INFORMAL LEARNING – AN OPPORTUNITY IN TRAINING EDUCATORS

Abstract

It is known that the most effective learning is informal and accidental. Coaching provides an ideal opportunity to learn in school, in a non-conventional, in that time when the need to develop a new skill or knowledge becomes necessary. Compared to academic activities coaching is non-aggressive, because it is focused on behavior rather than on results. Coach leads the process so that students live experience to develop valuable skills for themselves, rather than to do something that was imposed by the curriculum.

In this paper we bring to the attention of teachers and students this form of active learning, coaching, for the purposes of acquisition of own experiences in competition with itself in the involvement in getting performance. The coach / coordinator "helps skills training" through a dynamic interaction with the client / student. He relies on the natural ability of self-actualization / customers personal development. The way the coach is mentoring involves exploring an opportunity or a problem with the learner, then he becomes able to develop new knowledge and skills through individual work on opportunities or problems.

Coaching is accompanying the client into finding his own solutions to the difficulties they have. Benefits capitalize that informal learning should come from at least two directions: on the one hand, lead to improved performance and personal development of future specialists in education, on the other hand, would be an indirect and long-term investment in children that these specialists will educate.
