The complete action model is a proven method in training to teach trainees not only knowledge, but also how to work independently. The idea is that they do not simply carry out instructions, but understand and help shape the entire work process.
The six steps at a glance ๐
1๏ธโฃ Inform: The apprentice collects all relevant information about the task. Which materials, tools or machines are required?
2๏ธโฃ Plan: Before starting, the apprentice considers the work sequence. What sequence makes sense? Are there any safety precautions?
3๏ธโฃ Decide: The best approach is now selected from the possible procedures. As the trainer, you can provide support here and the trainee should weigh up the options themselves.
4๏ธโฃ Execute: Now it's time to work! The apprentice implements their plan and pays attention to precision and quality.
5๏ธโฃ Check: Is the result as desired? This is where they check whether the dimensions, surfaces and functions are correct.
6๏ธโฃ Evaluate: Finally, the apprentice reflects on their work. What went well? Where is there room for improvement?
