Group Training Classes & practice sessions

Group Training Sessions

The Goal of Group Classes and Training Sessions is to Provide Quality Instruction
       The goal of every business is to attract new customers and have a high retention rate of their repeat patronage. This why rink management provides packages that include skate rental, public session admission, plus a series of weekly lessons.

       Most group class programs utilize a badge system of promoting the skaters from one class level to another. When the skater progresses, they tend to purchase their own skates and add a few extra sessions to practice between classes to insure the pass the next badge.

       Many rinks encourage continued participation in group classes by offering intermediate and advanced classes to provide skills that will allow the skaters to participate in recitals, shows, carnivals and even enter low level competitions with small groups so everyone can earn a ribbon, rather than the larger groups of eight or more skaters in advance levels with only the top three receiving a small medal.

Abstract
The task performance of laboratory work groups whose members were trained together or alone was investigated. At an initial training session, subjects were taught to assemble transistor radios. Some were trained in groups, others individually. A week later, subjects were asked to recall the assembly procedure and actually assemble a radio. Everyone performed these tasks in small work groups, each containing three persons of the same gender. Subjects in the group training condition worked in the same groups where they were trained, whereas subjects in the individual training condition worked in newly formed groups.

Groups whose members were trained together recalled more about the assembly procedure and produced better quality radios than groups whose members were trained alone. Through an analysis of videotape data, the mediating effects of various cognitive and social factors on the relationship between group training and performance were explored.

The results indicated that group training improved group performance primarily by fostering the development of transactive memory systems among group members.

Relative effectiveness and efficiency of group vs. individual Relative effectiveness and efficiency of group vs. individual training of severely retarded persons. Favell JE, Favell JE, McGimsey JF.

Abstract

Two groups of severely retarded individuals were trained on a work recognition task: One group was trained individually, i.e., in one-to-one training sessions; the four members of the other group were taught simultaneously by one teacher. The group teaching strategy resulted in rates of acquisition that were similar to those found with individual instruction. Further, group training proved to be far more efficient in terms of teacher time; i.e., subjects trained as a group acquired significantly more skills in less teacher time than did individually trained subjects. The results indicate that group training is a viable and, at least in some situations, a preferable method for teaching severely retarded persons.
