Study Notes
Instructor Development Course Overview
- Primary goal is to instill base-level confidence for teaching, evaluating, and certifying individuals in emergency care.
- Training involves actively developing practical skills necessary for effective teaching.
Learning Characteristics
- Successful learning encompasses the retention and application of information.
- Adult learners value concepts relevant to their lives and experiences.
- Retention challenges arise without ongoing reinforcement; skills may deteriorate over time.
Instructor's Role and Skills
- Instructors facilitate knowledge expansion and skill improvement for students.
- Being “qualified” as an instructor means possessing the necessary skills and credentials.
- Effective verbal communication is crucial as it's the primary means to engage students.
Learning Environment Management
- Establishing your presence as the class instructor involves introductions.
- A positive learning environment is characterized by enthusiasm from the instructor.
- Classroom setup must accommodate basic considerations, but formal evaluations are not essential for hands-on practice.
Training Methodologies
- Lesson plans serve as detailed outlines for training sessions.
- Map-based instructional approaches allow for selecting various routes to achieve learning outcomes.
- Psychomotor skill development necessitates cognitive understanding and adequate practice.
Feedback and Evaluation Practices
- Constructive feedback improves student performance and should be timely.
- Checking for understanding involves posing questions to assess content comprehension.
- Informal evaluation of psychomotor skills is best achieved through visual observation.
Remediation and Ethics
- Remediation addresses learning deficits; identifying the cause of inadequate performance is a recommended first step.
- Negligence represents a failure to act reasonably, and instructors should maintain high personal ethics in interactions.
Cultural Competence in Training
- Cultural awareness entails understanding and accepting cultural differences in a diverse classroom.
- Improvement of diversity can be achieved through education on cultural differences.
Technology Integration
- Successful technology use enhances learning environments; tools must be visible and audible to all students.
- CPR training manikins with built-in feedback devices deliver real-time information, crucial for skill reinforcement.
Administrative Considerations
- Class administration and documentation are essential for establishing training records.
- Class rosters serve as the principal record for training in ASHI or MEDIC First Aid classes.
- Instructors must align with training centers to conduct courses and issue certification cards.
ASHI and MEDIC Training Programs
- ASHI programs favor a direct approach to training, particularly through structured courses like CPR and AED.
- MEDIC First Aid programs utilize a route-focused approach to meet specific training requirements, such as those outlined in PediatricPlus for childcare providers.
