State and discuss five ways of learning.
Imitation: Students observe the behavior of others (primarily the instructor) and imitate that behavior. Even without direct reinforcement of the repeated behavior, learning still occurs. Trial and error: Also called discovery learning, trial and error is learning by doing. Hands-On experience is how some students learn and are able to achieve success sooner. The instructor is instrumental in setting the proper example for the student, resulting in fewer errors. Association: A comparison of past learning to new learning situations, association is a mental process which serves as a reference point for students. New problems are easier to comprehend and solve when there is a similar element which can be remembered from past experiences. Insight: Insight is the understanding that the whole is more than just the sum of the parts. To learn by insight, the learner grasps the way the elements of a problem situation are connected. It is unplanned discovery of a solution to a problem, often called the "ah-ha" phenomenon, resulting from a mental reorganization of ideas and concepts rather from simple "trial and error". Transfer: The process of applying past learning to new but somewhat similar situations. This is an important process in Navy technical training because the training environment can rarely duplicate the actual job environment. If possible, use of the actual equipment the student will use in the fleet should be used for training.

Discuss the Instructor's responsibilities to students
It is the instructor's responsibility to help students resolve conflicts that may arise from those outside influences. The instructor is in a unique position to identify persons who may be experiencing conflict. Since the instructor interacts with students on a frequent basis, he should be able to notice changes in a student's performance or behavior then take steps to help. It is also his responsibility to Teach effectively, set a good example for students to follow, and resolve conflicts, which can hinder training. Fraternization: You must be aware of the Navy's policy on fraternization, OPANVINST 5370.2 (series) and individual command policy, particularly as it applies between you and your students. Be especially careful in your personal associations, particularly with regard to interactions with students. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct that undermines the integrity of the instructor-student relationship. The Navy has a policy of zero tolerance of sexual harassment, per the SECNAVINST 5300.26 (series) and individual command policy. Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination involving unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when the following occurs: • Submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of a person's job, pay, or career. • Submission to or rejection of such conduct by a person is used as a basis for career or employment decisions affecting this person. • Such conduct interferes with an individual's performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.

KNOWLEDGE: Be thoroughly familiar with the subject matter being taught (Subject Matter Expert). Know more an=bout the subject than what you teach. Conduct training to meet the needs of the Navy, not individual members. Know basic instructional strategies and techniques. ABILITY: Professional Ability; Leadership skills planning and organizing, optimizing use of resources delegating authority, monitoring progress and results, disciplining and rewarding. Instructional ability; be efficient and effective. Know principles, methods, techniques of instruction, and how to apply them. PERSONALITY: Gain the respect of the students by displaying a professional attitude towards others, showing sincere interest in students regardless of race, geographical heritage, or level of intellect. Adhere to the rules of conduct; also called Instructor's code of ethics. 1. If the answer is unknown, admit it. 2. Keep remarks professional and appropriate (no profanity) 3. Be patient 4. Maintain rapport with students (no sarcasm) 5. Treat students with respect (be sincere).
Describe what is required of a skill and knowledge learning objective.
Knowledge Performance Objectives will be either skill or knowledge. Skill, isolate the "action" portion, consisting of a performance action verb, the object of that action, and the minimum qualifiers, so that the statement makes sense. Knowledge, isolate the "action" portion, consisting of an action verb, the object of that action and the minimum qualifiers, so that the statement makes sense. Refer to testing section.
Discuss during knowledge test design how the knowledge learning objective criticality is determined to perform a task.
Knowledge tests will be developed using test items. Test items Knowledge test design begins with determining the criticality of each learning objective. This process determines which learning objectives to assess through formal testing and which learning objectives should be assessed by informal testing. At the completion of this step, the assessment of each learning objective is determined. Analysis of task data(discussed in Chapter 3) provides the information for determining learning objective criticality. To determine criticality refer to the following elements of course source data, at a minimum: criticality of performance, and frequency of performance. Additional fields may be considered if deemed necessary by curriculum developers. The factors used to determine the criticality of each learning objective will be listed in the testing plan.
Discuss the two methods of testing and their importance.
Knowledge: Knowledge tests measure the achievement of objectives through the use of test items written at the appropriate learning level. Performance: Performance tests measure skill acquisition by having the student demonstrate specific behaviors defined by learning objectives.

State and discuss the six laws of learning.
LAW OF READINESS : The Law of Readiness states that people can only learn when they are physically and mentally read. LAW OF EXERCISE : The Law of Exercise stresses that practice makes permanent and perfect (when taught correctly). LAW OF EFFECT: The Law of Effect involves the emotional reaction of the learner. Learning will always be much more effective when a feeling of satisfaction, pleasantness, or reward accompanies or is a result of the learning process. LAW OF PRIMACY: This law states that the first instructional event often creates a strong, almost unshakeable, impression on the learner. LAW OF INTENSITY: The Law of Intensity states that if the stimulus (experience) is real, a change in behavior (learning) is far more likely to occur. LAW OF RECENCY: All things being equal, the things learned last will be best remembered.
Describe the use of each test instrument as they relate to knowledge and performance tests : Labeling
Labeling or identification test items are used to measure the trainee's ability to recall facts and label parts in pictures, schematics, diagrams, or drawings.
Discuss the barriers to effective communication.
Lack of common core experience: you are unlikely to find any group in which students have the same common core experience. Overuse of abstractionisms: Concepts, ideas, or words that are not directly related to the subject being discussed. To avoid confusion you should speak in concrete terms be specific. Fear: One of the greatest barriers to effective communication. The fear of showing ignorance, fear of disapproval, fear of losing status, and fear of judgment are common barriers. Environmental Factors: such as noises and temperature may interfere with the communication process.

