Extra task:
Without looking … What is the biggest potential
emergency on site? How many steps? Who would
like to try to name all seven? If you can only
name a few, then remember that you were not
asked to memorize. And the preview is the first
strategy.
For the trainer:
a simple 5 minute preview can save time and
promotes greater understanding and confidence
for the employee. Encouraging questions from
the preview reveals levels of understanding that
may require further training or upgrading.
For the employee:
Previewing sets the stage for recall and
comprehension and reduces stress because the
reader sees the scope of the task quickly; we are
more stressed by what we don’t know. It is also
the first step in tackling a large quantity of
reading. Previewing is one strategy which keeps
the employee in the moment. |
