Games trainers play : experiential learning exercises

Abstract

This volume presents a series of learning exercises intended for the use of trainers in the area of human resource development. The training aids presented were designed to provide vivid illustrations of key points within a lesson. These games are part of the process element of a learning experience. In contrast to other experiential exercises games tend to be brief inexpensive participative adaptable low risk and single focus. They can be used as session icebreakers to involve the trainees as illustrations or as session closings. Such games incorporate several classical principles of learning such as repetition reinforcement association and use of the senses. The chapters in this volume focus on conference leadership climate setting presentation methods motivation self-concept learning communication listening perception problem solving evaluation and transfer of training. For the over 100 games that are cited information is given on their objective procedure materials required (if any) and time required. In addition discussion questions are suggested.
