Learning and InstructionLearning and Instruction What is “mastery learning?”
Definition — when the learner can demonstrate proficiency and competence of all objectives
Mastering a skill means performing it in a reasonably comfortable, fluid, repeatable manner
Mastering knowledge means being able to apply the knowledge to diving situations

Learning and InstructionLearning and Instruction What is “mastery learning?”
Mastery learning in the PADI System means that every diver must meet every objective or performance requirement Meeting some, but not all objectives
is not acceptable
Marginal performance, barely meeting an objective, or meeting an objective with difficulty does not meet the definition
Unlike courses where students continue after understanding only some concepts, the PADI System requires 100 percent mastery

PADI programs are performance-based,
not time-based.
All performance requirements must be met before certification is issued. How long it takes to master a skill, learn information or complete an
entire course is not the issue. The concern is
what the student can do.

Learning and Instruction Learning and Instruction PADI System subscribes to
mastery learning because:
It’s student-centered, not instructor-centered
It’s objective-oriented and product-centered
It defines the instructor’s role as a mentor
It incorporates repeated rehearsals
Repetition is necessary for retention and mastery
It means constantly verifying student diver performance

Learning and Instruction Learning and Instruction What are the five categories of
learning and how do they apply to diver training? 1. Motor skill – physical movements by the
body, arms, hands, legs, etc. Divers learn how to perform motor skills by
reading descriptions, viewing videos and watching demonstrations
Divers perfect motor skills with practice You determine mastery by evaluating
performance in confined water and watching demonstrations in open water

2. Intellectual skills – knowing how and why things occur, being able to formulate and complete calculations, etc. Divers acquire intellectual skills through
independent study and participation in classroom discussions
Divers increase intellectual skills by applying them to diving situations
You determine mastery by checking diver answers on Knowledge Reviews and administering quizzes and exams

4. Attitude – beliefs and values that affect what choices people make Divers adopt certain attitudes by
interacting with course materials and by watching what you do and say
Role modeling reinforces proper attitudes
It’s difficult to measure attitude, but you can determine if a diver has the knowledge and skills to make a good choice

5. Cognitive strategy – a mental plan of action or method intended to accomplish a specific objective Divers acquire cognitive strategies through
study and classroom participation

Learning and Instruction Learning and Instruction When do most people learn best?
People learn best when they are ready to learn — use good judgment Diver must be intellectually, psychologically
and physically prepared Diver must not be
distracted by the environment or have concerns about hunger, health, relationships, esteem, etc.
Diver must be free from stress and anxiety

People learn best when they are at ease and having fun
Build rapport with student divers to gain their trust
Allow them to progress at their own pace and avoid putting pressure on them

Learning and Instruction Learning and Instruction What are the nine events of effective
instruction and how are they built into the PADI System?1. Gaining attention
— you’ll formulate contact and value statements to get attention
2. Informing the learner of the objectives — you’ll state objectives during all presentations
3. Stimulating recall of prerequisite learning — you’ll relate information to other topics during knowledge development presentations

Systems Approach to Diver TrainingSystems Approach to Diver Training What is a systems approach to
training and how does it relate to the PADI System? An instructional system is a set of related,
interacting educational tools (hardware) guided by an educational process (software) that is designed to accomplish a specific set of objectives
PADI System’s hardware (educational and instructional materials) and software (standards and procedures) help you ensure that divers achieve the intended learning outcomes — and remember material long after class

an instructional system?
1. Instructional systems are efficient
Most knowledge development occurs through independent study, which reduces necessary classroom time
More time is available for diver counseling and skill development
Divers know what to expect, thus come better prepared to participate
