APPLICATION STAGE In this stage, the raw data that has been stored from the knowledge stage is transformed into practical application. Unfortunately, much stored data is lost long before it can be used. When knowledge is used, it is truly “learned.” “Hands-on” provides the strongest reinforcement for learning. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS With each of these stages, it is important to remember three factors: 1. Primacy-Recency Effect 2. 7 ± 2 theory 3. Law of Effect Primacy-Recency relates to when to present important information during a presentation. A learner tends to apply more importance and therefore more attention to the fi rst items in a list and is therefore more easily retained. The last items are also more easily retained as they will still be in short term memory The 7 ± 2 Theory infers that we tend to group important information in clusters not to exceed groups of 7 ± 2. If the intent of presented information is to have students truly learn the concepts or events, the amount of important material, presented at one time, is critical to future repetition over the long-term. The Law of Effect implies that we tend to repeat those things that are pleasing and tend to not repeat those things that are displeasing. Positive reinforcement or feedback serves to strengthen the likelihood that a learner will deem a task pleasing and therefore will be more likely to repeat the task in the desired manner. An instructor must do everything possible to encourage and support this behavior. The NSPF Instructor must be aware of these potential hindrances when designing the organization and content of their lessons. PRESENTATIONS There are three types of presentations: The one you want to give The one you do give The one you wished you had given How incredible would it be if all three presentations were the same? Most people understand the need to prepare a lesson. But most people do not understand the need to prepare their presentations. This is where most instructors fall short as effective teachers. Preparing your presentation is as important as preparing your lessons. These include, but are defi nitely not limited to: When you will ask a question When you will tell about a relevant experience Where you will be standing or moving during the presentation When you will pause for effect How your voice will change to emphasize a point Page 8 © 2014 National Swimming Pool Foundation®
Imagine a Broadway play where the actors just read their lines. I think you will agree that this would be extremely boring. Now imagine the actors delivering their lines as they do in real shows. There is a big difference between the two. You, as an instructor, are an actor of sorts. You can read your lines to your participants in a dry, boring fashion or you can be interesting, fascinating, and dynamic. In which class would you rather be a participant? PRESENTATION METHODS Presenting is communicating. Presentation methods vary from one instructor to another. The best instructors use multiple methods within their presentations. Whatever method you choose, keep your approach simple, to the point, and focused on the participants’ needs and abilities. Typical presentation methods include: Lecture: Demonstration: Group discussion: Brainstorming: Simulation: Presents facts in a short period of time Focuses participants’ attention on specifi c information Can be used with a large group Allows for good role-modeling Allows participants to learn from seeing a skill performed Reinforce the lesson Two-way communication Useful in problem solving and clarifying issues Stimulates thinking and more sound conclusions Engages participants by interactive exercises Focuses on solutions to problems Encourages creative thinking Engages all participants Allows participants to deal with practical problems Teaches decision-making Reinforces concepts learned PUBLIC SPEAKING Public speaking is both challenging and rewarding. However, it is a learned skill that takes practice to perfect. Controlling nervousness is probably the biggest challenge. Most instructors know enough about the topics they are presenting but fi nd it diffi cult to be relaxed communicators. Remember, it is not a fault to be human and make mistakes. In many cases, a mistake will “break the ice” and make the rest of the presentation go much easier. Of course, we all would rather not make mistakes. Some means of controlling nervousness include: Being prepared Keeping a positive attitude Maintaining eye contact Smiling Keeping the presentation pace slow Projecting your voice Conducting “introductions” © 2014 National Swimming Pool Foundation® Page 9
