necessary parts of the total objective. * Some blocks can be submerged in the structure, but each is an integral and necessary part. * The various blocks are not isolated but an essential part of the whole. * Each block should be fairly consistent in scope. * The blocks should represent units of learning that can be measured and evaluated, not a sequence of periods of instruction.
65
What should a training syllabus include? ## Footnote FI.I.C.K10b
* A training syllabus is a step-by-step, building block progression of learning with provisions for regular review and assessments at prescribed stages of learning. * The syllabus defines the unit of training, states by objective what the learner is expected to accomplish during the unit of training, shows an organized plan for instruction, and dictates the assessment process for either the unit or stages of learning.
66
How should a training syllabus be used? ## Footnote FI.I.C.K10b
* Must be flexible, and should be used primarily as a guide * The order of training should be altered to suit progress / special demands * When departing from the syllabus, the instructor must consider the effects on the learning blocks * The learning objectives should reflect each of the three learning domains
67
What is the purpose of lesson plans? ## Footnote FI.I.C.K10c
* Designed to assure each learner receives the best possible instruction under existing conditions * Help instructors keep a check on their own activity, as well as their learners * The instructor has in essence taught the lesson to themselves prior to teaching learners
68
