“At this point in a lesson plan it is necessary to measure mastery in learners.”
Evaluation
For this event the designer takes time to think through what it is they want the learners to be able to do and what they should be able to do at the end of that particular session. The designer might say something like:
• “The risks of injury on the job are a matter of life and death. They involve every one of us.”
• “Before you leave, you should be able to identify the potential risks of injury you face on the job.”
• “You should be able to demonstrate how to conduct checks for unsafe conditions.”
• “You should be able to describe how to report unsafe working conditions to a supervisor or union representative.”
Direction
“Individual performance and practice in a safe environment are the main benefits of this event. Learners should now be able to test the waters of the new material.”