List and discuss the key principles of applying motivation theory in a training situation.
NAVEDTRA 134 Chapter 3 page 23 & 24 Needs and Drives: A need or drive is usually defined as a lack of something desirable or useful that causes a desire for satisfaction. Example, the need to belong can motivate a student to seek group acceptance. That need, or drive, can cause the student to behave in a manner which eventually reduces the need and results in satisfaction. Attitudes: Attitudes consist of feelings for or against people, objects, or ideas. Show students a positive attitude when presenting a lesson. The students seeing a positive reinforcement from the instructor will cause a desire to learn the material. Achievements: Achievement is a strong desire, an aim, a goal or a desired objective. To make an effort to succeed interesting students must have a need to achieve at a certain level. Values: The students values, attitudes, and previous experience affect the nature and the amount that the student learns. The instructor must use a motivation technique which fits the student's value system. Interests: Refers to a person's view of an activity as worthwhile or enjoyable for its own sake. As an instructor, learn to control student interest throughout the lesson. If the student loses interest, the learning process breaks down. Incentives: Incentives (rewards) stimulate student motivation. Good grades, awards, choice of orders out of school, or selection as an honor student can motivate students to achieve.
List and discuss the four principles of John Keller's model of motivational theory.
NAVEDTRA 134 Chapter 3 page 27 Attention. Attracting attention is an important first step, but don't be fooled. Learners will certainly pay attention if you do something surprising like blow a boatswain's pipe. But unless what you do after that makes sense to learners or is relevant to them, you won't keep their attention and they are unlikely to learn what follows. Learners must think about what they hear, see, or do to optimize learning. The vivid descriptions of relevant sea stories or questions posed directly to the learner are among the best strategies that can capture their attention and focus their thinking. Relevance. Relevance motivates trainees by connecting what they are learning to what they will be doing on the job. When they see the relevance, they are more likely to put forth the effort it takes to understand and apply what is being taught. Confidence. When students feel confident they can do something competently, even if it takes some effort, they are more likely to give it a try. Instructors can guide learners by helping them set challenging but achievable goals, building their confidence, and helping them become aware of the relationship between effort and success. Satisfaction. Feeling good about an experience often serves as its own motivator. Some tasks are rewarding in themselves, and students will stay motivated until they achieve their goals. Other times, recognition from others contributes to their sense of satisfaction. As an instructor, you can increase learners' satisfaction by creating opportunities for them to succeed, maintaining high standards, and recognizing students' attainment of those standards.

The instructor should know the difference between changes and revisions and how they affect the course of instruction (a change is minor, pen and ink, a revision requires TPP, CCA approval). The instructor should know what the surveillance process is and why it is important to the course. Maintenance of the curriculum is an ongoing effort to ensure course curriculum remains current and accurate. Any deficiency noted as a result of surveillance requires a change to the curriculum or training
Discuss the Instructor's responsibilities to security

State and discuss the types of sensory learners.
Sensory learning is the first type of learning that occurs for any human being. Its influence is apparent in children as we watch them grow up. Each sense, either singularly or in various combinations, provides a pathway to learning. With that in mind, an examination of sensory learning and its special considerations may provide insight into the learning process. Various types of sensory learners: Visual Learner. Sight is considered the most important sense, accounting for as much as 75 percent of our basic learning. Most early learning comes from seeing and imitating. Therefore, you would be wise to consider using appropriate visual aids in your presentations. For example, visual learners prefer and enjoy graphic illustrations, color coding, maps, written materials to define new concepts, wall charts, drawings and designs and sitting up close during briefs. Be sure to recognize and accommodate students with any visual impairment. Auditory Learner. Hearing is the second most important sense, accounting for a large percentage of the remaining sensory learning capacity. Experts differ on specific numbers, but the significance of sight and sound together is overwhelming. Your speech patterns and volume are critical classroom learning factors. For example, auditory learners prefer a verbal presentation of new information, a lecture, a group discussion to hear other points of view, fast-paced verbal exchange of ideas, a good joke or story they can repeat, verbal cues or pneumonic devices to help them remember information, words to accompany a cartoon, and oral reports from working groups. Just as with sight impairments, you must accommodate students with hearing impairments. Kinesthetic Learner. Although it is not normally identified as one of the senses, the phenomenon of kinesthesia is an extension of sensory learning. Think of it as a sensory perception residing in one's muscles, joints, and tendons that gives people a special awareness of their spatial relationship with their surroundings. Kinesthesia is actually a blend of all senses with psychomotor and perceptual skills. It manifests itself in people's ability to balance or move with coordination. For example, kinesthetic learners like movement, hands-on experience to learn, gestures while making a point, role-play exercises over discussion groups, shaking hands when meeting or greeting people, trying new things without a lengthy explanation of the activity, frequent breaks, regular opportunities to change seating or room arrangement, and they would rather just do it rather than talk about it.
