Training is one of the most important cultural pillars linking countries to achieving their development goals, Including the development of cadres and the strengthening of their productive capacities, It leads to remarkable positive changes in the capabilities of individuals and target groups.
If training is the process of providing knowledge, skills and attitudes to a group of people with the aim of enhancing professionalism to maximize productivity, Training bags are one of the best contemporary training methods to achieve these goals.
The concept of training bags:
It is a scientific description of a training program that includes the requirements of the five stages of the training process: Analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation.
Some have expanded the concept of the training package to a more comprehensive concept that includes all training equipment, materials, strategies and tactics designed in an integrated manner to influence the knowledge, skills and behaviour of trainees to meet the required needs or partial training
Components of the training bag:
The training package includes literature, illustrations, assistance, training methods, training lesson plans and supplements collected from sources or through practical and field experience.
It consists of five main sections:
- Package key: Contains elements related to the definition, purpose, importance and content of the package.
This part consists of the following elements:
- Paper cover package material, including the name of the training material, the course, and the section, And the name of the package creator, And scientific references, And the person who developed the package.
- Index of key contents.
- A copy of the approved program guide.
- Theoretical training content: This section divides the training material into sections by the number of units, Each unit is separated from the next with a piece of paper with the name of the following unit on it.
The content of the module section includes the following elements:
- Training unit schedule, It includes: The name of the training unit, the watches, and behavioral objectives, and topics.
- Training courses. The training courses for each unit reflect the training activities required to achieve the curriculum objectives within a specified time frame of 50 or 100 minutes. The course includes:
- Session Number.
- The time it takes for the training session.
- The objectives of the training session.
- Topics of the training session.
- Basic training activities for the session.
- Training content: This part includes:
- scientific material in the form of a brief definition, Including definitions of terms on the subject of the training module or definitions of the stages and steps that need to be learned to implement the application.
- Training in applications and tools to implement them.
- Evaluation of the training bag: In this section a copy of the measuring tools used to acquire skills and knowledge can be attached for use by the trainee, Or it may be sufficient to mention the type and level of evaluation of each training unit. Given the importance of linking evaluations to the objectives of the training unit, Trainers expect to keep the ratings until the evaluation time to attach them to the implementation manual. The distribution of evaluation scores according to the weights of the training units is also taken into account, The total evaluations of all units are equivalent to the total result of the training material, which is equivalent to 100 degrees.
- Sources of learning and accompanying educational materials: This section contains a list of external readings related to the training unit, the basic references used, their classification numbers, the publisher, the date of publication, and the relevant page numbers, For scientific purposes documentation and assistance to trainees in referencing the basic source of scientific material.
Basic purposes of the training bag:
- Identify project content, objectives, conditions, deadlines, and target functions.
- Identify training units, timing, objectives and topics for each topic.
- Identify roles (trainers and trainees) participating in training.
- Used as a general guide to the management of training courses.
- Providing basic scientific materials and tools for practical application.
- Provide tools to measure skills and knowledge acquisition.
Training bag properties:
The training bag has a series of characteristics, the most important of which are:
- Systematic: The school bag is a complete training system.
- Methodology: It is designed according to an organized scientific methodology.
- Inclusiveness: Use a variety of media and techniques.
- Specialization: The focus is on a particular field of science.
Good qualities of the training bag:
- Each package must have a special address or name.
- Training bags should focus on specific skills.
- The bag is intended for the trainee, not the trainer.
- Focus on the training objectives that the trainee wants to achieve.
- Diversity of activities, experiences, materials, methods and approaches.
- Training bags should take into account the economic aspects.
- Combine theory with application.
- Different techniques are used as a means of achieving goals.
- The training bag is practically linked to the trainee.
- The training package should include ways to collect comments.
- Follow the generally accepted principles of scientific research.
- The output is interesting.
- Stick to a schedule of bags and activities.
- List of references to take advantage of.
