This document is a Canadian Armed Forces instructional guide for cadet instructors, specifically for Proficiency Level Four, EO M409.01, Identify Methods of Instruction. It is designed for instructors delivering a 60-minute lesson to cadets who are training to become instructors themselves. The guide contains detailed lesson plans, activity instructions, and handouts.
The first teaching point is an in-class activity where cadets review methods of instruction previously taught in EO M309.02. Cadets work in groups to complete a Methods of Instruction Puzzle, matching descriptions and typical applications to six methods: group discussion, guided discussion, role-play, experiential learning, problem-based learning, and case study.
The second teaching point is another in-class activity where cadets describe each method of instruction in more depth. Groups create flip chart posters with sections for description, applications, preparation and development, and pros and cons. They then present their findings to the class.
The third teaching point is a group discussion on the application of methods of instruction. The guide provides suggested questions and criteria for choosing methods, along with examples of lessons that suit each method, such as interactive lecture for history, demonstration for first aid, and field trips for career exploration.
The document concludes with references to Canadian Forces training publications and an education website. Attachments include a teaching cartoon, worksheets, puzzle pieces, information sheets, and summary handouts for cadets to collect in binders.
