5 Suggestions for trainers

If you use this Research Guide in training ...

Generally

  • Distribute handouts (including this Research Guide) to trainees one or several days before your presentation, or distribute them at the end of the presentation.
  • Do not distribute handouts at the beginning of a presentation, otherwise trainees will read instead of listen to you.
  • Ask trainees not to take notes, but to pay full attention to the training activity. Assure them that your handouts (and this Research Guide) contain all relevant information.
  • Keep your training activities practical. Reduce theory to the minimum that is necessary to understand the practical exercises.
  • Use the questions on page 4 (or a selection of questions) for examinations (quizzes, periodical tests, etc.). Allow consultation of handouts and books during examinations.
  • Promote interaction of trainees. Allow questions, but do not deviate from the subject.
  • Respect the time allotted.

    • Specifically

  • Discuss with trainees experiences and effects of land clearing (10 minutes).
  • Present the content of this Research Guide, using the study materials listed on page 3 (45 minutes). You may photocopy the illustrations and tables onto transparencies for projection with an overhead prjector.
  • Conduct the practicals indicated on page 3 (2 hours).
