Excerpt from Motor Transport Corps Executive Division Training Branch: Motor Truck Section Drivers Course Underlying all successful instruction must be the realization on the part of each man called upon to teach in any subject that all instruction is given for the student, not for the instructor. Obviously, then, the success of a teacher must be measured by the amount of his teaching which is converted into working knowledge by his students. The job, then, for every member of the instructing staff at every school is to put his information across so that the members of the class get it and are able to use it. The results obtained in frequent quizzes, oral test questions, or the performance of duties by the student, which require the application of material taught, are the fundamental measures of the success of the instructor in his work. Too much emphasis should not be placed on set written examinations, for a great deal of information may be acquired and used in a poll parrot manner, allowing a man to get high rating on a written examination, but a very low rating on any examination in which the student must apply the knowledge obtained in class room to the performance of a definite task. The instructor should also bear in mind that men learn most things through one, or more, of three senses: hearing, sight and touch, and that that instruction will be the most successful which permits the student to learn in the most ways. Furthermore, some men learn best by hearing, others, by touch, and still others by sight, so that no one method can be used with maximum success for all. Having the foregoing facts in mind, every instructor, in preparing his work for class presentation, should plan to use, to the fullest possible extent, in the class, pieces of equipment, such as: rifles, pack equipment, parts of vehicle mechanism, such as axles, carburetors, spark plugs, or even whole chasses, if required, etc., etc. He should also use blackboards as much as possible for sketches, diagrams or definitions, etc., and should, so far as possible, insist that each student keep a note book in each subject, which must be neat in appearance and accurate in their statements. This will necessitate their inspection periodically, which should be done by the instructor or his assistants. It will be seen that certain lectures are much shorter than would be required to fill the entire periods allotted to them. This is done purposely so that there will be an opportunity for the instructor to make up for lost time, occasioned by inspections, etc., etc.; or an opportunity for quizzes, special lectures, and such other work as the instructor may desire. It will also be seen in the course for Motor Transport Company Mechanics that in places a four-hour period is devoted to certain lectures. This is done because the company mechanic must be a skilled workman and it is not enough for him to be informed on a subject; he must also be able to perform certain duties. The long lecture period permits reiteration, discussion and repeated demonstration on the part of the instructor, so that the student will get all details and be able to use his information. The instructor should use all his ability to put his ideas across in as many ways as possible to be sure that his class gets them thoroughly. Instructors must look well to the discipline of their classes. Insistence should be placed on all students sitting in proper attitudes during class, and no lounging or otherwise careless appearance permitted.
