2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Why The Auxiliary Public Education Program Is So Important? In 2010 four NFL football players took a one day fishing trip off the coast of Florida. Three men drowned and one survived. The official cause of the accident was anchoring to the stern.

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. The Instructor KNOWLEDGE CONTROL The new instruction must link with previous learning. This is the crux of why interaction is critical. You must know some of what the students know in order to assist them to make the links that make the instruction meaningful. What Works 22

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Designing the Educational Strategies What Doesnt Work What Works Reading from book or PowerPoint Interactive participation Teaching Facts in isolation Using Ideas & Concepts Not Connecting with what is known Two Way Conversations Instruction must be personally relevant to the student. Concepts 23

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. What Can We Do To Help Improve Retention o Interest o Desire to know o Motivation o Curiosity o Discussion o Involvement / hands on o Humor o Connections to previous knowledge o Repetition How many of these concepts do you use in your instruction?

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Instructional Strategies Lecture Lecture + Discussion Questioning Demonstrations Hands On Films, Slides, Handouts Role Playing These people are involved. Do you use all these strategies? Course killer 25

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. A Course Killer Boredom If a presentation is boring students actually cant hear what is being said. How far into a boring presentation before shut down? Just minutes. How you introduce what you will cover is crucial to audience participation. Students must see you as knowledgeable and believe you are going to cover material that is both useful and interesting to them personally. This will set the stage for the rest of the course. Whats in it for me 26

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Ok! What do we do first? Your presentation must answer the students main concern. "What's in it for me" discussion Intro to PE class 27

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Intro to new PE class Why are you taking this course? 1. What is the appropriate sound signal when boating in fog? 2. What does a scope of 7 to 1 mean? 3. When 2 boats are approaching head on, who has the right of way and what is the most appropriate course of action? 4. On a river chart you often see RDB, (right descending bank), what does that mean? 5. What is the difference between a Day Mark and a Buoy? 6. On your vhf marine radio what does the DSC button mean? Your Boat / Your Guests / Jet Boat Parking Lot Too much info 28

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. New Research Findings Dr. Dimoka, at Temple University, found the more information you have on any topic, the less likely you are to make the right decision. Ground Covering 29

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. The Ground Covering Complex Instructors often believe they need to tell the students everything they know on a particular topic. Limiting the material to be covered and deciding how the material should be presented may be the two most important variables for improving the quality of instruction. Learning requires active thinking and processing time to make connections. Key word 30

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Key Word Search Any word you determine to be of great value. Focus should be on preventing accidents. You choose the topics and what to emphasize. Some material that is not critical to saving lives can be read by the students. Deciding What to Teach What not to teach 31

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Deciding What Not To Teach When teaching About Boating Safely, Many believe there is too much to remember . If all the notes are used with ABS, you will have to change the subject every 45 seconds. Deciding what not to teach is just as important as deciding what to teach. Key words 32

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Using Key Words ABS is divided into seven chapters. Look for key words in the chapter that will become your focus. Keywords should be ranked. Words related to fatalities or preventing accidents have the highest ranking. Chapter 1, Know Your Boat Key Word Search: Port & Starboard Transom Freeboard Draft Beam PWC & Lanyard Length Types of Hulls & Engines If you focus on these key words you will have covered the most significant aspects of the chapter. As an example, words in red are important and should be emphasized. 33

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Chapter 2, Before Getting Underway (7 pages) Key word search: Capacity plate Float Plan Pre-Departure check Accessories Fueling Trailering is not on the key word list. Trailering is mostly a collection of facts that can best be done by independent study. Providing a sequential checklist handout is very effective. This may be the place to discuss the time and type of boating experience for each class member. Where do they boat and what kind of boat to they have? Using Key Words 34

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Chapter 3, Navigating the Waterways (13 pages) Key Word Search : Rules of the road Give way Stand on Meeting head on Overtaking Approaching from side Sidelights White lights Night operations Sound Signals Navigation aids Day marks & Buoys Lateral significance River systems Magnetic compass GPS & Charts Locks & Dams Tides This is an important chapter and deserves a significant amount of time. It is also the place where the material can be adapted to the specific region of the country. The instruction must be interactive and suited to local conditions. Using Key Words 35 Regional Conditions

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. Start By Using Regional Models Boating Conditions Boating Offshore and in the Gulf, requires great attention be paid to; Tides, Waves, Changing weather conditions, Distance from land, water conditions, Communications Coastal Navigation Great Lakes boating requires great attention be paid to: Large waves, Extreme weather conditions Distance from land, Communications Navigation.

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. With the use of items found around the home you can improve the effectiveness of instruction. The topic is Backfire Flame Arrestors. Many class members dont understand the concept. Simple Solution: Use a kitchen mesh strainer and a candle. Slowly move a lighted candle up into the over turned strainer and watch what happens to the flame. It is dispersed but does not go though the open mesh strainer. Students will remember this demonstration. Simple Visual Demonstrations Boat 37

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. More Simple Examples When teaching About Boating Safely, bring a small boat on a trailer and put it in the parking lot near the classroom. Take the class outside and let them touch and walk around the boat. When covering chapters 1 and 2 the students can see the transom, find the freeboard and touch the gunnels. For new boaters this is a valuable experience. Teaching Aids 38

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. The chart has information you dont need. Create a simpler chart with just the details you need to make your point. Compare this chart with the one on the next page Teaching Aids 39

2011ITWorkshop Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. The use of a simple hand drawn chart can cut the learning time in half.
