I am very happy to be here. Hope you're having a good day?. I love teaching as well as learning. So, it is another opportunity to know how to be a better teacher. I will be participating in this contest on developing teacher's knowledge and skill.
Seminars and trainings are helpful tools used in education to impart knowledge and skill to the learners. They might be similar, however they have distinct differences.
SEMINARS
Seminars are presentations that is focused on sharing information, sharing ideas and skill on a particular topic. Seminars are characterised by
•Theoretical: This means it focuses more on the theoretical aspects of learning, learning by book and not learning by practice.
•Informational: Seminars are there to pass our information to the participant on a particular subject or trend
•Short Term: Seminars are usually very short events, maybe lasting only for few hours
•One way communication: Seminars usually involve the teachers sharing the information to the learners. It has little or no interaction or input from the learners
TRAINING
Training is a more lively and interactive educational event. It is a hands-on event where everyone participates practically and skills, information and behaviours are shared. Training is characterised by
•Practical and Experiential: In training, it is a hands-on event. The learners learn by doing and not just by listening
•Two way communication: Training encourages communication not just only from the teacher, but also the learners.
•Long Term: Trainings are usually long term programs that may take days, weeks and even months
