Recommendation

Jim Vidakovich’s Trainers in Motion is published in a binder with dividers, so you can add your own notes and comments. This reader participation workbook parallels Vidakovich’s approach to involving participants in their own training. Vidakovich begins with an initial discussion of his approach, but the majority of the book is very hands-on, with descriptions of exercises, illustrations of room arrangements, lists of suggested approaches and questions for you to answer. This notebook is packed with good ideas from an expert on training. The caveat: at about $90, it’s a little pricey. Nonetheless, getAbstract.com recommends it with confidence to trainers and workshop leaders. If hands-on is your style, you have a very well-informed friend in Jim Vidakovich.

Take-Aways

  • Participation-centered learning is much more effective than traditional lectures.
  • This approach combines "Tell-Me," "Show-Me" and "Involve-Me" methods.
  • The three basic learning styles are visual, auditory and physical (kinesthetic) learning.
