Train the trainer: checking what actually transfers to work
A well-received course does not prove that practice has changed. Research points instead to what participants can apply, and under which conditions.

A well-received course does not prove that practice has changed. Research points instead to what participants can apply, and under which conditions.

A detailed explanation does not necessarily help every participant. Research suggests adapting guidance to prior knowledge rather than putting everyone through the same learning sequence.

A clear explanation does not guarantee that knowledge will remain accessible. Research supports making room for unaided recall, without treating it as a universal method.

In training delivered in English to international teams, silence does not prove understanding. Research invites a closer look at the conditions that allow an error to be voiced and then examined.

Comprehensive documentation is not necessarily effective teaching material. Research encourages a distinction between what supports understanding and what must remain available for reference.

Shared vocabulary does not guarantee shared understanding. Training international experts also requires checking the distinctions that participants attach to words.

Providing more examples does not necessarily make a rule clearer. Research supports structured comparison, without treating resemblance as equivalence.

Feedback after every attempt can improve execution without strengthening learning. Technical trainers need to distinguish necessary support from assistance that becomes indispensable.
