Cognitive objective
Psychomoto r objective
To solve the problem of the teaching profession
1. COGNITIVE OBJECTIVES
To provide the philosophical and sociological background for instructional
and teaching situation.
To identify the educational
objectives in the present context
To develop an understanding
regarding the use

Psychomotor Objective
• To develop the skills to perform task independently
• To determine and use of teaching strategies effectively
• To train the persons for using different approach of teaching.
• Workshop technique is used to seed, explore and identify the solution to a problem.
• It is used for in-service teachers for giving awareness and training of new practice education.
• It provide an opportunity to prepare specific professional, vocational and
community service function
PROCEDURE
• The organization of the workshop can be divided into 2 phases:- 1. Pre-active phase
2. Active phase 1. THE PRE-ACTIVE PHASE
STEP 1 :- (DEFINE THE GOAL)
Every workshop must have a goal, clear goal should be kept at the center of the discussion
STEP 2 :- (DECIDE THE TARGET GROUPS)
Knowing who will participate directly refers to the objectives. Make a list of people who needs to be there. Try to be as specific as possible, but leave a few openings for last-minute
additions
STEP 3 :- (SELECT THE RIGHT LOCATION)
• Think about the logistics and practical details of the workshop for the selection of the location.
• Make sure that everyone be able to see the visual aids.
• Also make sure that the appropriate facilities for breakout sessions.
• Will everyone be able to reach venue or need to organize accommodations for people who
are coming from a long way.
STEP 4 :- (PREPARE AN AGENDA)
• MAIN POINTS
Create a list of main points to discuss and breakdown each larger point into details.
• VISUAL AIDS
List the visual aids if any, to be use for each point. If need technical support provide expert help, this helps the people to determine where they need to focus their efforts.
• DISCUSSION AND ACTIVITIES
Take a time to list exactly which group discussion and activities will be used at which point, in the workshop. How much time will be allowed for each exercise? Make sure that activities are appropriate for the size of the group and ensure that the venue has the resources.
STEP 5 :- (DEVELOP A FOLLOW-UP PLAN
The only way to find out if the workshop was a success is to have an effective follow
up plan. Create a questionnaire to give to all participants at the end of the event and
give them plenty of opportunity to share their opinion on how well it went. It is the only
way to learn and improve for the next time.
2. THE ACTIVE PHASE
STAGE 1 :- Presentation of the theme for providing awareness. Resources persons or experts are invited to provide the awareness and understanding of the topic. Paper reading is done to discuss the different aspects of the theme. In the first stage theoretical background is provided to the participants.
STAGE 2 :- Practice the method for its applicability. In the second stage the group is divided into small group on basis of language, subject's studies and every participants has to work individually and independently. A resources person or expert is assigned to provide the guidance for the work to be performed. Every trainee has to complete the task within the given period. At the end they meet in their groups and discuss and present their task to be completed.
STAGE 3 :-
At the round up of workshop, a representative of each group will then be asked to present the findings. In second stage, the participants are required to elaborate a meaningful ordering scheme for the thus for collected context elements.
The round up will be a reflective discussion with all workshop participants ; where the experience of teaching methods is put into personal (e.g. :- what value participants see in the use of teaching method ; or what elements regarding the context cause uncertainties with participants.)
FOLLOW UP
IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF GOOD
WORKSHOP.
EFFECTIVENESS IS ASCERTAINED BY AN
OBJECTIVE FOLLOW UP.
THE TRAINEES ARE ASKED TO CONTINUE THEIR TASK AND EXAMINE
ITS WORK ABILITY AND INABILITY IN
THEIR WORKING SETUP (INSTITUTIONS).
THE PARTICIPANTS ARE INVITED TO MEET AGAIN AND
PRESENT THEIR INSTITUTIONS
FEEDBACK REGARDING APPLICABILITY OF THE TOPIC OR NEW
PRACTICES.
THEY MAY GIVE SOME PRACTICAL
SUGGESTION IN THIS CONTEXT.
AND LAST REPORT OF THE WORKSHOP
IS PREPARED.
ADVANTAGE S

CONCLUSION
Workshop may be a room or building which
provides both the area and tools ( machinery ) that may be required for the manufacture of repair
manufactured goods. Workshop were the only places of production until the advent of
industrialization and factory.
