Jim Gill comments on Frank Harford's message. :
"I agree that when teaching the haul or correcting a problem ,one should try a variety of techniques to find one that works best Observing a students speech pattern may give a clue as to which approach to try first.
" I don't feel that I'm getting this exactly right" ---------- kinesthetic approach
"I can't see what I'm doing wrong"-------------visual
I'd like to know when to start the haul"-----------cognitive
These observations are used in medical hypnosis to choose the most effective metaphors to use in trance. I think it has some application here too."
Hi Gordy -
in a nutshell this reply by Frank is spot on - one of the prime teaching sessions we use on our Level 1 and Level 2 UKCC (Coaching Certificate in Angling) courses is the use of the Welcome and building of Rapport with our students (learners) that will give the coach a clue as to how to direct the teaching session - where there is more than one in a group then the skill of the coach is to move from one method to the next - seamless so that no-one feels disadvantaged. This is so easy to overlook when we are diverted with the science of the cast we tend to forget the purpose - to be able to teach it. Whilst one may start with a coach-led session the follow on sessions will be more student centred so their needs are met.
Best wishes, Jim.
