| 摘要： | The National Highway Institute (NHI), the Federal Highway Administration's external training arm, has implemented a far-reaching program to upgrade the skills of its instructors and to ensure that they are able to use the most advanced instructional methods that focus on the needs of adult learners. This 6-month-old program is already a success. Until recently, NHI certified its instructors based exclusively on technical knowledge; however, starting in the fall of 1998, NHI began taking the certification process a step further. Within 3 years, all NHI instructors must demonstrate their ability to teach adult learners. Adults learn by doing. Through active participation, individuals can retain up to 90% of what they are taught. To ensure that participants of NHI courses receive this kind of interactive instruction, NHI has started to assess the presentations of current and potential instructors against a standard list of competencies. Instructors must demonstrate their competency in six areas: positive behavior modeling, communication, classroom management, facilitation and trainer skills, knowledge of adult learning theory, and technical knowledge. The training experts can also give guidance to the instructors to make the course they teach more interactive and participant-oriented. The master trainers also offer suggestions for improving the effectiveness of printed instructional material. Twenty instructors were certified during the first 6 months, and several more were scheduled to be observed in the near future. |
