Purpose of the Programs:
The purpose of the series of Programs is to prepare individuals for careers
in the public or private sector at the levels of:
Goals of the Programs:
The series of instructor training programs is designed to:
- Provide courses and content based on skills, identified through research,
that are needed by instructors and trainers,
- Provide quality instructors and trainers at all program levels,
- Provide instructors and trainers that have a balance of occupational
skills, the technological concepts underlying those skills, communications
skills, and instructional skills,
- Provide maximum flexibility in meeting both individual and school
or organization needs,
- Allow courses completed at any level to count towards higher program
levels, thus encouraging the professional growth of teaching staff.
Research Basis for the Courses and Content: 
Over the past thirty years, the skills required of a technical instructor
have been analyzed many times over. For a listing and description of these
studies, the reader is referred to Instructors, trainers, managers,
mentors: A competency study review (Collum, 1994.) Among these studies,
the tasks required by Nepalese technical instructors was analyzed using
the DACUM process in 1990. An analysis of all of these studies has led
to the selection of skills that are included in the design of our long-term
Programs.
Conceptual Terms:
The following model has been useful to us in planning and designing our
various programs. The model provides a way to examine and discuss the
various skills required by an instructor or trainer. Built on a foundation
of good attitudes, a technical instructor must have skills in the areas
detailed below:
General Education Skills: Those skills provided by primary
and secondary education in a wide variety of subject areas. For the purpose
of a technical instructor, the main subject areas are communication skills
(reading, writing and speaking), computational skills and science skills.
This body of knowledge is well documented in the literature. Most examinations
(SLC, college entrance) are designed to measure the attainment of the
competencies.
General Education Instructional Skills: Those skills
required to teach the general educational skills needed by students in
technical subjects in the most efficient and effective way. This body
of knowledge is well documented in the literature, is based on both research
and clinical experiences, and is taught in teacher education institutions.
Occupational Skills: Those skills required by the curriculum
of technical programs. This body of knowledge is only available if a recent
analysis of the occupation has been conducted. The processes (job analysis,
task analysis, instructional analysis) for determining this content has
been refined for over 30 years. Techniques like DACUM can provide a framework
of the competencies for an occupation in a short period of time.
Occupational Instructional Skills:
The ability to teach the subject matter skills required by the curriculum
in an efficient and effective way. This body of knowledge is poorly documented
and difficult to research. With few exceptions, little research is available
and the existing clinical experiences are fragmented and hard to find.
Instructional Skills:
The ability to perform the various instructional skills required of a
technical instructor. This body of knowledge is well defined for a technical
instructor. The occupation has been analyzed by various techniques for
over fifty years. Dozens of task lists have been generated.
