Educational Training Practice 2

Educators will benefit if they train students to develop their educational skills.  Skills which can facilitate a student's success in school.  Skills which help students become better educated by knowing how to study, learn, and teach.  As educators we can properly train students to develop these skills.

How can students practice educational training?

The practice stage of Educational Training has two components: Drills and Application.  Students can practice educational training by taking part in drills that develop a Core Central Knowledge from which ideas and concepts radiate, and by applying such knowledge, ideas, and concepts to produce educational work.

Educational  Drills can be designed to develop a Core Central Knowledge through the use of various sources and samples.  If the core central knowledge we want to design a drill for is addition, we begin by defining it,  demonstrating its use, and allowing students to try it on their own.  Addition can then radiate to other concepts like adding negatives, fractions, real numbers, polynomials, etc.

Educational Application can be designed by educators to have students Produce Work by having them draw on their understanding of core knowledge.  After doing drills on addition, students can produce work that demonstrates their understanding of this concept by applying it to doing projects, presentation, group work, and they can challenge themselves by pursuing further understanding of addition in mathematics.

Educational Training Practice 1

As we train for education, like we do for many events in life, we travel along a three-track process: We study, we learn, we teach.  Training for education leads to the development of educational skills, which can facilitate success in school, when developed properly.

The educational training process provides an opportunity to study, learn, teach, and develop skills at a favorable rate of growth.  This can be accomplished at an individual and collaborative level.  It also provides an opportunity to commit mistakes and errors which should then be repaired and corrected prior to proceeding with further training.

Following Warming Up, the initial stage of educational training, is the Practice stage.  The educational training stage of practice has two components: Drills and Application.  Educational training drills should be designed to develop a core central knowledge from which ideas and concepts radiate.  Educational training application draws from our understanding of knowledge to produce work.

With the development of core central knowledge, from which ideas and concepts radiate, and the application of understanding, by producing work, we can successfully complete the practice stage of educational training.  The educational training stage of practice brings to a close the training process of education.  With the educational training process complete, after warming up through stretching and conditioning, and practicing through drills and application, we can proceed to use the skills, which have facilitated success at school, in our daily life.  Whether it is at home, at work, or in pursuit of further education.
