Any One Chapter is a Bargain

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

One reviewer wrote that the book had a big font and the information found in the book could be found in an evening of googling, so I decided to buy it, and as I suspected I cannot substantiate his claims. With 25 years of training experience in all phases of ISD, this book is a treasure trove of information for me, and I have a M.S. in Training and Learning Technology.

It is not entertaining but it is not meant to be. Ms. Barbazette's writing style is analytical but informative. Every event in facilitation is broken down and examined in detail with templates to enhance recall, intuition, and learning e.g. do you know when to conduct role play, how to conduct role play, or the variations of role play you can employ, or why you would use them? Did you know there were five types of case studies, because I didn't. (I assumed there were only three). Whether it's instructional strategies, asking and answering questions, how to facilitate vs. instruct or train, determining your facilitation style, the author provides you with a thorough understanding of each. The book comes with a CD that has the templates that you can add to your thumb drive. The book is complete with a glossary, index and bibliography.

I take issue with only one thing in the book where Ms. Barbazette describes conditions of an objective as quantity, quality, sequence of actions, and speed (or time limitation). I treat these as criteria of an objective and would add accuracy as another possible criterion. The conditions or circumstances in which an objective is supposed to be achieved would be the resources such as equipment or tools, given or denied. In some conditions noise, temperature, or weather would also be considered conditions e.g. flying under instrument flight rules.

The training I love to conduct the most is Train-the-Trainer training, and there are a host of ideas I plan to use from this book for our topic in Facilitation Skills. (Of course full credit will be given to the author), just as I noticed that she acknowledges the contributions from others in her book.

Whether you are a neophyte, journeyman or highly experienced in training, this book is a worthy reference.

Any one chapter is a bargain.

Disappointed

The book shows that a CD should be included but there was not one. I guess I will need to return it. This is the first time I have been disappointed with a purchase from Amazon.

Old fashioned garbage

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013

Big font, a lot of empty talk, CD with basically nothing - this book doesn't worth its price. You will learn everything that is written here in 3-4 months of semi-intensive training practice, or an evening of googling.

A thorough collection of important presentation techniques

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014

This helpful, easy to navigate book gives the new trainer all the basics for impactful delivery and facilitation and will add to the experienced trainer’s tool kit with new strategies and classroom tactics. For me, the most impactful idea in the book is the five-step technique for processing the adult learning experience. I’ve used it, I’ve taught it and I’ve seen what a difference it makes to acceptance of new information and retention. The process is a set of steps to follow for each learning experience and can be used to design and deliver content on any topic as well. Clearly setting-up and debriefing any learning activity, including verifying that learners really understand the underlying concepts of a lesson and what to do with that understanding, is powerful stuff in any learning situation - classroom, virtual, or OJT. A welcome addition to any trainer's library.

Practical and Useful

What I love about Jean Barbazette's books is that they are practical and useful. This book is no exception. Everyone - experienced folks and those new to the profession - will find really helpful tools they can use immediately to become better trainers. Give yourself a leg up and read this book.

Book okay

Reviewed in Germany on March 28, 2013

The book is nice, doesn't tell me anything particularly new, just confirms what I already new. However, am sure it is useful for new trainers.
