already know about a certain subject or

the class reviews what they wanted to know
and reflect on what they have learnedOnce they have exhausted all of the shared
knowledge in the room the trainer asks

6. KNOW WANT TO KNOW LEARN
WhyWhy
Trainees explicitly identify connections
between different pieces of learned
knowledge
7. KNOW WANT TO KNOW LEARN

level of detail needed for the lesson and can
adjust according to the student’s needs

10. THINK PAIR SHARE
How
THINK The trainer provokes trainees’ thinking
with a question, prompt or observation. The
students take a few moments just to THINK
about the questions
11. THINK PAIR SHARE
How
PAIR Trainees then PAIR up to talk about their
idea/observation. They compare their mental
notes and identify the answers they think are
best or most convincing

18. BRAIN STORM
How
Brainstorming is an informal approach to
problem-solving using lateral thinking
During brainstorming sessions there should
be no criticism of ideas. You are trying to
open up possibilities and break down wrong
assumptions

Brainstorming is useful when you want to
break out of stale, established patterns of
thinking and develop new ways of looking at
things

Write a question or acronym on each card
and an answer overleaf
Flashcards can be used for recall of facts
such as dates, formulae, acronyms,
structures, weapons etc

57. POSE
How
The trainer talks about a subject or topic
then sets up a question
Normally an open question with divergent
responses is the best rather than yes/no
responses
Do not look directly at someone when
asking the question and don’t lead with a
name
58. PAUSE After posing the question take a few
seconds to allow everyone to think about a
response
This is your opportunity to look around the
room and mentally decide who you will
direct the question to
Don’t linger on any face for too long, move
around the room and move your gaze
How
59. The best techniques is to not ask the person
you are standing closest too but someone
who might feel they went ‘under the radar’
POUNCE
Then drop a name at the last minute
This can be used to redirect someone who
may look like they are not paying attention
How
60. POSE
This method keeps everyone in the class
paying attention as they know at any
moment they may be asked to answer a
question
Why
61. PAUSE
Asking open questions also allows trainees
to think about a response rather than just
being ready with a yes or no
Why
62. POUNCE
Asking the question to someone not paying
attention can be a reminder to the whole
class. The mild embarrassment for the
student will ensure they pay attention to the
rest of the lesson
