Instructor Qualification Standard / V1 2023-12-04
Instructor led training is the core of GWO module trainings, where lessons and learning activities are led by an instructor who leads, facilitates, supervises and take responsibility of the training. We need to facilitate the learner’s process and yet know when to stop if the situation becomes dangerous. The instructor must intervene as soon as a risk of an incident is detected, or in case of the participants practising and learning in a wrong direction. The balance between “learning from mistakes” and the participants exposing themselves to risks or danger when practising must always be unquestionable.
Intervention (Instructor’s)
In this training standard, “learners” refer to the future course participants to be trained by the present IQT participant.
Learners
Learning
In the GWO Taxonomy Framework, learning is defined as:
Learning is individual and personal constructions of experiences. Experiences are the results of reflections on impressions from acting. Acting includes listening, reading, observing, discussing, and trying to solve a task. To act always involves more than the individual itself, and therefore experience, and thus learning, is a social construction. To learn, we have to act, and the more motivated, involved, and active we are in the process, the more we learn. Learning activities aim at the knowledge, skills, and abilities defined in the learning objectives, so that the participants’ progress can be observed and supported on an ongoing basis in relation to the learning objectives. In the GWO Taxonomy Framework, the suggested learning activities are the minimum standard of learning activities for each learning domain and level. Training providers and instructors with a flair for creativity and focus on excellence may go above the listed activities. The participants learn the most when they try on their own and by so doing create their own learning experience. Hence the learning process must allow for risks of failing, and the instructor must maintain the balance between safe experimentation and the need for intervening, when necessary.
Learning Activities
Learning From Mistakes
Learning Log The participants may use a learning log to capture learning experiences, learning points, good ideas, warnings, inspiration and other relevant reflections from the training or workshop.
Learning Objectives
GWO uses the term learning objective in training standards to describe what the participant must be able to do, after successfully completing the training. The domains of knowledge, skills and ability are used to describe learning objectives. Definitions of knowledge, skills and ability are presented in three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced level. On each level it is implicit that learning objectives at
